Memo -- Scobert Park Advisory Committee <br /> Page 2 <br /> October 29, 1996 <br /> As you explore these goals, you will find both opportunities and challenges. Areas that are <br /> appropriate for committee review include: desired park usage (e.g., passive recreation vs active <br /> recreational activities); park lighting levels; park hours; types and levels of landscaping; <br /> appropriate levels of thinning for the existing landscaping; recreational strategies for increased <br /> park use by the general community; and community policing strategies to increase safety in the <br /> park for the public. Committee challenges may include reconciling options for new park uses <br /> with the historic character of the park and finding strategies that appeal to the broad range of <br /> people who use and care for the park. In general, the committee is encouraged to discuss the <br /> future of this park and make recommendations with an emphasis on short-term strategies that can <br /> reasonably be implemented by the City. <br /> Thank you again for your willingness to participate in this important community effort. We will <br /> assist you in every way possible, and we look forward to receiving your recommendations. <br />
