I can’t tell where the permanent slacklines or electrical outlets for the “Bike Dance Party” guy go. I assume the little square is a commercial kitchen for weed-based baked goods.

Not sure why we would be choosing services based on what kids like…

The depressed square will be a gated yard at the entrance to the operations building which will be situated underneath the basketball court.

And the one by the playground is built into the hill! Best idea of the whole plan.

Is that a demolition shopping cart rink? It sure looks like a cart in the white ring… I’ve seen that sport before. Redneck soccer works fine on concrete — soak toilet paper in flammable liquids, ignite, kick. Much safer than on grass.

Cancel that, restrooms on both sides of the park. Bravo!

So you spend all this money to puy in what will be an amazing and much-used playground, and then move the bathrooms twice as far away. Bad idea.

not sure why they can’t put in a skatepark, or soccer field, or some other thing kids like… instead of a tennis court, which is for adults

Concrete over packed fill is about as maintenance friendly as you can get.

Regarding that depressed square cutout space between the tennis courts. Impromptu pissoir?

The ‘Truffle Guy” should have an office there.

Honestly I wish they had the guts to remove a tennis court instead of replacing some valuable pick-up soccer green space with concrete.

A tennis court serves 2/4 people max (or eight polo bikes once a week).

A soccer space or soccer cage serves many more at once, and bridges class divides.

Sorry to kvetch. Hooray for progress and all, just wish scarce funds went into maintenance rather than new “capital constructions.”
