These outreach events included <br />the Farmer's Market event and Public Workshop <br />#2 in the park. Photos of these events along with <br />summaries of the input received were discussed. A <br />key points slide indicating overall plan preference <br />and preferred amenities to date was shown. <br />Finally, a discussion ensued in which each Council <br />member shared their thoughts and preferred <br />alternative. The Council consistently supported <br />Concept #I, the Rise Concept, due to its <br />whimsical, imaginative, colorful, and activity focused <br />design. They directed the design team to find an <br />alternative to the bird as the focal feature. They <br />also recommended adding more accessible parking, <br />ensuring as much shade as possible be included, <br />that existing tree canopies remain, plentiful seating <br />be provided, challenge and fitness courses be <br />integrated, quiet spaces be woven in, and all the <br />senses be engaged. A final comment from the <br />mayor encouraged the team to continue to pursue <br />creativity and imagination in the final design but <br />to also be cognizant of the budget and long-term <br />maintenance of the playground. <br />Community members and city staff discussing the concept plans at Community Workshop #2. <br />MASTER PLAN 37 <br />
