Community Input Survey Cricket Field Location Options at Ken Mercer Sports Park <br />25/37 <br />If every one of them to do like this- meaning through official to claim that right, where is other <br />residents right there? <br />131 <br />1 don't want to build additional cricket field. We won't have enough regular walk and dog walk <br />6/26/2022 11:52 AM <br />space. <br />132 <br />Same reason as before. Mercer has many seniors and small children around. More traffic is <br />6/26/2022 11:52 AM <br />not safe for them. This park should be used more for family events <br />133 <br />This is only football field in the park. There are couple of football groups under 10 age play <br />6/26/2022 11:45 AM <br />football in weekend. As a parent, I strongly suggest keeping this field as football fields so that <br />many kids can benefit from football sports. <br />134 <br />It is too close to residential area. Too much negative effects. The cricket field should be built <br />6/26/2022.11:30 AM <br />in newer parks. <br />135 <br />It endangers the kids playground and houses in the neighborhood. <br />6/26/2022 10:38 AM <br />136 <br />Absolutely no. This is a such heavy residential area with a lot of kids playing and houses <br />6/26/2022 10:35 AM <br />nearby. Not safe at all to construct cricket field here. <br />137 <br />This seems to be the best way to introduce cricket to the sports park without causing <br />6/26/2022 9:58 AM <br />disruptions to current sports that have enjoyed the use of the other two fields <br />138 <br />This park already has enough sports and lack of parking that flows into the neighbor and <br />6/26/2022 8:37 AM <br />causes illegal parking in red zones and otherwise it's a one way in neighborhood and the <br />streets are already littered after games and traffic is increased in neighborhood because people <br />Think they can get to the end of the park by driving down parkside <br />139 <br />Do not put the cricket field here, please. <br />6/25/2022 12:08 PM <br />140 <br />This field is a better option because no sports field will be taken away. Will the netting be an <br />6/25/2022 10:46 AM <br />issue for surrounding residents? Homes along the back of the park like their view and don't <br />want obstructions. Will the netting be seasonal or set up only on game days? <br />141 <br />Youth only. Need adult option <br />6/24/2022 5:25 PM <br />142 <br />CONS This is the most dangerous and congested option! 1. This end of the park has current <br />6/24/2022 9:26 AM <br />dedicated space for an updated playground, two football fields, basketball, volleyball, soccer <br />and rugby fields. This end of the park has become quite congested over the past few years <br />and passers-by are at risk of balls being hit as siblings play in the grassy area beyond the <br />playground, basketball and volleyball areas. 2. The fields are already dedicated for football, <br />soccer tournaments, rugby tournaments, and spring/summer children's soccer that so far have <br />been played during April, May and June. 3. Given the 180 blue line radius, you are within 10 <br />feet of the walk way used by children from the playground and basket ball courts and parents <br />to access the bathrooms and picnic areas. Park benches are within this 10 foot radius. This is <br />a safety hazard for the Picnic areas and the access to the bathrooms. 4. The 180 radius in this <br />option is the closest of all options to neighboring homes and walkways. The safety netting <br />would not be a viable option. One neighboring home has already received 6-8 cricket balls in <br />their yard from leagues playing cricket on field HB"D". 5. This will be a Youth only field. <br />Currently an adult men's group has been playing on HB "D" on Saturdays and Some times on <br />Sundays as early as 6:30am. With a permanent Pitch location, what is to prevent that adult <br />group from moving over to the Youth cricket space? you do not have room for a 240 radius <br />clearance in this location. 6. The time of use would conflict with the youth soccer summer <br />instructional play on SF 12 from March through June as well as soccer tournaments. 7. This <br />field says time of use is March - June. The other options provide more accessible time of use. <br />8. Co -Ed youth Rugby tournaments are on this field (the most recent being 6/18/2022). The <br />rugby team uses the side lines between Football field 1 and 2 for throwing in their balls/ team <br />substitutions, etc. This would be directly in the path of the permanent pitch location. 9. When <br />adults were playing cricket on HB D consistently every week, we noted the "leagues" were all <br />men only. You may be taking over fields that are currently accessible to all genders for a <br />variety of sports. <br />143 <br />I'd prefer Pickleball courts. <br />6/23/2022 6:28 PM <br />144 <br />Little league majors and AAA play on LL -5 & LL -6. Although a cricket pitch wouldn't affect the <br />6/23/2022 5:59 PM <br />usage of baseball fields, adding more traffic to this area would put a strain on parking. On June <br />18th, 2022 PLL had games going on while a rugby tournament was utilizing the open grass <br />area. It was extremely hard to find parking and many people had to park on Parkside Dr. and <br />25/37 <br />
