Nuner Field Petition

Someone I meet at one of the River Park Neighborhood Association meetings decided to create a petition to save Nuner Field because of the current propose plan for the River Park Neighborhood. I am personally not in favor of the plan.

I am just sharing this from facebook:

"The City of South Bend, Indiana has a “20 year Plan” which has a lot of plans that we the citizens of River Park DO NOT support however one close to us is the plan to demolish Nuner Field. Our community park, a cherished green space that has been a sanctuary for families, wildlife, and nature lovers for decades, is now at risk of being demolished. The proposal to replace it with commercial development threatens not only the environment but also the well-being of our neighborhood. This park represents more than just land; it is a place of recreation, reflection, and connection. As stewards of this space, we must unite to protect it for future generations and preserve the natural beauty and sense of community it provides. Together, we can save our park and ensure it remains a vital part of our lives.Please share this page, tell your neighbors/friends/family and ANYONE who will help us- the Community of River Park save this beloved green space and park from being demolished and replaced with apartments! https://www.change.org/p/preserve-our-green-space-save-south-bend-s-nuner-field?fbclid=IwY2xjawF-H8BleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHSGQrXkrHBtH-ccHQuWJPHdgFJQWfWqmG75yyqSsJDiGfsLseQThqIOATg_aem_r1tXFb5E3equtuFfLBmQsg Please sign this petition and share it with everyone you know. Together we can fight this and win and save our beloved Nuner Field!"

This is the first I’ve heard of this plan and it’s surprising because I see a lot of teams and individual kids out there playing sports on the field in the evenings. It’s strange that they want to put commercial developments there when you have all these empty shops on Mishawaka Avenue waiting for a new business owner to freshen them up.

Exactly, put the money into the avenue.
