Other Concerns <br /> • 3 fields is not enough for a "complex" - think bigger <br /> • have land use /feasibility study done at Cal Young <br /> • Parking will inevitably limit the development plan. The neighborhood already sees effect <br /> of overflow parking. <br /> • Keep the drainage ditch (not bury it or switch to culverts). It is a valued wetland in our <br /> neighborhood. <br /> • Simply relocating the school with the same footprint will not serve the community 5 or <br /> 10 years from now. A larger school area footprint will obviously limit any land to <br /> dedicate to athletic fields. We advocate don't spend the $ at Cal Young unless the 4J <br /> school building plan is confirmed. <br /> • no lights <br /> • putting in too many things (maybe simplify program) <br /> • time limits <br /> • parking is biggest concern <br /> • split up facility - park, skatepark, small ball fields, soccer fields at Gilham - large fields at <br /> Cal Young. <br /> INDIVIDUAL COMMENT SHEETS <br /> Participants were asked to fill out comment sheets reflecting their own individual perspective. <br /> The comments are compiled below. <br /> 1. A youth sports park can benefit individuals, groups, and the community. What do you feel <br /> are the benefits of a park for youth? <br /> • too many to list <br /> • a place to be active, have fun, do things that are positive <br /> • provides a community meeting place <br /> • it would give the youth a place to play and spend time where they don't have to spend <br /> money, it's relatively safe and quite healthy <br /> • I think you should put a skateboard park here because there isn't anywhere to skate. I <br /> know that we're not allowed to skate at any 4J schools. I have a skatepark design for you <br /> but I don't know how much money or how much space. I don't want another skate park <br /> like Amazon. Call me at: [name and number given]. I would be willing to design the <br /> park for you or help! <br /> • I think we should get a skateboard park. If we got one I would want more than Amazon <br /> has Like, have half pipes, quarter pipes, pyramids and stuff like that Not just a bowl. If <br /> we got one, you should have telephones, drinking fountains or lights. [name and number <br /> given] <br /> Cal Young Youth Sports Park <br /> Introductory Meeting Page 4 <br />
