Attend meetings: this is important for consistent messaging throughout the <br />design process <br />b. Brainstorm ideas: we'll be having an open discussion and brainstorming ideas <br />that we can use in our design process <br />c. Provide input to guide planning outcomes: we need your input to help provide <br />feedback on the design so we can further refine how the spaces are shaped <br />4. Master Plan Review <br />a. Overall master plan <br />b. Playground vision / goals: difference between an inclusive playground and an <br />accessible playground <br />• Meets a variety of interests, ages, abilities and challenge levels in an <br />interactive play experience rather than a separate space or activity <br />• Varying sensory stimulating experiences <br />• Socially engaging <br />• ADA requirements are focused more on mobility, which is about 1 % of all <br />disabilities. The remainder include cognitive, emotional, hearing, vision, <br />autism, speech, social and combinations <br />• Needs of caretakers: 40% grandparents provide childcare to their <br />grandchildren <br />• Promote interaction between parents/caregivers and children <br />c. Design Development further refines the master plan by creating more defined <br />design based on actual site conditions, programming and spatial configurations. <br />This is where we take it from a 1,000 foot high level down to a pedestrian level. <br />Eventually we'll be getting into the 1/4 inch level. <br />5. Programming Discussion / Brainstorming <br />a. Design Themes: exploring type of design theme that would be appropriate here <br />b. General appearance / appeal: What playground have you visited, what made it <br />memorable, what types of evets you want here, what works well? <br />• Magic Forest Playground: Kept kids interest entire time, loved exploring, <br />great entrance feature (single entrance), hide and seek, forts, and music <br />https://www.yelp.com/biz/magic-forest-playground-ormond-beach-2 <br />• Madison's Playground: sometimes the disc swings are not completely <br />accommodating for securing in but had a great zip line. <br />https://www.playlsi.com/en/commercial-playground- <br />equipment/plavgrounds/madisons-place/ <br />• Minneapolis Wabun (Camper Park): themed around historical camping <br />events that took place here, fun with wading pool <br />https://www.plaVisi.com/en/commercial-playground- <br />equipment/plavgrounds/wabun-picnic-area-minnehaha-regional-park/ <br />• Arcand Park: newer park with fun events, zip line <br />• Lions Park in New Brighton (see photo at end) <br />• Independent play and support features to keep kids from falling <br />• Traditional swings not important, would like to explore other options that <br />are fun and inclusive <br />• Create a destination playground <br />• An area for all people — ages & abilities <br />• Have a theme and have it more integrated with the landscaping <br />• As children grow up, the playground doesn't get "old" to them <br />K:\016969-OOOWdmin\Meeting\Steering Committee\Playground\016969_2020-1029_Kick-off Meeting Playground <br />Minutes.docx <br />
