RecreationandParkCommission | 2019-09-12 | 49 | Nextdoor Jackson Park Playground Survey March 2019 Examples of comments posted to this survey that were in oppositon to having a playground built in Jackson Park. " Monica LeMaster East End Zone I'm very fond of the gorgeous trees and open green space, so I am against losing any of the trees(-ever if they're not intentionally cut, could their roots get unintentionally damaged through construction?). I personally don't think of the park as underutilized, as I've found things to do with my kids there for the last 12 years. Though in those 12 years, I've also wished for a playground from time to time, especially when I have toddler in the house: I've learned to just bring a ball and enjoy the space as is though-building - fairy houses with the sticks is another favorite activity. I'm open to hearing more about the idea though. I know there are a lot of families with young children in this neighborhood, some new and some old, and I would love to meet them at a local, public playground. Edited 22 Mar Thank Reply 6 Terri Ogden, East End Zone T I am a devoted supporter of recreation in Alameda, having worked at the parks and serving on the recreation commission. That being said, I am very much devoted to free play instead of always structuring children's play time. My aunt used to live on Park Avenue and I can remember having some awesome fun running around the park with my cousins playing for hours without the need for playground equipment. There is a lot to be said for the imagination. 22 Mar Thank Reply 4 Mimi Laubach Whale's Eye I like Jackson Park as it is. I think ARPD could do more with the park- maybe Sunday afternoon concerts in the bandstand, upgrade the pathways and add flower beds in areas. Most of our city parks have play structures already and we have few "green" parks where we can enjoy simple nature in Alameda. 28 Mar Thank Reply : 3 | RecreationandParkCommission/2019-09-12.pdf |
