Concept A: What do you like about the design? Open -Ended Response • Not the one in like • Not much. • Zippo • Nothing • Nothing. It is way too overbuilt according to national park and recreation standards. • Simple and easy. Parking off of willow is great. • Seems the most balanced of the 3 options • Parking access on willow • Parking • parking isn't splitting it down the middle • Some parking • 1 like the parking • Parking. Lots of use of entire area. • Parking lot to keep parking off of Willow to avoid children or pets running in front of passing cars. Avoids cars backing out onto Willow. North ballfield location. • Parking entrance off Willow Easy access to all fields from parking Two ball fields and multi- purpose field Bathroom near playground • Parking lot is easy to get in and out of, maintain sledding hill, storm water pond with native plants! • Parking and keeping the play ground. I like that the sports fields maximize space but I think you could fit a youth soccer field that overlaps with the baseball field as they would be opposite seasons. • Two Baseball Fields is very important; the OBO 4-6 years has grown over 20% leaving only a few field options and sometimes going offsite to different neighbor city. This should not be the case. Parking lot is critical. Way to many close calls with young kids, dogs and older parents parking off willow and fast drivers. No one feels safe visiting for sports, etc. People are not always paying attention. Yes to the playground/baskball court. Although the hoop is not adjustable making it hard for anyone under the age of 10 to play. I even called the company - it's stationary. The tress to block the fields for shade. The bathroom designated area is essential and I like it removed from Willow WAY to many cars stopping by to use it and the trash. If it's tucked , maybe less of this. • Keeps both baseball fields • large fields • 1 like that you get a lot of the things you are looking for -park, baseball, soccer, sledding, parking • seems to maximize efficiency of various uses, parking doesn't consume plan like Concept C • Two ball fields is critical. Open mixed use field is good, but basically same size as current field. • Both baseball fields are oriented for the bleachers to be close to parking lot. Encouraging people to use parking lot more than the road. • 1 like the two baseball fields and the storm water pond addressing an area of drainage concern. • Keeps 2 baseball fields! 14
