I guess so. But keep in mind that FOCP is an organization like any other. And they collect dues. So, for example, if you wanted to spearhead the effort without dues, you could go out yourself and do a lot of legwork and research, and then go door to door and let everyone in the general public vote on your park options. But it would still be your group, so it's your initiative. In this case, the idea has been discussed within FOCP so they can vote to see how or if they as a group want to lobby for it. It's internal to them. That doesn't stop any other group from forming to pursue it without dues or fees.
I guess this means that if you are against it and you are a member, you can vote that FOCP not support it. If you are not a member, you can contact your public representatives (city council, etc.) and express your dissent for free.
