Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, August 12, 2013 <br /> Page 26 <br /> shade elements over other key areas where appropriate (e.g. grandparents waiting <br /> for children playing on equipment); and asked that those items be considered as <br /> well. <br /> Councilmember Willmus noted that this particular park is very open, and that al- <br /> lowed pick-up games in green spaces outside the field area. However, Coun- <br /> cilmember Willmus advised that the proposed pathway shown on the map cut di- <br /> rectly through that play area; and asked that consideration be given to moving it to <br /> the west or south boundary to avoid that. <br /> Councilmember Etten noted that there may be an elevation issue related to that <br /> proposed pathway location. <br /> Mr. Evenson noted that this had come up during the public engagement process; <br /> and was under review and consideration to determine function and use. <br /> Pocahontas Park <br /> Mr. Schroeder addressed proposed relocation of the access to address pedestrian <br /> safety issues and sight lines off Pascal, allowing for moving the pedestrian entry <br /> further from the crest of the hill or further to the south depending on the type and <br /> condition of some of the mature trees in that area. Mr. Schroeder reviewed this <br /> "jewel of a park," that remained an unknown in the community; and the im- <br /> portance of keeping its identity while expanding its use. Mr. Schroeder reviewed <br /> a proposed "retro" playground for this park by providing some examples and ele- <br /> ments not currently part of the play area and not currently connected to each oth- <br /> er. Mr. Schroeder suggested this may be part of the charm of this park by keeping <br /> the equipment safe yet separated, providing more diversity and identity for the <br /> park. <br /> Councilmember McGehee noted that none of the parks included anything like that <br /> of the Falcon Heights Park Course for adults and teenagers, and questioned if that <br /> adult diversity had been considered at all. Councilmember McGehee opined that <br /> the Falcon Heights adult exercise equipment got a lot of use. <br /> Mr. Evenson responded that, at this time, the engagement process was underway <br /> for Central Park, and with the significant portion of the budget for that park, it <br /> would be a prime location for adult exercise opportunities. <br /> At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Evenson advised that multiple <br /> uses for hard surfaces (e.g. hockey rinks used during the summer for roller blad- <br /> ing) were being considered wherever possible to leverage as many opportunities <br /> as were available. <br /> Willmus moved, Laliberte seconded, approval of the Preliminary Plans for Acorn <br /> Park, Central Park Foundation and FOR Parks Shelters, Central Park Lexington, <br />
