He stated that it would be nice to have a path to the main road <br /> without going into the cul-de-sac. He noted that his kids would like to see a gaga pit in the park. <br /> He commented that they home school their children, so they get a lot of use out of the park. <br /> Brian Nagel, 6940 148th Lane, commented that he has three young children that use the park a lot <br /> and have seen it deteriorate. He stated that he is happy to see that they are looking to replace <br /> equipment and is also happy to see consideration of used equipment. He asked that they consider <br /> long-term plans and noted that more shade would be nice whether that is provided by a shade sail <br /> or trees. He recognized that costs savings would be gained by purchasing used playground <br /> equipment and hoped that additional options could be considered for improvement of the park.
