VALPARAISOÂ â The Porter County Park Board got itself into a sticky wicket over legal expenses related to a proposed croquet court at Sunset Hill Farm County Park.
The Park Board had asked permission to use $4,000 from its nonreverting fund to pay for legal expenses related to an agreement with the Northwest Indiana Croquet Association.
The group proposes building a croquet court for members and the public to use near the amphitheater. The county wouldnât pay any of the expenses related to developing the croquet court.
The 1-acre court would require utilities and have other impacts significant enough that a long-term contract is needed, Parks Superintendent Walter Lenckos told the County Council.
