1) Does your family use area pa.r~? If so. which parks? Which park aclivitJes does your fmnit), pardcipme in? <br /> <br />Qnce we went to Tttterude Park to use the children's piay equipment. Because of the hDl~fl tb dl'i~lL w0 . <br />just haven't used area parks as much as we'd like. Also, It's difficult to bike to neighborhood parks from <br />our development. Consequently, we Installed swings tn our yard, and bike within the development (have <br />to avoid Highway 47 - it's a deathtrap!). <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />Does your family include children? 'C/hal are Iheir ages? <br />We have two children - ages 4 and 2. <br /> <br />~) <br /> <br />What {ypes of park facilities would best serve >,our family? How do you anticipate the Fox Ridge Neighborhood Park will be <br />used by >,our family.'? <br /> <br />The primary benefit of a neighborhood park to our family would be to have equipment that the children <br />can play on (slides, swings, jungle gym, etc.), and areas for walking, biking and rolterbtading. I also <br />think a picnic area where the kids could bring a picnic lunch and go to the park would be great! <br /> <br />4) <br /> <br />I have listed some of the potential ideas for developing the pm'k. Please indicate which faciiities mostfle~st interesl you, <br /> <br />A) Children's play equipmenL YES! This is an absolute priorityt <br /> 1) swings. Yes. <br /> 2) jungle gym complex. A mush <br /> 3) siide. A must! <br /> 4) s~ndbox. A must! <br /> 5) cement tunnel. This would be fun[ <br /> 6) others (plea.se specify) Anything the budget allows!![ <br /> <br />B) <br /> <br />c) <br /> <br />D) <br /> <br />E) <br /> <br />o) <br /> <br />Outdoor exercise circuit. Not for our tamiiy. <br /> <br />M~rsh boardwalk and wildlife viewing facilities YES! YES[ <br /> <br />Naturalist interpretive information/signs/. Yes, eventually.. <br />the marsh! " <br /> <br />Picnic shcker and/orpicnic tables. YES! <br /> <br />Horseshoes. Not a priority for us. <br /> <br />Canoe Access Point. <br />immediate priority. <br /> <br />YES! Love this ideal is itpossibte????!!! <br />But first let's get the boardwalk through <br /> <br />I don't think this is possible. But if it is, it would be nice, but not an <br /> <br />Vo!ieyball Court. Not ~or my fatuity. <br /> <br />Others (pier, se specify). Grill? Bike racks? As much open space as possible. Landscape <br />improvement? Its a bit sparse - could use a shade tree or two. <br /> <br />5) <br /> <br />~qaat, in your opinion, should the focus of this park be? <br /> <br />Focus on families with young children and take advantage of the natural marsh. Emphasis should be <br />placed on the preservation of the marsh and its quiet beauty. It's a wonderful place to visit - it's filled <br />with life! Lots of turtles, birds and bugs! Also, from my observations, lots of the neighbors walk, bike, <br />stroll with their infants, and rollerblade,.so some sort of path that would allow for these activities to <br />gravitate toward the park tot maximum use would be a nice'feature. <br /> <br />6) <br /> <br />Adrlidonal comments and/or suggestions?. <br /> <br />Thank you for the opportunity to express our thoughts and opinions. My husband andlappreciate <br />having a voice in your planning! l look forward to seeing a neighborhood park in the future! <br /> <br /> <br />
