Existing park signage could be replaced with something new and better or at the very least replace signs that are missing or vandalized. 2. Signage could be added to the backstops of the fields at Pioneer Park that could contain Little Canada's identity and our logo. The Commission thought that staff should move forward with these ideas. The Director asked for other suggestions to promote community identity within our park system. Broten suggested adding signage to trails where they cross roads telling the name of the road. Sackett Glaser suggested adding signage to trails to identify the trail and giving directions to nearby parks. The Director encouraged members with other suggestions to let him know about their ideas for discussion at next month's meeting. Page 1 of 3
