RecreationandParkCommission | 2021-04-08 | 3 | Is the Commission's input editing the policy? ARPD Director Wooldridge: No, discussing high level concepts tonight. Vice Chair Robbins: The idea that the Commissions and Council have to go through the ongoing naming process seems like it is takes a lot of staff's time and wonders if names options could be updated yearly by creating a Master List. Chair Alexander: Believes the City Council should decide what parks, etc. should be changed and let the various Commissions know as the Commissions are not elected officials and the City Council are elected officials. Concerns about naming after a person as it can get into an issue down the road. 6-B Receive status Update and Provide Direction on the Chochenyo Park Play Area ARPD Director Wooldridge gave presentation which included the background, playground design by Tyler Velten, the Medicine Wheel Landing design and the signage giving the history of the park by artist Ryan LaRonde. Ryan LaRonde commented that the Medicine Wheel fulfills an educational component about the Native American group. 6-B Public Comments Speaker Gary Cook: Excited about play area at Chochenyo, likes the Medicine Wheel but the playground structure is his first choice. Speaker Meredith Hoskin: Likes the Medicine Wheel but her preference is the natural playground. Speaker Jim Manning: Likes the Medicine Wheel and train in the play area and thinks they should choose one or other as the train should not go inside the Medicine Wheel. Speaker Rasheed Shabaaz: Encouraged to create something that recognizes safety for the children and healing in the Park. Speaker Joanne Robinson: Likes the Medicine Wheel where children can play games and activities with spinning acorns and sticks and teach native American skills including weaving. Speaker Amy: Support the playground with trains, thinks it fits in with the aesthetics of the park. Speaker Grace Rubinstein: Loves all the designs, concerned about the volume of traffic on Encinal and would suggest the South end for a playground for safety. It would be great to combine the playground and the Medicine Wheel respectfully for a gathering place. Additional Written Public Comments: See Exhibit 2 6-B MOTION Commissioners discussed and made a motion: Commissioner Navarro motion to examine Medicine Wheel concept in tandem with a landscaped play space to fulfill the desire for an area at Chochenyo Park.
