Today (April 8th) was the first time workers were fixing the track? The tennis courts have not even been touched since the school was finished. Filled with pine cones and tree debris. No nets at all.<br /><br />We actually love this park just as it is. Walk there almost every single day. Today adults and kids were playing on the big field and in the playground. And during most nice days that is how that park is, simple and fun for most. It could use a bit of dressing up, swings for older children, maybe some more younger toddler type equipment. Also bring back the older adult exercise equipment. Fix the drainage on the far west side of the field and replace the stands. Then the baseball field might be fixable and usable. Biggest complaint among older people is no benches scattered around the park and looks like none in the diagram. And how about a few more garbage cans scattered around like in olden times. Maybe a stand with doggie poop bags for those who forget to bring them. <br /><br />With the work done on the stream by Boni and team, that is a very beautiful walk. Short but it is a place to listen to the many birds and a place that can bring peace to many local people. It just needs a bench or two along that stream. <br /><br />Really hoping that no trees are going to be sacrificed. The tree against the rock wall that gave kids and people shade during the hot summer days has had the lower branches removed so no more welcoming coolness there for sports or walker people.<br /><br />So here is hoping that if this passes our small spot of happiness is not totally destroyed with some unreal improvements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-67771865212313624172021-04-07T09:19:16.344-07:002021-04-07T09:19:16.344-07:00Can you explain what is "tired" about th...Can you explain what is "tired" about the playground equipment? It looks like it's in good shape. Perhaps the color scheme is out of favor?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
