SUMMARY OF LAST MEETING - WHAT WE HEARD• Plan for more than just the south play area - i.e. “masterplan”
• Address safety and personal comfort
• Make the park and play areas serve all age groups (young, teens, adults)
• Preserve the amphitheater - but reduce undesirable activity
• Distribute activity areas to encourage use of the whole park
• Make play areas complement each other
• Integrate nature play/adventure based elements to augment traditional play areas
• Increase seating for parents

ADDRESS SAFETY AND PERSONAL COMFORT Use CPTED PrinciplesCrime Prevention Through Environmental Design
“The proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear of crime and incidence of crime, and to an improvement in quality of life.”Refuge and Prospect – Provide sense of protection and visual access
Surveillance – Allow for the natural surveillance by public (i.e. no hiding places)
Maintenance – Promote a positive message that the park is well cared for
Access control – Create a sense of risk for criminals and safe egress for others
