Drake v. City of Benton Harbor
About This Legal Opinion
The appellate court affirmed, holding that golf is a park and a public purpose consistent with the 1917 restrictions and the 2004 agreement, both unambiguous. The court declined to review extrinsic evidence that anyone intended the word 'park' to refer to passive recreational uses.
