- 5- <br />we plan a building sparingly in order to conserve open space of thie park <br />site. A building structure tends to contradict the natural environ�ntal <br />theme and therefore a bu3lding plan with natural atmosphere and design is <br />recommended. <br />A woaden walkway will lead from the building to each of the two skating <br />ponds during [he winter. These wooden walkways can be easily removed <br />during non-winter mon[hs. <br />The building will be equipped with restrooms, one for men, one for women. <br />These restrooms will te desit{ned to acco�odate persons confined to wheel- <br />chairs. Drinking fountains will be buil[ into the building walls, one on <br />the inside and another on the outside of the building. These fountains <br />will provide both a high spout for adults and a low spout for children <br />and persons in wheelchairs. A telephone will also be provided inside the <br />building. Again it will be placed in the reach of wheelchair persons <br />about 18" high. <br />Picnic Site <br />The band of trees provides an excellent area for a picnic site. Most <br />persons prefer to picnic in a tree setting for beauty, shade, and wilderness <br />atmosphere. Picnic benches should be strategically dispersed in.the wooded <br />area. Care should be taken not to place tables too close to other tables. <br />At least one picnic table which is designed for persons in wheelchairs <br />t� �li;. •W 3e* ±h? tables without hitting table leg-obstacles.

Rather than specify <br />land use for the park, open space is proposed. Open space follows the <br />theme of leisure atmosphere, passive observation, creative pursuits and <br />individual interests. Many parks are designed with specific uses such as <br />baseball fields, basketball courts, and hockey rinks. However, an open <br />apace area allows freedom for activities such as frisbee, catch, flying <br />kitea, dancing, and other such spontaneous activities which one may wish <br />to pursue. Open space encourages persons of creative and different interests <br />to enjoy park areas. Open space also provides breathing room. Parks which <br />are entirely designed for special uses tend to cater to special interest <br />persons. Nowever, open space in Ardan Park would provide an area for any <br />and all persons in the community to pursue recreational activities of � <br />various types. -� <br />
