• Lots of field options • Again storm water pond addresses long standing drainage issues. Two baseball fields that look appropriate for 10u players. There is a strong need for this type of field space. • This seems to be the design that is the least disruptive to the park's current design IF the field at the corner of Elm and Hackberry could be turned so home plate is next to the parking lot area. The neighbors that attended the open house agree with that as well. Also having the restrooms on Willow will be more convenient for utility workers and locals who use the current Biffy on a regular basis. • The large green space is maintained. The large pond at the entrance along Willow, the trees lining Willow. The ball infield locations on opposite ends will provide space for spectators without feeling cramped. The parking lot looks easy to enter and exit during busy peak game times. Playground and basketball is away from parking lot and moving vehicles. • Extra shade • The line of trees along the main road, the ability to fit more fields • Storm water drainage Concept B: What do you dislike about the design? Open -Ended Response Nothing • Nothing nir l +hat mi irh RAct r1ocian nut of the 3 by a landslide. • The whole layout is no goid • Too busy • Seems complicated • To congested • Feels super busy. I don't like the water right behind where parents would likely sit and constantly have to be keeping an eye on younger children -better when the water is in the outfield. Also balls would be coming towards the playground area then too. • The field design appears confusing and is not a good layout • Doesn't flow well and, again, trying to pack too much into too little space. • Ball fields and multi use can't be used at the same time • Soccer field seems a bit strange being diagonal • Appears unrealistic given the slope. It's a lot of fill or retaining wall to make those center fields playable. • Seems harder to schedule multiple events, but I'm not sure how the seasons align so that may not be an issue. • Why take away both ball fields for soccer? Soccer and baseball can happen simultaneously in option A • 1 think the mixed use field space is going to be challenging to realize with the existing grade. There will likely need to be retaining walls adding cost. • Massive amount of grading cut/fill will be required. SE dugout will encourage kids messing with the pond. • parking is taking up too much green space • Parking spaces are not a good idea. Keep our green spaces and find a better solution. • Parking looks to be safer, large fields with plenty of room. • Parking is off to one side. 14
