• Design to accommodate classes, programs, and community events • Allow for all wheels (skateboards, scooters, bikes, etc.) • Provide a variety of design features such as half-pipes, hips, box jumps, spines, waves, rails, stair gaps, a mega-ramp, bowls, etc. • Include a feature unique to this park such as a pyramid • Maximize the size of the skatepark while still making sure the design fit the site. Youth Commission The Commission's input was as follows: • The majority of the Commission felt that the proposed additional parking was necessary and that the City should provide as much parking as feasible without negatively impacting the healthy trees on site • Consider adding a small restroom at the skatepark since the softball field restrooms are often closed and the next closest restroom (at the proposed all abilities playground) is more than 1/8 of a mile away from the skatepark • Suggested potentially combining the two beginner areas into one larger area to help minimize potential beginner/advanced skater conflicts at the drop-in area • Include lighting for the skatepark and pathways to improve safety in the park. Community Workshop #2 More than two dozen people showed up at the workshop and the City received positive feedback from neighbors and skaters alike. Input included: • Neighbors felt the proposed focused skatepark lighting was appropriate • Overall support for expanding the skatepark • Mixed reviews on keeping or replacing the existing skatepark • Received dozens of specific comments regarding skatepark design features, including design bank to bank gaps, kidney bean, manual pads, etc. • Provide bathroom access, especially for skate camps • Provide shade • Provide areas where people can hang out and skaters can leave their stuff • Prefer concept 2 • Include something for everybody — beginners and experts alike. City Council • Overall support for the design and project • Include at least 20 additional parking stalls if not more • Include skatepark lighting, but work to limit impact to surrounding neighbors • Provide drinking fountains • Expressed concerns about the current lack of construction funds and asked about potentially phasing the project, particularly the bathroom • Include shaded areas and retain trees as feasible • Work with skaters on skatepark design-specific features • Prefer concept 2.
