Other locations discussed was Gildner <br /> Park, Sibley Lake Park, Baptist Church (isolated), Gloria Dei Church and Grace <br /> United Methodist Church (out of the way). The kids would like it centrally <br /> located. It would need to be constructed of cement, although nature would be <br /> attractive.
