Funding is now available through the 1998 Parks and Open Space <br /> bond measure to make improvements to the park located on Brewer Avenue, a few blocks west of Cal <br /> Young Road. The 1.9 acne park currently includes a children's play area, hard-surface paths, a horseshoe <br /> court, lawn areas, trees and shrubs. The workshop will be held at the Sheldon Community Center, 2445 <br /> Willakenzie Road. <br /> Neighborhood parks, which serve residents within about 1/2 mile (10 minute) walking distance, <br /> include the following: a children's play area, accessible pathways, park furniture such as benches, picnic <br /> tables, trash receptacles, and open space for recreation and relaxation. They typically do not include the <br /> following: restrooms, off-street parking, programmed athletics, skateparks, dog off-leash areas, and other <br /> facilities that attract visitors from a distance greater than the park's service area. <br /> Following the first workshop, a draft concept design will be created, and residents will have an <br /> opportunity to review and discuss the plan at a second public workshop. For more information or to give <br /> input, contact park planner Robin Hostick at 682.4915 or robin.a.hostidc~ei.euaene.or.us or visit the park's <br /> webpage at http://www.ci.eugene.or.us/PARKS/brewer/index.htm. <br /> `J <br /> <br />
