RecreationandParkCommission | 2019-09-12 | 50 | Lisa Klofkorn East End Zone I have lived in a house facing Jackson Park for twenty years. I do not normally have objections to adding playgrounds to existing parks, however. in regards to Jackson Park I have a few concerns. First, when this park underwent renovations in 2001, the proposed renovation included two phases. Phase one, including the restoration of the bandstand, was completed. It's my understanding that phase two, including much needed improvements to pathways, lighting, and such, was never done due to budgetary constraints. These improvements are still very much needed in this park. How can the expense of adding a playground be justified when much needed park improvements have not been implemented? Secondly, if a playground is added would a fence surrounding this playground be necessary due to safety concerns, because of the close proximity of Park Avenue on both the east and west sides of the park? If a fence is needed I have worries this may negatively impact the beauty and openness of the park. This park is very narrow by design and the space may not lend itself well to the addition of a fenced off area within its boundaries. 21 Mar Reply 6 Monique Lopez.
