(plant trees, shrubs, and perennials) • Combine the warming house and the picnic shelter • Use arbor around picnic area that is combined with shelter. • Make sure shelter is open during ball season for bathrooms and a storm shelter. • No picnic shelter • Use the existing lights for hockey and skating rink_ Just need new poles for new locations. • Look at traffic issues along Shamrock and Mcalaster. • Expand the proposed parking lots north and south along Shamrock and Mcalaster. • When sport activity are is session make it park only on the park side of the roads for both Shamrock and Mcalaster. le make it so that people can in the parking lots and not the streets. + Have public works remove the old warming house. • Need larger play equipment for a wider age group and larger equipment to accommodate several kids on the equipment at once. • Use recycled rubber for play area base. Sand is too messy for the kids; t gets in their eyes and clothes. Also animal's waste is an issue for the use of sand. There are too many trees in the proposed plan. • Plant large more mature trees in strategic spots rather then a whole grove of smaller trees. • Only need irrigation for shrubs and perennials. • Do not need a third row of trees. (Proposed plan) • Need a high fence of some kind to block any pucks that may travel over the rink on the north side. Thus, protect the neighbor's property to the north and any foul balls from the ball field. • .Keep the basketball court and possibly form into a full court and or a short court? • Keep the path around the park. Will lighting keep older kids there after dark, vandalism, extra. • Keep pine trees in the south east half of the park, kids love to climb them.
