STAFF REPORT <br />TO: Parks & Recreation Commission <br />FROM: Bryce Shearen, CPRP, Parks & Recreation/Community Services Manager <br />DATE: August 5, 2021 <br />RE: Canadian Days Engagement <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />None. <br />BACKGROUND <br />Park & Recreation Commissioners were at a booth on Saturday, July 31 at that annual Canadian <br />Days festival getting feedback on the proposed Pioneer Park Master Plan from the community. <br />The booth had four display boards; Project Overview, Youth Art Display, Improvements and <br />Evolution, and a Play Node concept board, a comment box, and some goodies to giveaway. <br />Attached is a picture of one of the display boards that asked for individuals to put a sticker on the <br />play feature or water feature they like. From the stickers collected on the board, there is a <br />majority of stickers on the water features indicating excitement and interest around a water <br />feature being added to the plan. Additionally, attached are some written comments that were in <br />the comment box. <br />Commissioners that volunteered at the booth are asked to share their findings of what they heard <br />from the community at the meeting on Thursday night. The comments from the Commissioners <br />and attachments will be shared with Bolton & Menk as they are preparing for the completion of <br />the Pioneer Park Master Plan. Additionally, the boards will be displayed in the lobby at City <br />Hall to inform the community about enhancement efforts at Pioneer Park and continue to gather <br />feedback that can be used as new features are being implemented. <br />Bolton & Menk will be presenting the Pioneer Park Master Plan at the City Council meeting on <br />Wednesday, August 11, 2021. Parks & Recreation Commissioners are welcome to attend. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Commission discuss the feedback that was received from the Canadian <br />Days engagement efforts.
