NEW BUSINESS – 5B <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: Aug. 15, 2023 <br /> <br />TO: Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee <br /> <br />FROM: Kerri Seemann <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Outdoor Classroom <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />I mentioned in April that there is a clearing in the current restoration area of Hazelnut Park that I <br />think would make a good space for an outdoor classroom. There are two things that I think <br />would make it functional: <br />● something along the lines of a “Little Free Library,” but with a collection of educational <br />books and magazines for park visitors (mostly youth), including some field guides; <br />● seating, such as a few wooden benches <br /> <br />Questions: <br />● Are there groups or individuals who would be interested in constructing these items? If <br />so, how do we find them? <br />● I have a pile of science books that my daughter has outgrown, as well as some magazine <br />subscriptions. If there was a little library, who would need to approve the content? The <br />council? A PTRC subcommittee? The Recreation Supervisor? <br />● Can the chain that is hanging at the north end of Prior Ave be removed to allow easier <br />pedestrian access, particularly for strollers? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
