What next on Race Course land? A parking lot ???

The Lease for the race course is set to expire in 2009 and Yeddyurappa has said that he won't renew the lease. I think its a great idea. Right now that big patch of public land is used only by a few - those who indulge in horse -racing.

I think the best use of the land would be to make it into a park or part park-part , part-playground. We have a shortage of green spaces and playgrounds in the city.And these are public spaces which can be used by anyone irrespective of income etc. However there was talk of building an amusement park there(i read this some days back in DH I think) or even underground parking lots (see article below) .

I dont know what will be on the surface level if there is an underground parking lot, but it wont be a park for sure!

I guess the government should take inputs from citizens as well before deciding.

If the government does open a channel to get public inputs , I personally would request that the land is used for either creating a park or part-park, part-playground.

What do you guys think? If any of you agree, what do you think are the ways in which we can start engaging with the government to do this?
Any other views on what this land could be used for?
