5/13/23 PEC Parks Tour <br />Atendees: Terese Bordeau, Lona Doolan, Lily Fee, <br />Michael Guest, Cody Holliday <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br /> <br />Top Things that Stuck Out: <br />• Lack of recycling and compos�ng collec�on bins at parks <br />• Lack of wayfinding to park/features and within park <br />• Poor condi�on of many pathways & trails <br />• Mostly fairly clean parks <br />• Lots of green spaces, but underu�liza�on of non-athle�c green spaces <br /> <br />Good Things: <br />• Infrastructure (picnic shelters, playgrounds) was overall good. <br />• Lots of greenery (trees, landscaping, foliage) <br />• Play equipment has aged well, except for skate park and Central splash pad. <br /> <br />Challenging: <br />• Lack of well-designed pathways and accessibility <br />• Unused space (e.g. ice arena and hockey space) <br />• Op�miza�on of seasonal usage of parks & spaces <br />• Overgrown plants / maintenance of gardens (ideal would be for low- <br />maintenance plan�ngs and city would do base upkeep, while garden club <br />can help to beau�fy) <br /> <br />Opportuni�es: <br />• Consider new park area(s) when commercial area around Kenzie Terrace is <br />redeveloped <br />• Solar arrays on structures, i.e C.P. Pavilion, storage tank, etc. <br />• Underu�lized green spaces, Lack of bike racks in most parks, need more <br />ligh�ng in Emerald, no good basketball court
