Basketball court?

The Stansbury Park listing states that tennis courts, basketball courts and children's play areas are available. I am aware of the two tennis courts (one near the swimming pool and one near the original elementary school), but cannot remember seeing a basketball court. Of course the most significant children's play area is the playground near the new observatory; the Woodland Park should also be mentioned. Readers may not be aware (or remember) that for a time (around the year 2000?) Stansbury Park had its own library, housed in the basement of the clubhouse. It finally folded (after about a year of trying), probably due to lack of patron usage. The main librarian was Raini Heap. Raymondwinn (talk) 03:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BasketBall Courts

There are two dedicated basketball courts and the tennis courts by the pool also have basketball standards.

The first one is a small court between 114 and 115 Country Club. This court has lights for night play.

The second court has poles on both ends and is located across the street north of the viaduct in the greenbelt.

There is also a new pad poured in the Woodland Park which is waiting for the new basketball standards to be installed.

UPDATE: Two (2) basketball standards have been installed in Woodland Park.

Benson Grist Mill clarification

A previous version of thr Stansbury Park page stated that the nearby Benson Grist Mill was owned by a prophet of the LDS Church, Ezra Taft Benson, thus the mill's name. That is not correct, but there is some confusion on the subject. At the formal dedication of the restored mill, President Benson spoke. He said that his great-grandfather (? - some people think he said it was his grandfather) was on the LDS Church-formed committee charged with creating the mill. The mill was built in 1854 by George Lee, a contractor hired by the Church. A member of the committee (not Benson) moved his family to the site in 1854 to be in charge of the mill. In 1866, the Church did sell the mill to Benson; a deed in the Tooele County Courthouse record shows that ET Benson gave a note ($3333.33) to Brigham Young for the mill, all appurtenances thereto, and all outbuildings on the land. He kept the mill for a few years then passed ownership to another. (This data from "History of Tooele County" Vol. 1). Raymondwinn (talk) 03:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
