site
analysis
after
the
design
team
presentation,
we're
going

next
slide.
A
So
here's
the
project
team,
I
am
b
chatfield
the
project

If
you
have
any
questions,
please
send
me
an

Let
me
know
if
you
have
any

or
any
thoughts.
Christine

or
617.
A
We
also
have
kyle
zick
and
danielle
desolets
here
from
kyle
zick
landscape
architecture.
They
are
our
designers
and
they
have
a
lot
of
great
experience,
designing
parks
and
public
spaces
throughout
boston,
so
we're
really
thrilled
to
have
them
on
board
and
we
also
have
shanice
pimentel,
who
is
part
of
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
Perhaps
some
of
you
know
her
she's
shanice
pimentel
at
boston.gov
or
617-635-2600
next
slide.
Please.
A
So
when
we
design
a
park
at
the
parks
department,
we
take
into
account
a
lot
of
different
things
and
we
try
and
balance
them
all
and
we
go
back
one
slide
there
we
go.
So
we
have
the
city
of
boston
priorities
that
we're
trying
to
work
with.
We
have
safety
guidelines
and
regulatory
guidelines
that
govern
everything.
We
do.
We've
got
community
input,
which
is
what
we're
doing
here
tonight.
A
We
really
want
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say
to
us
and
we
also
have
our
own
parks
and
recreation
goals
which
help
support
the
city
of
boston
priorities.
We
bring
all
of
those
things
together
and
our
designers
bring
their
talents
and
skills
and
their
ears
and
their
pens
and
their
computers
and
create
a
fantastic
park
design.
So
these
are
all
the
things
that
we're
trying
to
balance
next
slide
please.
A
So
the
city
of
boston
priorities
are
expanding,
walkable
access
to
parks,
addressing
equity
climate
resilience
within
our
neighborhoods
health
of
our
citizens,
and
improving
housing
and
community
building
next
slide.
Please,
the
parks
and
recreation
goals,
we're
trying
to
design
parks
that
are
accessible
and
available
to
all
create
spaces
that
are
diverse,
balanced
with
an
efficient
mix
of
uses,
meaningful
and
inclusive
community
engagement,
creation
of
adaptive
and
resilient
landscapes
and
promote
connections
not
just
physically
within
neighborhoods,
but
between
neighbors
next
slide.
A
A
Then
we
come
back
to
talk
to
you
again
in
december
community
meeting
number
two
and
that's
where
we
say
we
have
a
few
ideas.
What
do
you
like
from
each
idea
and
then
we
regroup
again
develop
the
design
further
and
then
come
back
to
the
community
for
our
last
meeting
in
january
of
2021,
where
we
say
this
is
what
we
heard
did
we
get
it
right
and
hopefully
we
get
consensus
and
we
move
ahead
with
the
design
of
this
park
and
we
create
the
contract
documents.
The
specifications
etc,
so
that
means
throughout
the
spring.
A
B
And
before
we
go
any
further,
I
just
wonder
I
think
other
people
have
attended
and
maybe
we
should
ask
again
if
any
elected
officials
are
here
or
if
anyone
has
questions
about
the
overall
project
before
we
get
into
specifics,.
C
Yeah
I
see
that
kenzie
bach,
the
city
councilor
is
here
and-
and
I
think,
I'm
kind
of
a
late
addition
to
the
meeting.
So
I
wasn't
introduced,
I'm
rob
rothenburg,
I'm
the
chief
engineer
of
boston
park
and.
E
Sure
just
just
want
to
thank
the
project
team
and
say
I'm
really
glad
to
be
here.
I'm
excited
about
this
process.
I
think
the
playground
we're
talking
about
tonight
really
lies
at
the
heart
of
the
missional
community
and
it's
used
by
all
community
members
and,
as
was
referenced
by
just
a
really
wide
mix
of
users
and
it's
a
central
connection
and
surrounded
by
many
of
the
chief
institutions
in
the
neighborhood
from
the
church
to
the
library
mission
maine.
You
know
our
our
main
shopping
street
on
tremont
street.
E
So
I
just
really
think
of
this
playground
with
its
three
levels
as
sort
of
the
beating
heart
of
mission
hill,
and
I
think
that
it's
gonna
be
really
important
of
a
robust
community
process.
E
So
I
just
want
folks
to
know
that
if
you
have
comments
throughout
this
process,
in
addition
to
chatting
with
parks
and
with
chinese
you're,
welcome
to
come
chat
with
me
or
henry
santana,
my
aide
for
mission
hill,
who
is
a
lifelong
user
of
this
particular
playground
and
is
also
on
the
call
and-
and
I
just
I
just
want
to
stress
that
one
thing
we're
going
to
be
looking
to
do-
is
come
up
with
creative
ideas
to
make
sure
that
we
get
input
from
a
wide
variety
of
folks,
including
folks,
who
may
not
be
finding
their
way
to
zoom
tonight.
F
G
E
Looking
for
creative
ways
to
do
on
the
ground,
neighborhood
outreach,
despite
the
fact
that
we're
not
having
in-person
meetings
these
days
so
just
want
to
thank
the
team
again
and
say
I'm
very
glad
to
be
here
tonight.
Thanks.
H
Okay,
so
I'm
going
to
kick
it
off
for
kcla
for
the
design
team.
Again,
I'm
danielle
deslots,
I'm
a
senior
associate
project
manager
for
landscape
architect
for
the
team,
and
I'm
excited
to
be
starting
in
on
this
project
and
hoping
to
hear
a
lot
of
feedback
and
thoughts
and
ideas
from
y'all
tonight.
So
I'm
going
to
start
with
a
little
bit
of.
Excuse
me
a
little
bit
of
context.
H
So
hopefully
you
know
the
site
and
you
understand
where
it
is,
but
we
just
thought
we'd
show
just
in
case
we'd
like
to
show
the
park
in
context.
So
you
get
an
idea
of
what
else
is
around.
So
we've
got
the
on
the
bigger
image
there,
the
aerial
image
we
have
it
highlighted
in
the
center.
In
orange.
H
You
probably
know
kevin
fitzgerald
park,
which
is
relatively
new
or
has
been
updated
relatively
recently
and
then
there's
a
fair
amount
of
other
larger
greens
areas
in
the
area,
including
back
by
fence
the
charles
itself,
the
riverway
park,
clemente
fields.
You
also
have
institutions
like
museum
of
fine
arts
and
the
new
england
baptist
hospital,
where
this
park
is
a
short
walk
from
roxbury
crossing
mbta
station,
which
is
fantastic.
H
It
means
I
have
a
lot
of
access
and,
as
councilor
brock
just
pointed
out,
it's
right
on
tremont
street,
which
is
a
major
thoroughfare
in
the
area
and
the
neighborhood.
So
it's
really
at
the
center
of
everything,
and
I
think
that
makes
it
really
really
special
for
everyone.
Our
next
slide,
so
we'd
like
to
give
a
few
different
perspectives,
because
we
know
not
everyone's
used
to
looking
at
aerial
images
or
the
plans
that
we
work
with.
H
H
So
this
image
here
is
actually
a
bird's
eye
view
kind
of
spun
around
from
what
we
looked
at
before
so
in
this
case,
south
is
to
the
north
of
the
slide,
but
tremont
street
runs
diagonal
and
you
can
see
the
basilica
right
next
door
on
the
other
side
of
the
park
of
entrement
is
the
public
library
and
then
there's
the
maurice
tobin
school
down
towards
towards
smith
street
and
of
course,
mystery
is
another
significant
thoroughfare
in
the
area
in
the
neighborhood.
So
the
park
as
council
brock
mentioned
this
kind
of.
H
Has
these
three
tiers
there's
the
more
we
we
referred
to
as
a
passive
park,
where
there's
no
significant,
active
or
recreation
type
spaces.
So
that's
more
of
a
seating
area.
That's
got
some
lawn,
it's
got
some
slopes,
but
it's
really
a
seating
area
with
some
dining
tables,
that's
really
associated
and
closely
associated
with
tremont
street.
H
So
then,
the
restaurants
across
the
street,
so
you
might
use
it
to
to
get
some
takeout
and
come
across
the
street
in
the
to
dine
there
just
to
associate
and
socialize
with
neighbors,
then
there's
the
middle
area,
which
is
the
playground
and
the
core
there
and
then
the
the
ball
fields
down
towards
mystery.
We're
referring
to
this
as
mission
hill
playground.
We
understand
it's
also
been
known
in
the
past,
and
many
of
you
might
refer
to
it
as
smith.
Sheehy
smith,
playground
too
so
same
park
next
slide.
H
Please
so
there's
a
lot
of
different
amenities
and
and
different
opportunities
in
the
park.
There's,
of
course,
there's
the
baseball
field.
There's
basketball,
hoops
at
the
playground
area,
there's
views
of
not
only
the
basilica
but
also
some
fantastic
views
of
the
city,
skyline
towards
downtown
boston.
You've
got
the
fairly
robust
playground
that
has
a
number
of
different
elements.
It's
got
the
central
play
play
space
with
spray
pad
a
splash
pad.
H
It's
got
climbing
structures,
it's
got
swings
and
slides,
like
all
the
good
stuff,
and
the
next
slide
shows
a
bunch
of
images
that
looks
at
some
of
the
other
amenities
on
the
site.
So
we
have
this
decorative
entry
gate.
We
have
cast
iron
fences,
a
lot
of
stonework
a
lot
of
walls,
because
it
is
such
a
significantly
sloping
site,
different
styles
of
fences
because
they
all
came
at
different
eras,
which
I'll
get
into
in
a
second
and
then,
like.
H
I
mentioned
the
seating,
that's
on
the
tremont
street
side,
some
picnic
tables
and
some
other
more
classic
benches
on
the
site.
H
So
at
kzla
we
always
like
to
go
back
a
little
bit
and
understand
how
the
site
developed
where
it
came
along
the
way,
because
I
think
it
helps
inform
us
of
why
it
is
the
way
it
is
today
and
what
the
elements
are
there.
But
it
also.
H
So
so
this
plot
plan-
this
is
a
historic
plot
plan
from
the
city
goes
back
to
1888
prior
to
this
in
the
mid
just
ahead
of
this
in
mid-19th
century,
the
mission
hill.
What
is
originally
the
mission
catholic
church,
which
is
why
mission
hill
has
the
name
it
does?
The
neighborhood
has
the
name
that
was
established
in
1860s.
It
originally
was
a
wood
structure
and
shortly
thereafter
was
replaced
with
the
stone
structure
cord
from
the
area
and
then
in
1910.
H
H
H
Shortly
after
this
plan,
the
the
city
took
the
land
and
in
order
to
specifically
to
establish
a
park
in
this
area,
it's
park
and
the
library,
so
all
that
land
was
set
aside,
specifically
for
and
if
you
can
kind
of
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
this
shows
a
little
bit
more.
It
shows
more
of
the
development
of
the
church
and
their
facilities.
They
had
that
whole
block.
They
had
school,
they
had
the
alfonsus
hall.
H
Many
of
those
structures
are
still
there,
not
all
necessarily
in
use,
but
you
can
see
how
that
block
changed.
You
can
also
see
how
there
is
phillips
street
that
cuts
through
kind
of
where
the
the
driveway
is
now
that
lets
you
access
the
library
and
the
school,
but
more
meandering.
You
can
see
again
those
those
residences
were
all
still
there
shortly
after
this.
H
H
So
the
next
side
is
actually
the
first
design
that
was
developed
in
1915.
This
was
developed
by
the
olmstead
brothers,
which
they
were
nationally
renowned,
landscape
architecture,
firm
based
right
here
in
brookline.
They
designed
most
of
the
the
franklin
park
and
most
of
the
the
major
parks
in
in
boston
or
that
firm
did.
H
But
I
think
what's
really
interesting
about
this
slide,
and
this
plan
that
we're
looking
at
is
you'll
notice
that
in
the
center
of
the
park
there
is
that
core
of
the
playground,
just
like
we
have
today
to
the
north
of
that
is
a
baseball
field,
just
like
we
have
today
and
to
the
bottom
of
the
slide,
which
is
again
tremont
street,
that's
again,
a
very
passive
park
with
seating
and
planting.
So
it's
always
been
very
similar
to
what
we
have
today
off
to
the
right
side,
which
goes
again
behind
the
school.
H
There
was
a
it's
listed
as
an
open-air
gymnasium,
but
there
was
a
track
designed
for
that,
so
this
plan
was
designed,
but
it
wasn't
actually
implemented
for
another
10
years
or
so
the
plans
were
developed
by
this
firm,
but
actually
the
city
then
took
over
and
did
all
the
construction
and
the
design
of
all
the
walls.
H
So
you
can
see
that
curvilinear
wall
on
the
middle
is
actually
a
part
of
that
goes
back
a
hundred
years,
which
I
think
is
pretty
interesting
and
nice
to
have
those
remnants
from
the
original
park
design,
and
you
can
also
see
where
there
was
a
field
house
in
the
middle
of
the
park
behind
where
the
library
stands
today.
H
So
next
slide
shows
a
little
bit
later.
Do
you
still
see
how
the
whole
area
at
this
point
in
1930s
was
actually
developed
as
the
park?
The
library
has
been
constructed
at
this
point,
and
but
the
field
house
is
still
there
as
well.
That's
the
pink
building
right
there
and
then
I
think
the
next
few
slides
is
development
in
the
in
the
20th
century.
H
This
is
a
close-up
of
that
passive
area
on
tremont
street.
It's
again,
there's
horseshoe
pits
in
there
there's
a
couple
of
horseshoe
pits.
There's
a
lot
of
plantings,
there's
a
lot
of
seating.
So
again,
it's
always
been
the
kind
of
space
that
you
come
and
you
know
socialize
with
meet
people
with
it's
more
relaxing
versus
the
rest
of
the
site
is
much
more
active.
Where
you
have
the
playground
in
the
ball
fields
doesn't
mean
that's
what
needs
to
stay
but
just
understanding
the
context
and
why
we
have
what
we
do
today.
H
H
Some
are
on
the
greenway
as
well,
but
he
was
very
much
inspired
by
you
can't
see
in
this
image,
but
that
five,
like
the
flower,
looking
that's
in
the
center
of
the
playground
on
the
on
the
ground.
Surface
of
the
splash
pad,
is
actually
inspired
by
what's
on
the
steeple
of
the
church,
and
you
can
see
the
layout
again,
you
can
see
where
those
walls,
the
historic
walls,
still
show
up,
not
all
of
it's
still
there,
but
three
out
of
the
four
corners
are
still
there.
H
So
I
think
if
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
this
is,
it
shows
the
artwork
and
the
custom
spray
installation
that
was
designed
by
ross
miller.
You
can
see
the
inspiration
how
it
carries
through
on
some
of
the
fencing
and
some
of
the
other
details,
as
well
as
that
kind
of
rose
in
the
middle
of
the
splash
pad
and
some
of
the
fences.
H
B
All
right,
thank
you,
daniel
I'm,
kyle,
zick,
landscape,
architect
and
I'll
just
pause
a
second
and
give
a
little
bit
more
context
of
this
meeting
tonight.
So
as
b
outlined
in
the
project
schedule.
This
is
the
first
meeting
of
three
public
meetings,
and
this
is
our
chance
to
ask
you
all
kinds
of
questions
and
get
feedback
before
we
design
anything.
So
tonight
we're
not
going
to
show
you
any
design
alternatives
because
we
feel
like
that
would
be
just
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse.
B
You
know
we
want
to
hear
more
about
how
you
use
the
space.
What
your
concerns
are,
what
you
think
are
are
great
aspects
of
the
park
or
what
we
need
to
add,
but
we're
going
to
show
you
our
observations
about
the
park,
which
will
hopefully
help
kind
of
get
that
conversation
going
a
bit
and
remind
you
of
certain
aspects
of
the
park,
the
uses
or
some
of
the
shortfalls
or
some
of
the
issues,
and
then
hopefully,
you'll
tell
us
more.
B
So
I
think
you've
heard
us
describe
the
park
the
way
this
diagram
refers
to
it
tremont
streets
on
the
lower
part
of
the
slide
smith.
On
the
top
the
basilica
is
over
here
and
then
the
library
is
to
the
lower
right,
the
upper
part
of
the
park
being
the
passive
use,
the
play
area
and
the
core,
and
then
the
baseball
field
along
smith
street.
We
haven't
spent
any
time
really
talking
about
the
parking
spaces.
They
do
fall
within
the
project
boundaries.
Some
of
those
spaces
are
used
by
the
school
some
by
the
library.
B
So
when
we
start
to
look
at
a
park,
we
break
it
up,
break
it
down
different
ways.
You
know
in
this
slide
we're
thinking
about
circulation
and
this
circulation
is
primarily
pedestrian,
although
some
of
that
is
coincides
with
the
vehicular
circulation
to
the
parking
spaces
and
thickness
of
the
lines
indicates.
You
know
if
it's
a
major
or
a
minor
circulation
route.
So
we
see
a
lot
of
through
traffic
between
the
streets,
smith
and
tremont
along
that
driveway.
B
That
continues
all
the
way
up,
but
there's
three
entrances
off
of
tremont,
which
I
think
are
fairly
well
used
the
center
one.
You
know
which
connects
the
passive
space
to
the
playground,
probably
more
than
the
sides,
but
there
is
an
accessible
route
that
starts
to
take
you
down
the
slope
over
on
the
library
side
of
the
passive
space
and
then
down
that
center
circulation
route
is
a
large
set
of
stairs.
B
So
the
accessible
route
is
around
the
side
and
then
here
into
the
playground
area,
and
then
we
showed
these
minor
connections
as
you
were.
If
you
were
getting
out
of
your
car
and
then
either
going
to
the
school,
the
library
or
the
park-
and
there
is
access
off
of
smith
street
through
stairs
in
an
accessible
ramp
to
get
you
to
the
playing
field
and
the
players
benches-
and
you
know,
as
a
cut
through
to
other
circulation
rounds,
I
didn't
spend
any
time
on
this-
the
circulation
around
the
playground.
B
B
So
then
we
start
to
get
a
little
more
technical
and
think
about
how
the
park
either
meets
or
doesn't
meet
some
codes
and
regulations,
and
some
of
this
is
related
to
ada
accessibility,
some
of
it
to
building
code.
But
I'll
give
you
a
sense
of
the
kind
of
things
that
we
look
for
you
know
so
the
pathways
in
the
passive
park.
Some
of
those
sidewalks
have
a
side
slope.
We
call
it
a
cross
pitch
that
exceeds
what
the
code
allows.
It's
more
than
two
percent.
B
The
some
of
that
accessible
route
that
goes
close
to
the
library
is
steeper
than
allowed
or
the
handrail
doesn't
comply.
Those
kind
of
things
the
in
the
playground
there's
no
accessible
route
to
the
lawn.
Even
though
the
lawn
is
a
well
used
feature
the
play
space,
the
rubber
surfacing
is
the
only
accessible
route
to
the
different
plate
components,
even
though
there
are
other
areas
that
should
have
accessibility
and
some
of
the
bench
spaces
or
the
benches
don't
have
pads
for
wheelchairs
adjacent
to
the
benches.
B
There
is
a
location
on
the
wall
too,
where
there's
by
building
code,
if
you
have
a
great
change
greater
than
30
inches
that
you
have
to
have
a
railing
there
and
some
of
the
sidewalks
along
the
circulation
route
that
are
related
to
the
parking,
don't
have
any
curb
ramps
for
a
wheelchair
to
get
up
or
down,
and
there
are
no
accessible
parking
spaces
in
these
parking
lots.
B
The
picnic
tables,
not
all
of
them,
have
been
accessible
roots
or
companion
spaces
and
then
even
the
accessible
ramp
for
the
ball
field
is
too
steep
and
doesn't
have
all
the
different
components
in
terms
of
railings
and
that
kind
of
thing.
So
there's
a
number
of
things
that
need
to
be
addressed.
That's
not
a
surprise
to
us,
because
ada
just
celebrated
an
anniversary,
but
it's
still
not
that
old.
You
know
it
came
in
the
early,
90s
or
1990,
actually
so
parts
that
were
had
a
major
renovation
prior
to
that.
B
Typically,
you
know
don't
comply
with
a
lot
of
these
and
the
building
code
with
respect
to
handrails
and
ramp.
Railings
has
changed
quite
a
bit
over
the
years.
So
that's
not
a
surprise
to
us
either,
but
a
comprehensive
project
like
this
will
address
these
kind
of
issues
because,
as
soon
as
we
start
to
do
a
project
of
this
magnitude,
we
have
to
bring
it
all
up
to
code.
B
So
the
playground
itself
we
zoom
in
on,
because
we
really
would
like
to
get
a
lot
more
input
on
how
this
playground
works.
You
know
it's
organized
all
around
this
center
space.
You
know
from
a
it's
an
art
piece,
but
it's
also
a
lighting
piece
and
it's
also
a
splash
pad,
and
it
has
a
ring
of
flowering,
pear
trees
around
it
and
then
benches.
B
That
would
be
in
the
shade
of
those
trees,
but
that
also
gives
you
the
opportunity
to
kind
of
observe
someone
who's
using
the
swings
or
the
younger
kid
equipment,
or
the
5
to
12
equipment
or
even
the
basketball
hoops.
So
it's
organized
very
formally,
but
there
are
also
parts
of
the
playground
where
to
butts
the
wall
here,
where
the
pudding
stone,
outcropping
comes
out
in
a
more
organic
way.
B
You
know
it's
not
a
full
court
or
even
a
half
court,
it's
more
loosely
arranged
and
then
the
play
equipment
is,
you
know
beyond
its
useful
life
and
typically
boston
parks
would
tell
you
that
they're
on
a
cycle
to
redo
a
playground,
every
15
or
20
years,
because
that's
kind
of
the
wear
and
tear
duration,
but
also
the
codes
relating
to
playgrounds,
change
in
that
time
frame
and
also
so
do
the
way
people
play
and
also
some
of
the
trends
in
play
styles
and
play
equipment.
B
So
you
know,
while
this
may
have
been,
you
know
the
rage
at
the
time.
There
are
all
kinds
of
options
that
we'll
ask
you
about
for
the
new
playground,
and
I've
already
mentioned
the
splash
pad.
It's
you
know
certainly
got
some
wear
and
tear
in
some
of
the
components
of
the
water
play,
the
lighting
and
the
surfacing.
So
this
is
something
we'll
look
at
the
other
thing
I
should
mention.
B
You
know
we
have
rubber
surfacing
to
the
play
equipment
in
certain
locations
and
then
wood
chips,
the
wood
chips,
the
parks
department,
maintenance,
crew
tells
us
is
a
real
challenge
because
they
can't
get
a
pickup
truck
to
this
level
of
the
park
to
even
replenish
the
wood
chips
and
the
wood
chips
are
hard
to
keep
clean
of
trash
and
debris.
So
that's
something
we'll
be
looking
at
and
then
in
terms
of
site
furnishings.
B
These
are
you
know
all
the
things
that
you
know
populate
the
park
from
benches
picnic
tables,
light
poles,
drinking
fountains,
gates,
bike
racks
and
some
of
the
benches
related
to
the
sports
field.
I
don't
think
I
need
to
get
into
each
one
of
these.
You
know
this
is
fairly
well
summarized
here,
but
there
are
some
locations
where
components
are
missing
too.
Where
there's
an
obvious,
you
know
spot
on
the
pavement
that
looks
like
there
used
to
be
a
bench.
B
And
here's
some
photos
of
the
mix
of
furnishings
that
we
have
near
the
playground.
This
is
the
drinking
fountain.
This
is
a
drinking
fountain
with
a
bottle
filler
down
at
the
baseball
field,
there's
also
a
bike
rack
at
the
baseball
field,
and
then
we
have
backed
and
backless
benches
of
different
materials
in
the
parts
of
the
park.
B
B
So
then
I
shift
gears.
You
know
from
some
of
the
furnishings
to
you
know
the
growing
elements
of
the
park,
the
planting
and
the
good
news
is
that
the
the
trees
in
this
park
for
the
most
part
have
been
very
well
maintained.
You
know
they
they're,
obviously
been
pruned
on
a
fairly
regular
schedule,
they're
in
good
condition.
B
This
map
looks
like
it
conveys
a
lot
of
information,
I'll
decode
it
for
you
a
bit
each
one
of
these
labels
relates
to
a
symbol,
a
circular
green
symbol
which
is
a
tree,
and
this
label
20
inch
means
that's
the
diameter
at
four
and
a
half
feet
off
the
ground,
and
then
nm
is
an
abbreviation
for
what
kind
of
tree
it
is
it's
a
norway,
maple
and
then
the
other
letter
is
its
condition.
B
F
happens
to
be
fair,
all
the
the
legend
for
all
that
information
is
over
here
on
the
left,
so
you'll
see
a
lot
of
g's
for
good
condition,
which
is
you
know,
that's
good
to
see
on
a
park
like
this
oftentimes
we'll
go
into
a
park
and
we
will
not
see
trees
in
that
good
condition,
particularly
look
at
the
passive
park.
Here.
All
the
trees
are
in
good
condition
and
you
have
a
good
variety
of
tree
species
and
of
size.
B
So
you
know
in
size
we
equate
to
age,
so
you
like
to
have
the
diversity
of
species
in
size
to
have
an
urban
forest
that
can
continue
and
sustain.
B
B
There's
flowering
pairs
that
surround
that
circular
space
and
then
there's
some
norway
maples
up
against
the
wall
of
the
church.
On
the
ball
field,
they
haven't
been
pruned,
as
often
as
the
other
trees
likely
because
of
access
challenges,
and
then
there's
red
maples
along
smith
street
between
the
field
and
the
raised
curb
on
the
back
of
sidewalk.
B
So
then
we
also
talk
about
lighting,
because
lighting
has
a
lot
to
do
with
the
perception
of
safety
and
how
comfortable
people
feel
in
the
space
at
night
and
particularly
important
this
time
of
year.
You
have
a
day
that
was
60
degrees,
but
at
5
30,
it's
dark
and
it's
still
an
opportunity
to
use
the
park
and
the
passive
part
of
the
park
closest
to
tremont
street
is
very
well
lit
and
each
one
of
these
circles
represents
a
light
fixture.
B
You
know
there's
a
bright
dot
in
the
center,
which
is
a
actual
light
fixture
and
the
larger
yellow
circle
is
to
give
you
an
impression
of
the
how
far
that
light
extends,
and
I
also
brought
out
a
light
meter
to
the
site
to
be
able
to
measure
the
light
levels
and
very
good
light
readings
in
the
passive
park
until
you
get
closer
to
the
library
and
it
gets
dark
fairly
quickly.
B
The
other
thing
you'll
notice
is
there's
no
yellow
circles
in
the
play
area.
You
know.
Boston
parks
generally
doesn't
light
playgrounds
with
the
splash
pad
off.
None
of
those
light
fixtures
were
on
so
the
playground
is
completely
dark.
B
There
is
a
light
fixture
at
this
entrance
to
that
level
of
the
park
and
there's
some
lighting
associated
with
the
parking
closest
to
the
school
and
then
a
lot
of
light
spills
from
the
school
and
illuminates
that
pathway
fairly
well
and
then
there's
street
lights
along
smith
street.
The
ball
field
itself
is
dark.
B
There's
no
sports
field
lighting
and
here's
a
few
photos
from
nighttime
that
fairly
well
represent.
You
know
the
the
atmosphere
at
night,
the
upper
terrace,
the
passive
park
is
well
lit.
B
The
ball
field
you
can
see
is
dark.
You
see
the
glow
from
other
uses
in
the
distance,
so
we
covered
a
lot
of
ground
and
it's
a
chance
for
us
to
step
back
and
stop
talking
and
listen
more
to
you
all.
So
hopefully
this
has
given
you,
you
know
kind
of
a
hint
at
all
the
different
things
we're
looking
at
and
we'll
spur
you
on
to
give
us
feedback
on
the
different
aspects
of
the
park,
how
it's
used
and
what
you
would
like
to
see
for
the
future.
So
thank
you.
A
Thanks
kyle,
we
can
have
the
next
slide.
So
now
is
our
chance
to
listen
to
what
you
have
to
say
about
this
park
and
discuss
it
and
in
order
to
lead
a
good,
healthy,
robust
discussion,
we
have
a
couple
of
tips
and
suggestions.
We'd
like
to
share
hit
the
next
screen.
That'd
be
great,
so
we're
gonna,
ask
everyone
to
be
respectful
and
use
respectful
language
share
the
air
time,
so
everyone
gets
a
chance
to
be
heard.
If
you
disagree
with
something
that
you
hear,
consider
asking
a
question
rather
than
arguing
to
prove
your
point.
A
It
is
absolutely
okay
to
disagree,
but
please
do
not
personalize.
It
focus
on
the
idea
that
the
person
brings
up
and
not
the
person
speak
up.
If
you
think
this
process
does
not
seem
fair.
If
you
talk
about
people
who
are
not
here,
please
do
not
use
their
names.
Please
speak
for
yourself
and
not
the
group.
We
all
share
responsibility
for
making
this
conversation
productive
and
everyone
please
listen
to
each
other.
A
So
with
that,
I'm
just
going
to
give
a
quick
reminder
in
order
to
contribute
to
this
discussion.
You
have
to
use
the
raise
hand
icon
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
and
we'll
call
on
you
or
you
can
type
your
question
into
the
q
a
button
and
we'll
respond
to
those
questions.
Right
now,
we've
been
responding
during
the
presentation,
but
we're
going
to
take
this
chance
also
to
read
some
of
our
responses,
just
so
that
if
other
people
are
interested,
they
can
hear
them
as
well.
I
I
J
J
So
I
wanted
to
come
tonight
to
hear
about
what
you're
doing
and
I'm
excited
to
be
part
of
this.
The
students
at
the
tobin
and
the
mission
grammar
school
use
the
playground
during
the
school
day
and
after
school.
I
know
lots
of
other
children
do
as
well,
but
we
tend
to
dominate
during
the
school
day.
So
it
is
a
you
know,
crucial
part
of
it's
their
way
of
getting
some
exercise
during
the
day,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
we
love
about
the
park
that
upper
area.
J
J
I
think
the
last
time
they
renovated-
I
I
may
be
wrong,
but
that's
when
they
connected
the
upper
part
to
the
play
area
and
I've
always
thought
it
would
be
really
nice
to
be
able
to
connect
to
the
play
area
to
the
field
to
make
it
feel
like
one
continuous
play
area
and
to
oh.
You
can't
really
see
that
that
well
from
the
play
area,
if
you're
looking
at
the
field,
so
I
think
it
would
be
nice
for
those
things
to
be
connected.
J
Always
it
has
never
quite
felt
right
to
me,
and
it
may
be
that
we're
not
there
as
much
during
the
summer,
but
the
metal
poles
can
be
dangerous
when
the
kids
are
they're,
always
trying
to
find
a
way
to
play
in
that
nice
flower
area,
but
those
big
metal,
poles
kind
of
just
feel
like
they're.
In
the
way.
More
than
being
part
of
the
you
know,
part
of
the
playground,
so
I'm
kind
of
curious
what
some
ideas
would
be
for
that
area
to
make
it
feel
a
little
bit
safer.
J
The
rocks
that
I
really
love
the
natural
rocks
all
around
in
the
stone
the
kids
tend
to
like
to
climb
the
rocks,
which
I
understand,
but
it
is
unsafe.
So
I'm
curious
to
know
if
there
would
be
you
know
the
possibility
of
incorporating
some
type
of
rock
climbing
element,
either
there
or
nearby.
The
last
thing
I'll
say
is
we
have
reached.
We
have
surveyed
the
students
with
some
questions
and
I
have
been
in
communication
with
abigail,
so
I
think
I'll
wait
until
then
to
share
the
students
ideas.
J
A
That
sounds
so
great
mary,
alice
and
yeah,
I
was
gonna,
say
you've
been
in
touch,
so
I'm
really
glad
that
you
could
make
it
here
tonight
and
it's
really
fantastic
to
hear
your
experiences
in
the
playground.
I
mean
just
the
details,
like
all
of
the
kids
in
a
class
can
fit
on
that
circular
bench.
You
know
it's
like.
We
can
go
and
visit
the
site
and
say
that's
a
really
big
circular
bench,
but
it
doesn't
occur.
We
hear,
oh,
that
is
that
it
sounds
very
useful.
A
You
know
and
sort
of
consider
different
scales
for
different
things
like
furnishings.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
those
points.
That
is
some
really
great
feedback.
Thank
you.
We.
We
have
a
couple
of
questions
here
that
we've
got
in
our
q
a
and
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
go
through
them.
Someone
maggie
cohn,
asked
she
was
involved
in
the
last
overhaul
of
sheehy
and
michelle
hill
playground
and
she's
curious.
A
What
is
the
reason
for
this
redesign
of
the
elements
of
core
condition,
and
this
was
brought
up?
I
think
kyle
mentioned
this
too,
but
parks
likes
to
renovate
playgrounds
about
every
15
years.
Safety
standards
change
things
degrade,
so
basically
we're
we're
due
for
this
right
now.
A
This
is
why
we
are
addressing
it
and
then
also
maggie
brought
up
the
good
point
that
a
lot
of
the
design
and
the
playground
specifically
the
spray
area,
was
inspired
by
the
rose
window
and
the
church
next
door,
so
the
fence
and
the
archway
entrance
as
well.
So
those
are
good
good
details
to
include
so.
Let's
should
we
go
back
to
someone
raising
their
hands.
K
Hello
hi,
I'm
gary
walling.
I
live
on
worthington
street,
I'm
also
the
president
currently
of
community
alliance
of
mission
hill.
Firstly,
I'd
like
to
thank
you.
It
was
really
great
to
get
a
huge
background
about
the
history
of
this
park
kind
of
a
little
bit
of
a
flutter
when
I
as
an
art
history,
major
seeing
that
olmstead
had
an
idea
for
at
least
the
olmstead
group
had
an
idea
for
our
park.
So
I
kind
of
feel
like
we're
tied
in
with
the
whole
emerald
necklace
a
little
bit
here.
K
K
There
is
a
one
that
one
corner
that
you
pointed
out:
that's
a
little
dark
that
tends
to
attract
some
folks,
who
kind
of
hang
out
there
and
and
maybe
enjoy
some
adult
beverages
at
night,
but
generally
speaking
it.
This
is
a
very
well
used
park
for
mission
hill,
come
and
see
it
at
so
many
different
times
of
the
day
and
you'll
see
people
using
it.
I
love
that
the
local
schools
use
it
that
it's
their
playground
and
it
gets
a
lot
of
use
like
the
neighborhood
children
use
it
in
the
summertime.
K
We
get
a
lot
of
college
students
using
it.
We
have
a
lot
of
southeastern
college
students
so
that
baseball
field
gets
a
lot
of
use
as
a
cricket
field,
which
is
really
quite
nice
to
see
every
once
in
a
while
there's
a
lot
of
guys
that
you
know
kind
of
hang
out
on
the
smith
street
side
during
warm
weather
and
then
their
softball.
So
this
is
a
great
community
space
and
I'm
very
excited
that
some
renovations
are
happening.
L
So
this
is
cindy
walling.
I'm
gonna
just
not
raise
my
hand,
because
I'm
part
of
this
computer
group
and
I'm
just
wondering
about
what
is
that
the
really
poorly
drained
little
sloping
area
that
in
the
south
end
they
would
probably
call
a
meadow
in
terms
of
how
that
can
be
remedied.
And
so
we
wouldn't
need
to
have
a
horrible
railing
at
that
juncture,
where
it
meets
the
play
area.
B
L
It's
not
really
it's
the
dirt
patch.
That
is,
you
know,
leading
down
along
the
the
stairs
from
tremont
street
in
that
passive
area.
There's
a
set
of
stairs
that
go
down
and
it's
you
know.
K
To
the
left
of
those
stairs,
if
you're
going
up
to
tremont
street
so
that
exactly
where
you
have
the
point
yeah,
it's
it's
a
nice
little
slope
and
sadly
enough
for
mission
hill,
you
would
think
for
mission.
Hill
you'd
have
a
great
place
to
go
sledding,
but
I
don't
think
there's
many
open
hills
that
you
can
sled
on
easily
this
park.
Just
it's
such
a
beautiful
nice
little
hillside
that
it
would
love.
I
know
it's
a
difficult
space,
probably
for
drainage,
but
it
would
be
great
if
that
could
be
green
space.
K
I
could
just
imagine
kids
hanging
out,
especially
in
the
times
of
covid,
if
kids
could
hang
out
in
a
big
open
space
and
and
have
classroom
space
out
there
on
a
really
nice
day,
because
it's
because
of
the
slope,
the
teacher
could
be
the
down
part
of
the
hill.
So
it's
just
been
a
one
part
of
the
playground
that
is
really
kind
of
a
sad
bit
because
it
just
it
just
really
can't
grow
grass.
At
this
point
I
don't
know
if
it's
the
slope
or
the
drainage
or
what.
B
K
It
might
be
where
I
just
think
it's
been,
so
it's
been
so
long
that
that
patch
has
gotten
you
know
once
the
topsoil
I
think
had
been
eroded
off.
I
think
it's
been
a
long
time.
It's
really
hard
for
the
grass
to
grow
back.
It's
it's
the
one
big
open,
non-planned
space
near
the
playground,
so
it
does
invite
a
lot
of
running
around
in
a
grass
field
again
back
to
what
the
teacher
had
been
saying,
because
it
doesn't
connect
as
easily
to
a
big
open
this
big
open
field
below.
K
So
if
there
wasn't
a
baseball
game
or
something
going
on
where
kids
might
want
to
just
go
from
the
upper
part
and
run
around
on
the
grass,
that's
the
spot
that
they
can
run
around
on.
So
I
think
it
just
gets
a
lot
of
wear
and
tear
and
I'd
hate
to
see
it
turned
into
something
like
hard
surface
if
it
could
be
preserved
and
brought
back
to
a
grass
surface
with
proper
drainage
or
something
it
would
be
great.
A
That's
great
to
hear.
Thank
you
so
much
you
guys,
because
I
mean
really
it's
one
of
our
efforts.
You
know,
as
as
we
have
to
deal
with
more
rainfall-
and
you
know,
water
management
on
site
is
very
important,
so
we're
definitely
not
looking
to
increase
the
amount
of
paved
surfaces
just
generally,
of
course,
if
there's
something
that
seems
very
appropriate,
we
would
but
that's
good
to
hear
your
experiences
with
it.
A
I
also
wanted
to
note
that
maggie
cohn
on
the
chat
said
that
it
was
envisioned
as
a
place
for
folks
to
sit
and
listen
to
music
or
talk,
etc.
So
I
think
sort
of
like
not
quite
a
structured
amphitheater,
but
that
type
of
thing
so
that's
sort
of
good
background
information
there.
I
want
to
go
back
to
our
q
a
list
here
and
we
have
a
question
from
dennis
poltinas
who
said
that
sorry,
the
mic
isn't
working.
His
question
is
about
the
recent
work
on
the
smithfield.
A
You
didn't
mention
it,
but
there
were
some
renovations
there
and
irrigation
added.
Do
you
have
a
date
for
when
that
happened?
That
is
a
good
question.
We're
just
talking
about
that
before
the
meeting.
I
think
it
was
in
the
early
2000s
and
if
you
want
to
email
me
abigail.chatfield
boston.gov.
A
I
can
get
you
that
information,
but
I
I
personally
do
not
have
that
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
think
it
was
in
the
early
2000s.
C
Can
I
jump
in
a
little
bit
here
b?
That's
rob
row
to
cook.
I
know
there.
There
is
work
going
on
at
smith
now
that
that
you
know
the
next
phase
is
supposed
to
start
in
the
spring
of
21
at
smith,
but
there's
a
lot
of
different
fields
at
smith.
Some
belong
to
the
city,
there's
also
some
state
fields
that
are
near
there
that
that
some
people
think
are
part
of
it.
C
So
if
you
send
us
a
question,
we'll
definitely
answer
for
you
to
make
sure
we're
answering
the
right,
the
right
location.
I
also
want
to
add
a
little
bit
something
that
we
found
out
just
today,
great
great
news.
We
got
a
state
grant
for
this
park.
We
have
an
extra
400
000
to
redo
the
field
below,
so
I
also
want
to
make
sure
people.
C
I
know
the
the
the
scope
of
this
work
originally
said
that
it
did
not
include
the
field,
but
the
fact
that
we
just
got
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
dedicated
to
the
field
means
we're
also
opening
it
up
to
what's
going
on
down
there,
and
we
literally
just
found
out
about
that
grant.
We
got
official
word,
maybe
two
hours
before
this
meeting,
so
we
didn't
have
a
lot
to
prepare
for
this.
G
G
G
My
organization
did
have
an
event
where
we
set
up
tables
on
that
side
of
the
park
and
we
included
the
grassy
areas
and
some
of
the
people
that
had
mobility
issues
felt
that
the
grassy
areas
was
not
we're
not
stable
enough
for
them
to
we're,
not
even
enough
for
them
to
walk
on
safely,
so
they
didn't
go
visit
tables
that
were
in
the
middle
of
the
area.
G
The
younger
people
who
were
healthy,
didn't
see
that
as
a
problem,
I
know
that
in
the
summer
a
lot
of
kids
go
and
a
lot
of
people
go
to
the
library
to
use
the
bathroom
when
they're
at
the
park.
Oh
the
other
thing,
those
guys
thought
from
like
talk
to
once
mystery.
They
thought
there
should
be
lights
on
the
baseball
field
at
night,
at
least
until
10
30,
so
people
could
play
baseball
until
then.
G
G
Every
time
we've
rented
the
we've
applied
to
use
the
park.
We
never
even
included
the
parking
because
we
never
knew
you
could
park
there.
The
light
you
should
check
with
the
library,
but
I
don't
think
the
library
knows
they
can
park
there.
G
They
just
have
the
site
on
their
building,
but
they
may
know
it
now.
I
don't
know
I
always
thought
it
was
part
of
the
school
and
I
wonder
if
there's
some
kind
of
lease
arrangement
between
the
parks
department
and
the
tobin
school,
so
they
can
use
it
during
the
school
season
and
day.
G
I
haven't
really
played
in
the
playground
nor
sat
in
the
in
the
meadow
or
plate
in
it.
So
I
have
no
comment
about
those,
but
I
see
it
gets
a
lot
of
use.
A
All
right
can
I
interrupt
one
second,
you
started
off
by
saying
you
were
talking
to
some
guys
who
are
down
on
the
smith
street,
and
then
you
cut
out
when
you
said
the
thing
that
they
were
looking
to
see
in
the
park.
Would
you
mind
repeating
that?
Oh.
G
They
had
brought
their
own
folding
table
and
chairs.
We
were
wondering
if
it
was
possible
to
make
some
kind
of
folding
tables
on
that
part
of
the
park.
Seating
tables.
Okay,
thank
you.
They
could
sit
there.
I
also
asked
them
if
they
thought
we
should
get
rid
of
some
of
the
parking
spaces
and
bump
the
street
out
there,
and
they
said
no.
G
You
couldn't
do
that
because
of
the
school
buses,
but
they
just
thought
there
should
be
better
seating
for
people
who
want
to
sit
down
at
that
and
play
dominoes
or
relax
during
the
winter
summer.
A
G
Overall,
well,
I'm
I'm
always
thinking
about
getting
rid
of
roadways
in
mission
hill,
so
that
was
just
my
idea,
not
a
bad
idea,
but
the
other
thing
is,
I
also
talked
talked
to
a
all.
The
dog
walker
seemed
to
walk
through
there.
I
was
in
there
with
my
dog
and
I
talked
to
another
person
who
thought
that
it
was
a
really
good
area.
She
observed
that
sometimes
you've
seen
people
sleeping
in
the
park
at
night.
G
I've
never
seen
it
myself,
but
we-
I
that's
a
like
a
city-wide
safety
issue
that
that's
not
a
park,
design
issue
that
I
don't
think
that
can
be
addressed
by
park
design
per
se,
but
it's
more
of
a
management
issue.
G

And
then,
finally,
some
of
us
are
talking
about
creating
neighborhood
walking
paths
where
people
could
walk
safely
without
having
to
cross
the
street.
In
this
block.

A
I
want
to
bring
this
back
to
the
the
q
a
that
we
have
also
ellen
moore
says.
I
would
like
to
bring
your
attention
to
two
brookline
parks
fisher
here
fisher
hill
reservoir
park
and
the
brookline
avenue
playground
both
have
a
wonderful
balance
of
natural
and
built
environments
and
active
and
passive
uses.
I'd
love
to
see
that
sort
of
balance
here.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
I
F
B
A
B
A
D
Yes,
we
have
maggie
kong.
M
It
was
interesting
to
hear
the
concern
about
the
the
water
feature,
the
splash
pad
and
the
pipes
as
a
hazard,
and
I
just
I've
always
really
loved
the
water
feature,
and
I'm
wondering
if-
and
I
know
the
lighting
has-
the
lighting
has
actually
been
problematic
in
an
ongoing
way.
So
I'm
wondering
if
it's
possible,
to
keep
that
and
improve
it.
Somehow.
A
Yeah,
well
we're
really
we're
really
curious
to
hear
what
you
guys
have
to
say
about
that,
and
so
thank
you
for
that
feedback.
It
is
public
art.
So
it's
something
that
we,
you
know
it.
It's
not
just
a
simple
playground.
This
is
sort
of
listed
in
the
documentation
as
public
art
in
the
city
and
we've
spoken
to
the
artist
and
he
has
been
very
open
to
what
the
community
wants.
A
So
if
this
is
something
where
it,
you
know
it's
functional
as
far
as
the
spray
features
go,
you
know
it's
still
working
and
the
hardware
is
all
good
and
it's
in
it's
in
reasonably
good
condition
as
far
as
its
function,
but
the
lighting
doesn't
work
and
there
are
upgrades
that
could
be
made.
So
if
we
hear
from
you
guys
that
this
is
something
that
is
good,
we.
J
D
A
Then
we
can,
you
know,
work
around
it
and
try
and
perhaps
improve
it
a
little
bit
and
if
it's
something
that
you
know
doesn't
seem
to
fit
the
context
anymore
and
perhaps
creates
too
much
of
a
danger
for
children
trying
to
run
around
then
that's
important
too.
So
we've
heard
you
know
both
of
those
things,
and
thank
you
for
for
weighing
in
on
that.
We
appreciate
that
I.
M
A
N
Hi,
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
what
maggie
said.
You
know
it's
true
that
kids
love
a
water
feature.
N
I
don't
personally
think
that
is
the
most
wonderful
water
feature
that
we
could
have,
but
if,
if
the
community
wants
that
particular
one
kept
one
way
to
make
it
safer
would
for
it
to
be
not
so
much
in
the
center
of
the
playground
area.
So
if
the
playground
could
be
redesigned
so
that
the
what
you
know
leave
the
water
feature
but
redesign
the
playground
so
that
the
water
feature
wasn't
at
the
epicenter
so
that
people
wouldn't
be
running
through
it
all
the
time
and
running
into
the
poles.
A
Yeah,
I
think
if
we
were
going
to
consider
doing
something
different,
we
would
still
do
a
splash
pad
or
a
spray
feature
in
this
park.
So
there's
no
there's
no
concern
of
of
removing
that
as
one
of
the
things
that
mission
hill
park
receives
as
climate
is
getting
warmer
and
warmer,
it's
more
and
more
important
to
have
these
types
of
features
in
our
playgrounds.
A
N
Okay,
am
I
still
unmuted
no
go
ahead?
I
was
just
I
I
just
meant
not
have
it
as
right
in
the
middle,
you
know.
G
G
I
think
that
I've
seen
it
looks
like
to
me
that
regularly
it's
not
spraying
the
correct
amounts
of
water
at
the
right
location.
Sometimes
it
looks
like
a
couple
of
holes
are
spraying
a
lot
and
all
the
other
holes
are
just
dribbling.
G
G
And
most
a
lot
of
kids
and
the,
I
don't
think
the
basketball
courts,
basketball
hoops
are
a
destination
for
people
who
really
want
to
play
basketball.
I
think
they
go
more
over
to
the
southwest
quarter
park,
which
is
not
that
far
to
play
basketball.
This
is
just
shooting
area,
so
I
don't
know
if
we
need
to
redesign
that
to
make
it
more
of
a
basketball
feature
or
not.
G
You
know
it's
not.
I
don't
see
kids
really
it
any
case
that
that's
that
and
I
I
had
mentioned
that
moving
the
yeah.
This
looks
like
that
blue
area,
south
of
where
the
water
feature
is
now
could
be
where
it
could
go
right
there,
I'm
not
sure,
what's
there,
but
it
is
kind
of
nice
to
be
walking
down
the
street
and
seeing
the
kids
running
around
and
yelling
and
playing
in
the
water.
A
Yeah,
that's
a
good
point
to
bring
up
also
just
about
sight
lines
within
the
park
where,
if
you've
been
made
very
aware
of
that
being
a
desire
and
an
added
sort
of
feeling
of
security
is
trying
to
open
things
up
so
that
people
can
see
more
parts
of
the
park.
A
Is
there
anything
else?
Marianne.
G
A
Well
tell
her:
she
can
email
me
and
yes,
I
will
anything
works
yeah.
I
wanted
to
bring
up
the
q
a
dennis.
Poltina
said:
the
field
dimensions
are
not
regulation.
Size
now
for
ll,
which
I
think
is
a
little
league.
Maybe
her
softball
would
possibly
be
interested
in
sports
field.
Lighting
little
league
does
use
the
field
monday
through
friday.
Five
to
eight
our
games
have
to
end
early.
A
Sometimes
I
don't
believe
that
sort
of
court
lighting,
like
the
the
large
sports
lights,
are
going
to
be
possible
with
the
budget
that
we
have
but
kyle.
If
you
want
to
talk
about
this.
B
Well,
I
think
you
know,
as
we
start
to
coming
out
of
this
meeting,
you
know
we'll
have
lots
of
ideas
and
we'll
put
pen
to
paper
a
bit
and
look
at
all
kinds
of
options,
and
we
put
cost
to
all
that.
So
you
know
rob
and
b
have
mentioned
the
budget.
A
couple
different
pots
of
money
and
we'll
just
have
to
you
know
see
what
works.
What
fits
and
what
priorities
are.
So
you
know
it's
hard
to
say,
anything's
off
the
table
yet
right.
C
And
just
to
be
clear,
we
also
consult
with
permitting
paul
mccaffrey.
If
you
do
any
sports
or
or
use
the
fields,
you
know
paul
and
we
don't
really
change
anything
on
any
of
the
fields
without
at
least
consulting
with
paul
and
hearing
his
thoughts
on
what
the
usages
are,
what
what
is
needed
for
what
he
sees
the
trends
that
are
that
are
coming
up.
So
we
will
definitely
also
talk
to
paul
about
the
the
needs
here
as
well.
J
Hi
again,
I
wanted
to
add
that
there
there
are
a
lot
of
benches
in
the
upper
street
area
and
there
are
a
lot
of
benches
in
the
play
area,
which
I
I
think
is
great,
especially
today
with
the
need
to
spread
out.
I
think
the
park
lends
itself
nicely.
J
You
know
to
letting
parents
sit
and
watch
their
children
and
still
be
apart
from
one
another
they're
really
there's
not
much,
though
down
below
there
are
the
little
bleachers
which
are
pretty
small
near
the
field,
and
then
there
are
of
two,
maybe
three
benches
along
smith
street
on
the
you
know
within
the
fence.
J
So
I
think
it
would
be
nice
to
have
some
more
seating
areas
around
the
field,
and
I
wanted
to
also
add
that
the
the
sight
lines
are
a
concern
whether
it
me
you
know
is
if
you're
in
one
section
you
can't
see
in
the
others,
but
then
there
are
also
some
little
corners
and
and
there's
this
gate
that
goes
to
the
church.
I
know
they
they've
tried
to
fix
it
a
couple
of
times
but
yeah
if
you
move
over
a
little
bit
further.
J
So
if
you're
at
the
swings,
the
big
swings
just
a
little
bit
closer
to
the
field.
There's
this
gate
there
that
always
seems
to
be
of
interest
to
children
and
it
doesn't
seem
very
secure.
I
think
maybe
something
has
has
been
done
to
it,
but
that's
always
feels
a
little
insecure
like
a
kid,
could
go
right
underneath
and
disappear.
D
A
A
A
A
So
we
also
have
our
project
website,
which
is
a
great
way
to
keep
in
touch
and
understand
when
the
meetings
are
coming
up
right
now,
we're
we're
saying
it's
december,
but
you
know
the
specific
date
will
be
posted
there.
So
please
keep
in
touch
with
us
on
our
project
website
and
thank
you
guys
so
much.
This
has
been
really
really
helpful.
B
The
only
other
thing
to
add
is
for
our
non-digital
people
and
you're
already
on
this
call.
But
there
are
some
paper
copies
of
the
survey
at
three
locations
at
the
tobin
school
at
the
public
library
and
at
lily's,
pasta
express.
