I looked at that property with a few other golfers and organizers several years ago (I will let them make a comment if they want to). I also spoke with the Hillsboro park director and what I was told is exactly what you are saying today. I believe that was three years ago now and imagine what we could have done with that property, instead it sat there unused and over grown.

My guess is it will continue to sit unused and wasting away. If they do parcel it and develop part of it then the space would be greatly reduced for a course. The creek flowing through is a protected water way and its easement must be protected. With that out of play and one side or the other being developed pretty much puts the stake through the heart of a great piece of property.

I would have like to of seen this developed as a park with running trails and or disc golf before a stupid housing development as if there are not enough empty townhouses and house in Hillsboro already.
