Themes we heard:

• People love this park! Having the park near the recreation center and library makes it a destination.
• Many people said they walk or take transit
• Parking can be an obstacle
• Lots of concern about speeding and the intersections near the park
• Need for traffic calmingand better border/boundary around park from playground
• Refresh/update the playground equipment and recreational facilities
• Pool could use more shade, seating
• Need consistent bathroom access and changing room for pool.

Themes we heard:

• Need consistent bathroom access
• The spray feature needs to be majorly improved, since the sunflower doesn’t turn off and ground below it is slippery and dangerous.
• Contention around use of field as dog park.
• Many people want to see a designated dog park, but the City policies won’t support a smaller area with that sanctioned use.
• More seating
• Horseshoes pits are not used.
• Basketball tournaments are a big deal, ensure updates support that programming
• Court isn’t lined for regulation tennis or pickleball, makes it difficult to use for anything.
• High fencing around perimeter impacts getting to and through the park
• Baseball diamond isn’t used frequently, many commented that the field would be better if broken up to provide some more walking paths, trees, etc., while keeping a somewhat large useable portion for more open play
