The City advertised for Community Workshop #2 to all neighbors within five -hundred feet of Ken Mercer Sports Park, posted the meeting on the City's website, on the project website (www. leasantonallabilities is round.com), on NextDoor, Facebook and posted posters for the meeting in city facilities. The concept designs, community input and in -progress community -wide survey #2 results were all presented to the City Council on October 5, 2021. The input received at the various meetings and event included: Parks and Recreation Commission • Most appreciated concept #1; however, they were concerned about the custom nature of the main bird sculpture and its durability and playability • Would like more accessible parking included • Liked the event stage and picnic shelter ideas in concept #2 • Loved the fitness equipment in addition to the park • Would like a variety of seating elements included • Liked the addition of sensory elements, swings, and the challenge course. Human Services Commission • Appreciated that the designs sparked imagination • Liked that the designs were interchangeable • Loved that the designs were utilizing the existing landscape and appreciated that the existing tree canopy will offer shade • Tended to favor concept #2 slightly • Appreciated the all -ages approach to design ■ Would like to see a double swing included and to ensure that the quiet areas are as quiet as possible • Liked the inclusion of generational games • Wanted more disabled parking spaces included in proximity • Overall, did not feel enough additional parking spaces were added. Youth Commission The commission liked both designs, but the majority preferred concept #1 for the following reasons: appears to have more play options than concept #2, is well planned out, has good flow, is sectioned -off well, is more eye-catching and vibrant, and the commission thinks it will be more enjoyable for children. They also felt that concept #1 could and should still reflect the character of Pleasanton. • Keep the horizontal pine tree and incorporate it into the design • Preserve as many of the healthy trees as possible.
