We have over 80 new children in our development and 3/4 of those kids are not of school age. I would love to see at Royal Hills Park, a larger playground and large sandbox with diggers. It would also be nice to have more swings. I also feel the basketball hoops need to be updated. They are pretty bent. Some retractable square glass backboards would be nice. Royal Hills Park is a nice space, but the playground equipment is pretty minimal compared to other parks. There are over 50 kids under the age of 5 in the neighborhood, and it would be great to upgrade that playground equipment for them (and the older kids in the neighborhood as well!). My 2 year old is not excited about that park anymore, and we've started biking or driving to Cummings. Let's upgrade Royal Hills, I know the neighbors would use it and take excellent care of it!!!! There are 39 new homes just built by Royal Hills (Fox Ridge) with approx 80 small children who use Royal Hills regularly. We would love to see additional, upgraded playground equipment here.Thank you. Need a bigger playset for the Fox Ridge community which has over 90 children that will utilize this park and there is insufficient play area for this growing community. We would be grateful if the park equipment was upgraded at Royal Hills Park to add more swings. Royal Hills needs trails/sidewalk from 96th to Royal Hills Park so people/children with disabilities can't enjoy the parks. My husband and I would love to see a splash pad put in near our home. There are 60 plus more young children in our new neighborhood of Fox Ridge and I think the utility of it would be great. Thanks for considering Sampson Valentine Love the new Valentine Park. Thanks and great job!! Love that the park is finished and it looks great. The new Valentine Park is being used all the time. Great to see! Young families with children seem to visit the new park. My children are now high school age -nothing now to draw them to park. We have a basketball hoop at home and they play hockey. It would have been nice to have a well maintained ice rink for skating nearby. The Valentine playground is packed. I'm 25,swing sets aren't my thing anymore. I don't like the new drainage pond thing by old Hwy 10 and Lake Valentine Road.-it's ugly. If you really wantto improve that area put a run/walk/jog/bike path along the lake side of Old Hwy 10. People constantly run in my lane of traffic over there and not in appropriate reflective materials, often at dusk or night time. If you could leave all of the forest in the process though because that is part of the charm of this area. We like it dark without many street lights and woodsy. I love the new Valentine Park, I would rate it as excellent,but the other parks lower my general rating a bit. I walk through Valentine Park occasionally on my walks but it is not a destination. Wish the new Valentine Park had a little more running/open space for kids to play. Love the new bike/walking path down to Valentine Hills Park. Would be nice also to have a bike path by 96 and Old 10 when highways/streets are completed. Valentine Park looks great. Generic Comments Visit Tony Schmidt regularly and also the baseball field part right outside of Tony Schmidt Our neighborhood (Siems Court/Ridgewood Road area) does not have a neighborhood park even though, through property taxes, we support the other neighborhood parks Visit Tony Schmidt Regional Park/path system as well. Primarily use Tony Schmidt Park. Parks are well maintained –trash containers very nice and always emptied on time. We need more ballfields and the ones we have need to be upgraded. If the fields are under utilized it is because they aren’t very nice. Better playgrounds for the kids. Better upkeep of fields. When going past, rarely see anything being used. It would be nice to maintain the grass cutting and have trash containers available. [3]
