Westside would improve the 2 acres as playground space and use it during school hours and then make it available to the public when school isn't in session, under the plan. ``In the event we needed more space, we could develop a play yard that would ultimately become the park,'' Superintendent Regina Rossall said. ``Whether we will do that, we don't know Don't know (DK, DKed) "Don't know the trade."

One of the 5acres is dedicated for a proposed fire station, Palmdale Parks and Recreation Director Russ Bird said. ``We are glad to work with the school district. The city is not in a position to give away parkland. We are affected by the same growth,'' Bird said. ``This is still a cooperative effort between the two agencies, and it's a win-win situation for the city and the district.'' The Palmdale City Council will consider the agreement at its Feb.6 meeting. The Westside board approved it last week. Discussions between the city and Westside began after the district expressed an interest in acquiring the vacant park site at a May 2006 meeting. At the time, Westside officials broached the idea of obtaining the parcel either through buying it from the city or a land swap involving a 10-acre property owned by the district at Avenue N-8 and 52nd Street West. Since then, the district has decided to build an elementary school elementary school: see school. on the 52nd Street West site, which will help ease the overcrowding overcrowding overcrowding of animal accommodation.
