Park is a tot lot, and that means it's for kids between the ages of 3 and 5, and it is basically built on the same dream of the original Park. That's what the community wanted and we try to keep most of the trees. We kept the theme of the boat because the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria we kept the San part for the kids to play in. But if you look at it, it's just much nicer.

Now, it's um it's more up to date and it's safe for the cool thing is now kids with disabilities can come into the park and by now.

Part is amazing, it actually has I think something for everybody. It has things for little kids and tots, and also for elementary age. Kids. One of the neat things about it too, is that even as you're having fun we're helping the environment there's the way that we have the water, runoff and then water runoff is a problem here in Arlington it goes to a vegetated swale. A vegetated swale actually helps filter the water so on a rainy day. Hopefully the water will all will go out and kids we get to play sooner.

But what's neat too is there's a pump, so the kids can actually play in the rain water. So look at parents. They may come home a little dirty. It's actually a pretty long process to have a park because you just don't build them. You you look at them. You talk to the community, you see what you can afford in the budget and then you start making the plan. Then you check with the community, make sure it's what they want. It's a process.

It takes a while I think, thank goodness it came from a couple years ago. That's actually something that's been cut drastically in the last budget cycle. We actually dropped our capital mainland's by 93% I'm from 3.2 million to two hundred thousand dollars, so you're not going to see too many new parks coming up from that area. The other park, though Parker's Park, actually came from a really cool idea and that's still in place was the neighborhood conservation grams. But the neighborhood got together and said.

We want a better Park and we want to help the community build it at the county building, and so they actually provide for grant within the county. We have to give these out all year long and any time a community says, I want a different light. Post I want a park. Bench I want a different part. They can apply for these brands, they range in size and, of course, with the economic times. It won't be so many, but that's how we got this Bay Park.
