NEWPORT BEACH

Parks, Beaches and Recreation commissioners have sent plans for Bonita Canyon Park back to the architect consultant for recommendations on what can be cut from the 33.5-acre park to meet the $5.9-million budget.

The commission agreed to try to keep all major aspects--including baseball diamonds, soccer fields, walking trails and tot lots--but delete some extra amenities, including landscaping in parking lots and a scenic overlook. A study session will be held at the end of the month, with the final proposal possibly being considered in March.
