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