Proview Comments
Prefer ADA path to start at top of stairsLook at safety zones for slides, climbing & porch swingsShow recently installed bleachers
Show recently installed bleachersElevated boxes may be tripping hazards
Look at multi-uses at tennis courtsShow recently installed bleachersMaintain storage for grounds crew and ball-fields
Play area pockets may be too small and could prevent free play movementsBuffer between parking and play is more important than between play and fieldsArtful fence needs to be compatible with ballfields (location and materiality)
Prevent parking in planting strip on 25thMore trees and planting on east slopeArtful band through lawn and planting is problematicLogs & boulders instead of nature play
