Acorn Park <br />Implementation Planning Session One <br />30 May 2013 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />houses, bat houses, improve habitat; open picnic areas away from crowded <br />areas; lights focused on courts, not flooding into houses (at night, especially). <br /> Path into wood (off set) with benches; 10 foot wide trails; more and <br />permanent bathrooms; move basketball court in park; monitor trails for low <br />areas that flood and raise them or install culverts; kill dandelions. <br /> Move basketball court; improve basketball courts; make sure rims are even on <br />at least one of the courts. <br /> Permanent access to bathrooms; more picnic benches; more police/park <br />ranger patrols. <br /> Keep the park land clean <br /> <br />Playground improvements <br /> Allow kids to grow with park; ages 8-12 much like Central Park near Legion <br />ballfield. <br /> Perhaps a bench swing adults can use while supervising kids (like the ones in <br />Materion Park); better focused lights; I don’t want the playground, as another <br />put it, throughout the park—I like the peacefulness of the park. <br /> Smaller playgrounds scattered throughout the park; combine with gardens and <br />natural settings; keep as natural as possible. <br /> Larger playground and activities for older children; separated from other <br />busier areas (and parking lot); room to run; levels for climbing. <br /> Put all facilities at the same level (no terrace); low maintenance equipment <br />that can be used during all four seasons. <br /> More rubber edges (padding); less heig ht to equipment (reduce falling/injury). <br /> Better maintained equipment <br /> Climbing wall; obstacle course; [the response sheet included a drawing of a <br />play component where you would “hang on and you would spin; it is made at <br />an angle so it will spin; steps so you can grab on.” <br />Disc golf improvements <br /> I like the idea of closing the course for a year, changing it to a nine hole, and <br />perhaps separating course traffic from trail traffic; but… I am in favor of <br />keeping it free to all. <br /> Signs at each hole; course map (with web address of where they can download <br />it); better line of site so golfers can see trail users and vice versa). <br /> Signage/maps (throughout); tee pads/tee areas (all need it); erosion control— <br />hills, high traffic areas; new trees/obstacles; new bridges/steps; path <br />throughout course; second tees are unusable; holes off path (2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 12, <br />14, 15, 18). <br /> Maintain the course! Redesign to nine holes; enforce park rules. <br /> Off trails; out of way. <br /> Move all tees and waiting areas off trail; do not start any pay for activities <br />(parks are to be free to use). <br /> Tee pads (wider/longer); lights throughout the park; recycling/trash cans <br />accessible throughout the course; if concerns about path space is significant <br />enough then make it a 12-hole course; maintain the course. <br /> All tee pads replaced; any substandard targets replaced; erosion control;
