The Harvard Westlake School, which purchased the Weddington Golf & Tennis facility in Studio City four years ago, plans to transform the space into a sports complex - but residents are saying no.
"I play disc golf and I go there quite often in the afternoon. You're not going to have access to it in the afternoon ... I understand Harvard-Westlake is well intended, but it's a private school. They're going to have priority over this," Nye said.
Harvard-Westlake's plans include two sports fields, two gyms, eight tennis courts, a 50-meter pool and a 500 car underground parking lot, plus walking and jogging trails. The school's president says their plan is consistent with the desires of the community and meetings have been held. Harvard-Westlake says dozens of changes have been made after their original proposal, but residents opposed tell Eyewitness News the project map looks the same and say the city can't afford to lose anymore trees.
