RecreationandParkCommission | 2012-11-08 | 3 | Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes - November 8, 2012 Page 3 Ms. Freeman - A more passive area rather than an active area such as athletic fields. She wanted to add that the neighbors are concerned with noise, and they have ideas for planting native California plants. B. Commission Community Involvement (Discussion) Director Wooldridge - A reminder requesting Commissioners to send her an email describing their strengths and interests they bring to the Commission and any particular project interests. She reminded them nametags should be here soon. Brief discussion about how this is a unique community where everyone is only a 10 minute walk to a park and that ARPD still operates a free Parks & Playgrounds program in which kids can access free activities in the parks - this type of program is now very uncommon in other cities due to finances, but is a wonderful community amenity. 7.
