Community Input Survey Cricket Field Location Options at Ken Mercer Sports Park Q7 Please provide any additional thoughts on this location. Ans:,;eied: 166 Skipped: 370 # RESPONSES 1 It will create additional traffic thru entire length of Ken Mercer and potential spillover traffic on to Parkside Dr. It would also incur additional city costs and safety concerns which I do not support. 2 No replacement of any fields at KM 3 This seems to be the best of the 3 Options. However, there is plenty of room to build new cricket fields at the Bernal Stanford Sports Park. 4 Same, the Bernal park site would be a much better site 5 Too close to houses. Noisy!!! 0 This field location should remain as it is since the new skatepark is going to take away the open space in the front section of the park next to Hopyard. The back field should be left "as is". Why can't Hard Ball D field be used instead since this location has been under utilized for years.

Again I would expect adult groups to 7/10/2022 12:17 PM play even if it is designated for youth use only, which brings the walkways and homes into play. This field is also used for a number of summer camps and vacation sports camps use that field during the anticipated cricket season. 8 It seems like you've already decided because there is only one adult option. 7/10/2022 10:26 AM 9 Softball field is better but PMS needs some help 7/10/2022 9:21 AM 10 Don't take out football field 7/10/2022 9:00 AM 11 I'm on the fence about this option. My concern with option 3 is that this field is the most 7/10/2022 8:33 AM popular field at Ken Mercer for non -organized community recreational use and organized youth camps. The proximity to the bathrooms and playground make it a draw for families all over town. The size of the cricket field takes up this entire space. If option 3 was only being used by youth cricket leagues for scheduled practices and a normal season -worth of matches, I wouldn't have a problem with this field, but once this is converted into a cricket field, I think that it will have far more frequent use by adults for daily pick-up play and it will be hard for the community to use the field for non -cricket purposes. I am also concerned that this option is too close to the sidewalks and to the homes, as it is likely to be used by adults even though it will be a youth field. The nice thing about option one is that because of the Pleasanton Canal, there's some space between the Birdland homes and the field. Option 3 doesn't have a buffer. 12 It would work but would prefer to utilize just one field for both adult and youth cricket 7/9/2022 11:33 PM 13 This is a great grass area for football and football seems to utilize it a lot. Secondly, it's a great 7/9/2022 5:56 PM grass area for kids to play at recreationally who are at the playground and basketball court -I think it's really important to have some great free green space. Third, LL5 and LL6 are heavily utilized for many levels of PLL as well as other baseball programs and when games are happening at those two fields (which is every Saturday and many weekdays in the spring) parking is already a huge issue -completely full. Adding cricket to the football field who cause an even greater issue in those back parking areas. 14 Would prefer this option for adult as opposed to youth pitch Prefer options at east end of park 7/9/2022 5:26 PM Note furthest from behind my house and already used as cricket pitch I note this area is used for this purpose already 15 1 dont want Cricket 7/9/2022 2:09 PM 16 too many people in this area during those months with Little League plus the new playground, 7/9/2022 12:51 PM plus walkers 19/37
