Went to Tillman Park and enjoyed the park as there was fewer people. Encouraged public to check out the smaller and lesser used parks for easier social distancing. Vice Chair Robbins: Went by Washington Park at 8:00am and was concerned that two different groups of twenty were on basketball courts doing exercise classes, while people who were there to play basketball had to wait. Question: Is there a permit process? Answer: Yes, ARPD has a permit for fitness classes and it's challenging to enforce. If people are unable to use the courts then they can call the ARPD office or Park Monitor phone line. Chair Alexander: Put signs all around parks for the Rename Jackson Park effort to solicit name ideas for the parks while Vice Chair Robbins put signs up along Webster Street. Did outreach to many organizations and on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Also commented it was good to see kids back on the swings and at the ball field again and noted the Pickleball Courts are full. Observed the RAP program and said the staff was doing a great job. Chair Limoges: Visited Portola Triangle Park and didn't realize it was under ARPD.
