SITE SPECIFIC PARK NEEDS
• Overall updates to the playground are
needed. The toddler playground needs to be
resurfaced.
• The wood floor in the recreation building is
worn out.
• Community members noted the grass areas
are well used by families and people working
from home, and that seniors and children
enjoy the walking paths and picnicking. They
also noted that the handball walls are well
used for practicing a variety of sports beyond
handball.
• Community members noted that the swings
are well used but that the park could use
more swings for bigger kids or teens.
