RecreationandParkCommission | 2019-09-12 | 75 | From: Yu-Yee Wu To: Amy Wooldridge Subject: Re: Jackson Park agenda item on Recreation and Parks Commission 9/12/19 Date: Thursday, September 5, 2019 11:19:20 PM CAUTION: This email message is coming from a non-City email address.

I ask that the Commission support options 1 or 3 to have an appropriate sized natural playground integrated into Jackson Park, ideally including a small swing structure. I believe that having a small playground for the growing number of families nearby is in line with and supportive of the population changes and growth in Alameda. A small playground will not totally change the character of the park, which spans two blocks, one block of which can stay as it is for those who don't want change to still enjoy if they don't want to be around kids. I don't see a small local playground becoming a destination point like the other bigger and fancier playgrounds, but will serve to be a delight and resource for families like mine who live nearby who would like to walk to the park with their kids and give them a playground where they can be more active. Because of its close proximity to all the restaurants and shops on Park St, it will also be a nicer place to walk to after spending time on Park St and would help kids get out more of their energy before going home. I ask that the Commission vote for a small playground in Jackson Park to support the growing number of families who live nearby now and in the future. Thank you!
