Impact analysis
Even with a $1 million grant, the borough would likely fund only about a third of the full vision, phased over years.
Families and youth sports users would gain fields, seating and amenities at the park.
Some nearby residents may want more say before the borough commits to the plan's direction.

A three-phase, $3.7 million plan would add turf practice fields, a pavilion, playground, trails and overflow parking at Colwood Park. Council votes next week on asking the state for $1 million toward phase one; some members want broader public input first.
