Parking lot looks like it may be tight to navigate during peak game times. <br /> The way the fields are angled, the size and entrance of the parking lot. <br /> The south ballfield has the balls hitting out towards Willow. Both the entrance and the exit <br />to the parking lot are on Willow. Seems to be a smaller parking lot. <br /> It would be nice to have another multi-use field. <br /> Only one multi use field <br /> Mixed use. Have dedicated space <br /> Not enough field space. <br /> Not maximizing space <br /> Too busy <br /> Way too “busy” of a design. Trying to pack too much into too little space. <br /> Little busy <br /> not enough trees <br /> Balls hit towards Willow Parents will park on Hackberry in the “west” field as they park <br />closest to a field of play vs a parking lot. Don’t like an opened water. Need blanket room <br />and “relax” area. <br /> I don’t like the baseball field situated that way, seems like foul balls could be an issue <br /> Hitting balls toward a busy street and catch pond is not safe. Carving up the park like this <br />for parking hardcover is wasting green space for citizens. This is not what the citizens asked <br />for. <br /> The ball fields backing up against each other <br /> Very baseball/softball focus. Limited options for multi use fields <br /> Stray balls close to parking on all sides. Limited multi use Cannot use multi and ball field <br />at the same time <br /> I don't love that the baseball field gets moved closer to the playground <br /> Baseball field facing Willow will need an outfield fence high enough to stop balls from <br />Willow traffic. <br /> The baseball field next to Hackberry Hill will block the view of the park for some neighbors. <br />The bleachers are not necessary. People use blankets and chairs to view activities, placing <br />them where they choose. And the restrooms/shelter is too close to neighbors' homes and <br />there is a concern about late night gatherings after hours (teens). It looks like the fencing <br />for the south field will block some of the sledding hills too. <br /> Nervous about how the gradient will need to change on the north half of the park for a flat <br />baseball field <br /> Storm water pond worries me as a parent- I don’t want any body of water for my littles to <br />fall into. Also, bugs are already bad at Hackberry……. Standing water would worsen that <br />situation. <br /> Storm run off. It’s going to lead to lots of misquotes there. <br /> Two baseball fields are essential. The OBO 4–6-year-old program has grown over 20%, and <br />there are now very limited field options — sometimes even requiring games to be held in <br />neighboring cities. That shouldn't be happening. The parking lot is critical. There have <br />been way too many close calls involving young kids, dogs, and older parents parking along <br />Willow, combined with fast drivers. It doesn’t feel safe for families visiting for sports or <br />events. People are often distracted or not paying attention. I fully support the playground <br />and basketball court. However, the current hoop is not adjustable, which makes it tough <br />for kids under 10 to use. I even contacted the company — it's a fixed, non-lowering hoop. <br />Trees for shade around the fields are also a must — not just for comfort but for safety <br />11
