Floral Park Improvements Online Survey Results Cummings and they are very disappointed in the new park because their 7 year old get bored and there is only 2 swings. So I am hoping Floral gets a better update. Floral doesn't have to be fancy - their is fun and beauty in simplicity. e. Zip line Tire swing f. Ninja warrior Tire swing g. Something for all ages. There currently isn't a climber or slide for toddler age kids. h. The current equipment is so tall it requires very close adult help for our toddler/preschooler age kids, thus we usually choose parks farther away for safety. I think we would play there a lot more with more modern equipment. We always love seeing inclusive and accessible playground setups! Paying attention to entrances and curb cuts to get up and into the playground area for wheelchair accessible space -also beneficial for strollers! Would love to see equipment that appeals to a variety of ages as we hope to use it over the years! i. Climbing walls, splash pad j. Trail work out stations k. I have pre -teen children. They dislike the new playsets at Cummings Park because it "baby-fied" the playground. My older son would like swings he can jump off of. I. Bars to swing on m. There are a few big trees hanging over the play areas and path that are dead. We have concerns about branches falling down and causing injuries. n. Just more benches. No more playground equipment. Fix the tennis court, softball field. Do not put in a pickleball court. Cut the dead trees down. o. Unique swings that are accessible for all - some swings have the option for the parent to face the child. Small rock climbing structure. p. Improved ground cover under play structure q. Fresh wood chips would be a good start. The park looked the worst it has looked this past summer and we've lived in walking distance with 2 kids and dogs for the past 10 years so we are in the park nearly daily. r. Hello, The current slide and playground is cracking and falling apart in certain spots. This is really un safe for the kids the and can cause injuries. Floral park has a great natural environment feel with lot of trees and flowers. One thing I did notice while using the park is that it seems to take a long time to dry after it rains. This can make the playground muddy and slippery which is dangerous. Also, the old school wood chips for soft landing isn't a good option anymore. The kids get splinters sometimes when the chips get into their shoes. Rubber turf would be much better option. s. Zip line t. Winter off -leash dog park u. Something for older kids. Skate ramp? v. We love Floral Park! There needs to be a sidewalk from the tennis courts to the playground area. Currently it is cumbersome to get from one to the other.... You either walking on a dirt path through the trees or going down to the street and fighting traffic on Royal Lane (which is too fast and approaches at a blind right angle). It is especially bad for bikes or strollers that cannot use the entrance steps. The main play equipment is nice, though the triple slide is awful and our young kids (3-7yrs) avoid it because it hurts them to go over the bumps and wiggles. A plain slide (either straight or corkscrew) would be much more appreciated! The location of the port -a -potty is on a hill. It's so nice having a toilet nearby, but I wish it could be on better grading as it always sits at an angle which makes it difficult for littles to use. I'd suggest a cement pad beneath it or relocating somewhere nearby to flat ground. w. Chess/checkers table like triangle park. Dual swing for child/adult like perry park 5
