I agree with SA's opinion of this proposal.  Since the children of Park Lane and the other luxury condos in the immediate area probably don't have a play area for their residents, why not carve out a piece of public land, call it a "partnership" to be run by a private entity, that will mostly benefit those privileged residents right across the street?

As developers of Kakaako, why didn't they set aside some land to build a park that would serve more people in the area?  I know when our subdivision was built the developer agreed to donate and clear out a parcel of land to expand the district park, which we all enjoy.  These folks are only trying to take advantage of public land that we the taxpayers are paying for.  

Tacking this idea to the beach volleyball courts is a sneaky way to get this private enterprise introduced.  Our precious parks should never be for private interest or commercialization.
