• 1 think this parking lot might have a more challenging flow - is it one way in and one way out? • So you are putting a parking lot in the corner where three new residences will be built across the street? What is the problem with leaving the park layout the way it is? • The paving for the parking lot. Could it be gravel to look more natural? Also, same issue with the bleachers. • Baseball fields oriented away from parking lot. More people will park on the road. • Parents will park as close as they can to a field of play. Need picnic area by playground so kids can eat and play. • Spectators are along the street Parking lot entrance off of Elm • The baseball field seems very close to the playground in this scenario. Also, the sidewalks/walking paths are only on the perimeter • Parking lot not centrally located but not a huge Deal. Feels like bathroom is furthest away from everything but again not a dealbreaker • Bathroom not near playground Parking on side streets • Location of restrooms. Need to be near play area Too many multi use ideas will be a mess with lines. Not clear where bikes go • Not my favorite spot for the restrooms, but doable. • The bathrooms are not close to the key activity areas. • Line more trees along Elm, Maple, and Hackberry. Add trees around the basketball court and along the west side of the parking lot, and the restroom. • No walking paths. • Again, I don't like the pond. Dangerous for little kids and can attract more mosquitoes • I'm concerned about the lack of space for spectators to sit near the field along Willow Drive. With how the fields are laid out, there doesn't seem to be enough room for families to comfortably watch games. The bathroom near Willow is also attracting a lot of unrelated drive -by traffic — people stop to use the bathroom or throw away trash. While it's a park, it's become busier than intended, and people often end up sitting or parking in ways that block access to walk along the road. Most importantly, there's a major safety issue with Willow Drive itself. The current speed limit, combined with the lack of a designated walking path, creates a serious hazard for pedestrians — especially families with children. A sidewalk or walking path is badly needed. The massive stormwater pond could help, but also takes up a lot of space -would need to learn more about this. Concept B: Additional feedback Open -Ended Response Thic is my first choice out of all of the plans. • Dislike. • Again, please refer to National Park and Recreation standards that state two t-ball fields with spectators need 4 acres of land. Hackberry is only 3.58 acres. There is too much there already re: amenities. • massive field size leaves no room for trees or shrubs. Leave the mature trees. • Same as Concept A: This park is unique in our area in that all homes surrounding the park look directly at the park. We love having a view of the green spaces and are a bit nervous about 15
