I grew up in the neighborhood. As I recall from my high school days in the early ’80s, when the site between the CWC and the Rec Center was proposed, the aficionados of the horseshoe pits objected so strenuously, and with sufficient support, that the library site was moved to the parking lot of the Rec Center, displacing the parking lot and outdoor basketball courts, and forcing the playground to be moved further away form the buildings as well.
