Strengths:

• PURple Dinosaur • Connects to creek• greenbelt is really nice through the forested area, specifically

biking through the natural areas• Ample parking• diverse users• Preserve the art along the benches-like the wall, but it could be

improved on• girlscouts as stakeholders

WEAKNESSES:• Road edge, please work with road folk• Poor along road edge- needs more trees• Open grassy area rarely gets used• Play equipment and surfacing, grass growing in play area• Connection from mcray in park is “spooky”• Invasive plant material- prunus sp. • the area with wall and art is not a plaza that draws folks in, (could

we get an artist to come in and enhance area?)

1 Please keep the purple dinosaur - my kids love to feed him and pretend with him. Is there a way to incorporate the

creek more - it seems inaccessible and dirty right now. Even if it was just integrated enough so we could hear the

sound of water. And if there are musical toys (like at the library), definitely include rain sticks that sounds like water.

We love the ride-on bouncy toys. And we like having that sandy area to dig in. Slides and swings are keepers too.

Trees between the playground and parking lot would be great. Big grassy area on other side is nice. Keep tennis

courts too, and I love having art by the benches - that salmon mural.

3 If themed, should focus on Fish Creek and its importance as a waterway in the neighborhood - incorporate playground

equip that has education aspect. .

8 Some curres- that park needs some texture since it goes along the road and has a basketball court and tennis court.

needs something round and eye pleasing.
