Good evening!
I live two blocks away from Comiskey Park. I attended many of the community input meetings in 2019-
2020 for Comiskey Park. My family and I are very excited that Phase I did Comiskey Park is under way
and is currently scheduled to be completed by Memorial Day 2023. We are a family of 5 - myself, Mike
(my husband), Matthias (9 years old), Evelyn (7 years old), and Hannah (4.5 years old). All of us,
especially my children, are thrilled Comiskey Park will be ready to play at the end of the 2022-2023
school year!
Please make it a priority to fund Phase II of the Comiskey Park plan. Comiskey Park is crucial in not only
our neighborhood, but also the City of Dubuque. So many community activities take place in and around
Comiskey Park. Continuing to fund this project will not only help the North End Neighborhood, but also
Dubuque as a whole. With Comiskey Park's proximity to the Bee Branch Greenway, more people in
Dubuque, the surrounding area, and tourist interested in riding the Heritage Trail would benefit from
Phase II of the Comiskey Park plan.
I am also hopeful that Phase II of Comiskey Park will be completed before my oldest child graduates high
school. He is currently in 3rd Grade at Prescott Elementary School.
My family and I are committed to making our neighborhood and our community a better place not only
for our family, but for all families in Dubuque.
I am willing to commit my time as a volunteer to help in any way I can to help this project continue. I
know I would not be the only person willing to help in this capacity.
Thank you for your time and your consideration.
Your neighbor,
