A working group is meeting weekly to determine a new location for a park on Columbus' southwest side.
This comes after the city decided to use McCoy Park for a new soccer training facility.
Officials say that guaranteeing this land for the training facility was essential to the city’s bid for a professional women’s soccer team.

We're talking about it on this hour of All Sides.
