With respect to trail distances, he stated that there is a mapping tool but the issue with mapping trails is that a trail can go further than the specific park or there are different trail loops possible, and therefore it is difficult to provide accurate distance mapping. He stated that he can provide the resident with the online mapping tool that can be used. He stated that he is working with a resident that would like to donate a bench to Elmcrest and asked for a location suggestion. The resident provided a location suggestion. She noted that staff can choose the best spot for people to sit and enjoy the beauty of the park. Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Mark Riverblood stated that he will look into the trash can suggestion for Rivers Bend but noted that there have been instances of vandalism with the cans and that is why they are strategic with the locations. He also thanked the resident for the positive comment about parks staff. Glen Semenko, 6311 169th Lane, referenced the Central Park tennis courts and pickleball courts and thanked the Commission for those improvements. He stated that within one week of the project completion he noticed cracks on the surface of every court. He stated that the court closest to Armstrong has become very uneven. He stated that the courts get a lot of use. Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Mark Riverblood stated that he has been in communication with the contractor that completed the work in attempt to have those cracks sealed prior to winter. He noted that cracks in asphalt will always come through and that is why scoring is done in attempt to have some control. 3.
