Audubon Institute Plan "B"
The plan adopted by the Audubon Commission on October 24th, 2001.
Despite vociferous opposition at the Audubon Institute public meeting on October 15th, and again at
the Audubon Commission meeting of October 24th, this mild compromise plan was approved by the
Audubon Commission.

A Compromise Plan
SaveAudubonPark suggests a compromise
One alternative plan, that saves the oak grove and the Heymann Conservatory from
destruction.

Audubon Institute Plan "A"
The plan revealed on October 9th, and presented at the October 15th Public Meeting.
This plan was published on the Audubon Institute website on October 9th, and was presented at the Audubon
Institute Public Meeting on October 15th, where it was roundly condemned.
|
|
Background
|
|
|
The $6 Million Dollar Plan
From $3.5m to $6.0m in 24 months
The Institute has taken great pains to not confer with park users. Could this be
because there is nothing in their plan that is in the interests of these local
people?
|
|
|
|
Our Loss...
What do we stand to lose?
The magnificent grove of live oak trees shown in the banner photograph above is
one of the most natural and untouched areas of the park. It is slated to become
the site of the new clubhouse and other facilities, with roads built throughout
|
|
|
|
...is Their Gain
The new golf course devours huge amounts of additional
public green space, including areas of the park that could never by any stretch
have been considered part of the golf course.
|
|
|
|
Who Benefits?
The new plan impacts many, but who exactly does it
benefit?
|
|
|
|
Golf Anyone?
Golf and Safety Issues
The Audubon Golf Course, one of the oldest in the South, was established in 1898
when the Olmstedian central park meadow was leased to the private Audubon Golf
Club to raise revenue for the park.
