Egelman Park is one of the city’s most valuable parks, so it’s time to end the current lease and take proposals from new groups to run it this summer, City Council and Mayor Vaughn D. Spencer’s administration agreed Monday.
That didn’t sit well with Randy Gaston, who has a 25-year lease that runs through 2018.
He and his East Reading Athletic Association have run the Egelman concessions and baseball fields for 20 years.
Contacted after the meeting, Gaston said he can’t run the youth baseball program if he doesn’t have a field.
