Description
Mission Hill Playground Community Meeting #2 - December 15, 2020
A
Looming
over
the
site,
but
also
the
materials
in
the
park
in
the
walls
in
the
entry
piers
relate
to
the
stone
in
the
basilica
and
the
library
branch.
So
it
feels
like
it's
very
cohesive
and
part
of
the
same
family.
A
Next
slide,
please,
when
you
look
at
it
from
above,
tremont
street
is
at
the
bottom
of
this
slide
and
smith
at
the
top.
Those
three
levels
are
very
apparent
as
well,
so
the
lowest
level
is
the
largest.
That's
the
baseball
field.
It's
directly
connected
to
smith
street.
We
know
that
a
lot
of
people
use
the
smith
street
edge
gathering
hanging
out.
The
baseball
field
is
used
for
little
league
and
softball,
because
that's
what
size
it
is,
but
it's
also
used
by
the
tobin
school
for
recess
and
you
know
more
flexible
activities.
A
The
middle
level
is
the
play
area,
and
that
includes
a
splash
pad
play
equipment
for
from
age,
two
to
five
to
five
to
twelve
and
also
an
informal
basketball
court
with
a
couple
hoops
at
that
same
level
as
the
play
area,
but
across
an
access
driveway,
which
comes
from
smith
street,
are
two
small
parking
lots
one.
You
know
directly
behind
between
the
tobin
school
and
the
library
and
the
last
part
of
the
park
is
the
upper
terrace
raid
at
treymont
street,
which
is
we
label
it
as
passive
use.
A
So
just
some
photos
giving
you
a
sense
of
the
character
of
the
place.
You
know
from
the
lower
area
with
the
ball
field,
it's
wide
open
with
a
clay
skinned
infield
to
the
upper
right
are
the
you
know
a
view
of
the
basilica
from
that
lower
level.
A
You
know
it's
a
pretty
impressive
building
and
when
you
get
to
the
play
the
level
of
the
play
area,
the
small
basketball
court
that
I
mentioned,
but
also
take
in
the
views
of
downtown-
you
see
mass
college
of
pharmacy
or
mass
college
of
art,
sorry
in
back
bay
and
then
the
lower
photos
are
some
of
the
it's
some
of
the
play
equipment
and
the
water
feature.
That's
the
lower
middle
next
slide.
A
As
we
get
to
the
upper
part
of
the
park
on
tremont
street.
You
have
a
decorative
gate
that
was
designed
by
an
artist.
You
have
a
historic
cast
iron
fence
with
stone,
piers
and
also
decorative
fencing
and
stone,
retaining
walls
kind
of
bound
that
upper
edge
of
the
upper
terrace,
there's
also
picnic
tables
and
benches
in
the
shade
of
that
tree.
That
makes
for
some
nice
gathering.
The
upper
terrace
is
connected
to
the
middle
terrace,
where
the
play
area
is
with
a
set
of
concrete
stairs
that
have
stone
walls
next.
A
So
at
our
last
meeting,
if
you
were
part
of
that
now,
thanks
for
coming
back,
if
you
weren't
just
a
quick
recap,
these
are
six
different
images
representing
some
of
our
site
inventory.
So
what
that
means
is
what
usually
one
of
the
first
tasks
we
do
is
just
go
out
and
do
an
inventory
of
all
the
different
things
in
the
park
and
that's
could
be
physical
features
like
the
furnishings.
A
You
know
where
are
there
benches
trash,
receptacles,
drinking,
fountains
and
then
pedestrian
circulation,
which
pathways
connect
to
different
areas
and
which
are
the
most
used
so
in
in
this
case
the
diagram
showed
thicker
lines
for
ones
that
were
most
used.
We
see
a
lot
of
activity
between
smith
and
tremont
street.
A
The
planting
inventory
shows
that
there's
a
full
collection
of
jade
trees
and
some
shrubs
on
the
site,
and
generally
the
trees
were
in
good
condition.
They've
been
cared
for
and
pruned
so
that
that's
good
news,
the
lower
right,
the
lighting
inventory,
did
go
out
at
night
and
took
some
light
level
readings
and
also
just
kind
of
general
feeling
of
you
know
how
bright
it
was
or
how
dark
it
was.
The
upper
terrace
was
fairly
bright
and
well
lit
very
similar
to
tremont
street
itself.
The
middle
terrace
had
no
lighting
for
the
playground.
A
There
is
lighting
for
the
splash
pad
when
that's
in
operation
or
when
that's
working,
but
currently
there's
only
one
light
like
at
the
entrance
to
that
level.
There
is
some
sporadic
lighting
but
more
consistent
in
front
of
the
tobin
school
and
then
there's
street
lighting
on
the
smith
street
edge.
The
upper
right
was
a
an
inventory
of
accessibility
and
code
issues,
so
if
paths
were
too
steep
or
compliant,
we
noted
that
if
there's
handrails
that
weren't
compliant,
we
noted
that
as
well
next
slide.
A
So
then,
what
we
heard
from
you
at
the
last
community
meeting
was
a
bunch
of
different
things.
You
know
we
heard
about
circulation
where
people
travel
to
some
larger
scale,
neighborhood
loops,
that
you
like
how
you
connect
to
certain
elements
of
the
park
where
there
were
light
spots
and
dark
spots,
sight
lines
and
safety
issues
how
well
the
school
uses
the
park
and
how
they
use
it.
A
You
know
in
terms
of
the
field,
but
also
one
class
can
fit
around
the
picnic
tables
and
the
bench
around
that
one
tree
that
I
had
highlighted
there
were
some
comments
very
specifically
about
the
splash
pad.
You
know
some
loving
it.
Some
thinking
that
the
vertical
poles
were
in
the
way
of
you
know
other
activities,
thoughts
about
the
ball
field
use
how
it
could
be
used
beyond
just
ball
field.
A
A
B
Danielle
so
good
evening,
everybody
and
again
I'm
danielle
deslauts
with
kzla,
so
the
next
step
after
the
last
meeting
on
the
5th
of
november,
we
put
out
a
survey
both
online
and
we
put
some
paper
copies
in
the
school,
the
community
center
and
the
library
around
the
site
to
try
and
get
as
much
feedback
as
possible.
B
The
survey
ran
for
about
a
month
just
a
little
over
a
month,
and
we
got
a
total
of
40
responses,
but
we
got
some
really
great
feedback
that
really
helps
some
of
it
reiterates
what
we
heard
in
the
meeting,
but
some
could
hear
from
other
people
and
got
a
fairly
broad
base
of
information
that
helps
inform
what
we
do
next.
So
while
we
had
a
15
or
so
questions,
so
I
won't
go
through
every
every
one
of
them.
B
Some
of
them
are
a
little
bit
iterative,
but
we'll
go
through
some
of
the
key
ones
that
probably
inform
how
we
look
at
the
design
process.
Next,
so
the
first
question:
we
asked
how
often
you
or
your
family,
wherever
you
come
with
friends,
visit
the
playground
and
so
yeah.
Approximately
75
percent
of
the
people
said
either
weekly
monthly
or
you
know
a
couple
times
a
month
or
less
than
one
per
month
per
month.
B
Five
percent
of
people
said
they'd
never
been
here,
but
they
might
not
have
visited
the
park
that
they
live
in
the
area
or
commute
through
the
area,
and
then
there
was
10
of
people
who
actually
said
they
come
here
at
least
once
a
day.
20
people
said
tim
20
of
people
said
they
come
at
least
once
a
day.
We
also
asked
what
time
and
it
kind
of
skewed
towards
towards
the
afternoon
and
evening
hours,
but
it
depends
on
what
you're
coming
for
what
activity
in
the
time
of
year
as
well.
B
So
one
of
the
questions,
I
think
is
pretty
informative
is
what
do
you
typically
come
to
mission
health
playground
for
so
the
number
one
response
and
you
could
you
could
respond
multiple
to
any
any
reason
that
you
come
to
the
park.
So
the
number
one
response
by
far
was
just
to
enjoy
relax
eat,
basically,
just
to
hang
out
on
tremont
street
relaxing
in
the
park.
As
the
general
came
in
number
two
visiting
the
playground
was
next.
B
This
is
just
the
top
six
responses
by
the
way
just
to
socialize
and
then
passing
through,
and
then
the
next
one
was
permanent
activity.
So
it
was.
This
is
pretty
informative
that
this
that
the
park
is
really
used
for
more
passive
activities
for
just
relaxing
less,
not
as
much
for
the
ball
fields
or
some
other
activities
more
active
recreation.
B
So
this
is
a
little.
This
is
a
word
cloud
that
we
use.
So
this
question
is
what
activities,
programs
or
amenities
that
are
not
currently
offered
that
you
would
like
to
see
in
the
playground.
B
So
the
way
this
works
is
the
most
the
bigger
the
word
and
the
more
centralized
is
the
more
it
was
repeated
through
all
the
responses,
since
these
are
open-ended
questions,
so
we
heard
very
clearly
that
you
know
this
is
a
playground
geared
towards
kids,
which
makes
sense
very
clearly
that
you'd
love
to
see
more
events,
whether
they're,
concerts
or
festivals,
or
any
kind
of
events,
social
gatherings
that
bring
the
community
together.
B
So
that
informs
us
because
then
we
know
how
to
design
what,
if
there's
a
certain
type
of
space
that
we
need
to
design
for
chess
was
mentioned
several
times.
Water,
fountains
drinking
fountains
were
critical
exercise
facilities,
and
then
there
was
a
lot
of
conversation
about
the
splash
pad
and
the
water
feature
how
that
could
be
kind
of
refurbished
in
this
in
the
site,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
requests
for
more
seating
for
tables
for
places
to
gather,
to
continue
to
gather
and
eat
and
relax,
and
then
the
big
thing.
B
We
don't
often
see
this
from
a
community
that
there's
a
drive
for
more
accessibility,
but
that's
great
to
hear,
because
you're
thinking
to
make
sure
this
park
is
as
inclusive
as
possible
and
clearly
that's
an
issue
with
this
site,
because
there
is
such
a
significant
grade
change
between
the
tremont
street
level
and
the
smith
street
level
so
where
there
are
stairs
and
things
like
that,
we're
going
to
look
very
closely
how
we
can
integrate
the
site
as
much
as
possible
to
make
it
easy
and
convenient
for
everyone
to
use.
B
One
of
the
other
questions
we
asked
was
must-haves
for
the
playground.
Section
swings,
that's
always
the
number
one
answer
and
no
matter
how
many
times
we
ask
this
question,
but
also
tables
and
chairs
kind
of
rose
to
the
top
so
again
reinforcing
that
seating,
that
passive
activity,
splash
pad,
is
clearly
a
favorite
use
for
the
site
and
then
climbing
structures,
and
then
I
just
want
to
respond
to
the
others.
B
B
Again
workout
station
was
mentioned,
and
I
also
there
was
a
great
comment
from
someone
who
responded
that
she's
a
he
or
she
is
a
small
child
care
pro
caregiver,
but
they
actually
seldom
bring
their
group
of
of
kids
to
this
playground
in
particular,
because
fitzgerald
is
close
by
and
that
offers
more
opportunity
to
interact
with
natural
environment.
So
I
think
that's
something
useful
to
think
about
as
we're
designing,
especially
given.
B
The
next
question
we
asked
was,
if
there's
a
particular
style
or
type
of
playground
that
you'd
want
to
see
here.
There
was
four
options:
the
number
one
at
least
half
you
could
pick
at
least
two
or
up
to
two,
and
at
least
at
least
half
of
the
respondents
said
post
and
platform.
So
it's
more
traditional.
B
B
So
then
two
more
questions,
one
we
asked
was
what's
the
most
important
change
that
needs
to
happen
at
this
playground,
and
you
can
see
it
needs
to
happen
at
the
parking
you
can
see
the
big
word
there
is
absolutely
playground.
So
we
understand
the
playground
needs
some
refurbishment.
That's
clearly,
what's
driving
a
lot
of
this
project
and
this
process
there
was
conversation
about
that.
It
just
probably
needs
a
good
cleaning
in,
in
addition
to
any
other
improvements
or
is
kind
of
the
first
step
to
any
improvements.
B
Again.
Accessibility
and
connectivity
between
the
different
levels
of
the
site
was
important
seating
and
then
I
think
this
is
great
too,
that
there
was
also
common
about
providing
making
sure
that
we're
providing
for
seniors.
So
it's
not
just
entirely
driven
by
the
playground
and
the
kids
that
are
in
the
area,
but
making
sure
that
we're
making
this
inclusive
for
multi-generation
and
all
the
community.
That's
there,
because
it
is
such
a
diverse
community.
B
Age-Wise
you've
got
you
know,
kids
students,
students
coming
to
you,
you've
got
seniors
who
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
really
a
park
that
is
open
to
everybody,
and
there
was
comments
about
signage
too,
which
I
thought
was
great,
because
sometimes
you
don't
necessarily
know.
If,
because
of
the
gray
change,
if
you're
walking
on
tremont
street,
you
might
not
be
aware
that
there's
a
playground
just
a
little
ways
away
or
half
a
block
away,
so
signage
would
be
key
on
that
tremont
street
section.
B
So
the
last
one
of
the
questions
is:
what
do
you
think
should
not
change,
and
I
think
what's
really
telling
here
is
that
three
distinct
areas?
And
then
it
also
this
is
the
overall
layout.
B
So
we
understand
that
there
is
kind
of
that
passive
park
area
that
kyle
talked
about
up
at
tremont
street,
the
playground
in
the
core
section
and
then
the
ball
field,
the
more
active
recreation
down
towards
the
smith
side
of
the
park
so
heard
loud
and
clear
that
that
probably
shouldn't
change
in
all
reality
because
of
the
grades
and
the
the
walls
that
are
on
the
site
already
a
lot
of
that
won't.
But
we
we
we
hear
you
that
you
appreciate
that
and
also
appreciate
the
balance.
B
B
Some
of
the
other
things
I
talked
about
the
mature
trees,
the
splash
pad,
maybe
needs
to
be
refurbished
or
refreshed,
but
you
still
want
to
maintain
that
there
is
a
splash
pad
there
benches
and
seating
again.
That's
a
key
element
to
this
park,
so
we'll
work
maintain
that.
B
So
there
was
a
comment
too
about
natural
turf
at
the
ball
field
and
not
artificial
turf,
so
that's
in
there.
So
what
does
that
do
for
us?
So
we
take
the
information
that
kyle
summarized
in
the
beginning
that
we
talked
through
at
the
last
meeting.
We
take
all
your
feedback
both
from
the
survey
and
the
comments
last
time,
and
we
start
to
look
critically
at
the
site
and
start
to
design.
B
These
are
very
conceptual
designs,
they're,
more
bubbles
than
anything,
but
it's
in
or
a
good
way
for
us
to
gauge
the
actual
level
of
interest,
because
if
someone's
says
we
wanna,
we
want
a
splash
pad.
We
want
the
same
splash
pad,
but
just
renovate
it
or
we
want
something
all
new.
Then
it
gives
us
a
sense.
We
can
kind
of
filter
out
those
comments
and
understand
exactly
how
the
community
feels
about
different
ideas.
So
with
that
said,
we'll
start
with
the
big
the
site
together.
So
we
keep
rotating.
B
The
image
on
you,
so
smith
street
is
on.
The
left.
Side
now
come
on
is
on
the
right.
The
basilica's
down
at
the
bottom
so
clearly
and
then
here's
the
tobin
school
here
and
the
library,
so
this
one
we're
going
to
probably
focus
a
little
bit
more
on
the
recreation
side
in
the
ball
field,
but
I
just
want
to
so.
You
can
all
understand
the
dugouts
that
are
working
here.
It's
the
skinned
infield
for
softball
little
league,
again
the
play
and
then
the
the
passive
area,
and
then
it's
also
key.
B
B
So,
as
an
initial
concept,
we
looked
at
the
wreck
at
the
the
existing
ball
field
and
we
heard
there
was
a
few
comments
to
talk
about
creating
a
better
connection
through
the
site,
but
also
around
the
site
and
the
the
idea
of
potentially
creating
a
walking
loop
through
the
site.
So
we
took
a
look
at
that,
so
it
starts
with
the
ball
field.
So
again,
this
is
a
little
league
softball
field.
So
ideally,
a
little
league
field
has
a
200
foot.
Outfield
sense,
that's
to
outfield
fence
to
left
field
and
right
fields.
B
B
So
we
we
looked
at
what
if
we
did
add
this
walking
loop,
so
the
orange
here
will
represent
pedestrian
circulation
so
where
you
might
walk
where
there's
a
path
or
trail
or
paved
surface
to
walk
on
the
pink
here
is
a
particular
connection.
So
again
it
connects
to
smith
street
and
then
to
the
two
parking
lots
but
ends
right
there.
B
So
we're
looking
at
a
couple
different
things
here:
one
can
we
make
a
a
safer,
dedicated
pedestrian
route
that
connects
smith
street
all
the
elements
in
the
park
all
the
way
up
to
tremont
street
we're
looking
at
doing
that,
the
potential
of
separating
that
so
you're
not
walking
in
the
roadway
and
then
there's
the
walking
loop.
So
this
ball
field,
as
it
is
essentially
maximizes
that
the
field
or
the
space
between
the
the
sidewalk
and
this
this
represents
the
retaining
wall.
That's
out
there.
B
So
if
we
were
to
add
a
walkway
back
here
that
was
separate
from
the
ball
field,
it
would
mean
adjusting
the
ball
field
up
slightly
or
and
shortening
the
the
outfield
fence
line.
So
we
wouldn't
have
necessarily
200
feet
to
the
outfield,
oh
to
the
foul
poles.
The
other
option
is,
we
can
still
maybe
get
a
pathway
in
there,
but
that
it
cannot
be
used
at
the
same
time
as
the
ball
field.
B
So
if
you
have
if
this
is
the
dugout
area-
and
you
have
people-
you
know,
15
people
in
there
playing
a
ball
game,
that'll
be
really
kind
of
uncomfortable
to
walk
through
that
space
and
you've
got
possibly
walking
through
the
outfield.
So
that's
option
alternative
a
alternative
b.
B
Is
we
actually
maintaining
that
infield
that
ball
field,
where
it
is
not
creating
that
access
around
the
ball
fields,
but
maintaining
that
fence
line,
adding
actually
adding
a
200
foot
or
an
outfield
fence
line
at
that
200
foot
limit
which
would
run
into
the
the
wall
here?
That's
existing,
but
that
might
allow
us
to
put
a
fitness
area
kind
of
just
beyond
the
outfield
between
the
outfield
and
the
slope
that
comes
through
here
and
that
and
that
drive
area
having
that
fence
line
can
help
protect
the
people
in
that
fitness
area.
B
But
we
do,
if
there's
any
of
the
people
who
use
little
leaguers
out
there
or
softballers
that
use
this
field,
we're
kind
of
curious
how
far
the
people
are
using
if
they're
hitting
it
beyond
that
that
beyond
the
foul
polls,
and
so
that
would
tell
us
how
high
that
fence
would
need
to
be,
or
if
that's
even
realistic.
B
So
the
other
thing
either
way
we're
going
to
improve
the
sidewalk
connection.
We
have
to
make
amendments
for
the
access
for
the
stairs
for
the
handrails
and
the
for
the
ramp
here
technically
doesn't
mean
codes
would
be
adjusting
that.
So,
while
we're
adjusting
that
again,
we
heard
it'd
be
nice
to
have
tables
and
chairs
for
the
people
that
are
using
it.
People
are
bringing
their
own
chairs
they're
sitting
on
the
wall,
but
they're
bringing
their
own
chance
to
bring
those
tables.
B
Can
we
create
some
sort
of
seating
area
along
that,
so
we
do
have
some
pretty
mature
trees
that
we
probably
don't
want
to
get
rid
of
because
they're
in
pretty
fairly
decent
shape,
as
kyle
mentioned.
So
if
this
area,
if
we're
reworking
that
area
with
the
stairs
and
the
ramp
back
there,
can
we
reconfigure
that
to
add
a
seating
area
in
that
connection
or
in
that
little
nook?
There.
A
So
when
you
look
at
them
side
by
side,
you
know
there
are
some
common
elements
and
there's
some
differences,
and
this
is
where,
when
we
get
through
the
presentation,
we'll
want
to
get
more
feedback
from
you,
so
what's
most
important
to
have
the
200-foot
little
league
in
baseball
softball
field
size
with
or
without
a
fence,
so
this
option
doesn't
have
the
fence
so
that
the
walking
is
unobstructed
and
any
leftover
space
is
contained
within
the
fence
that
goes
along
the
driveway,
and
this
has
an
outfield
fence
and
that
leftover
space
is
then
could
be
used
for
fitness
equipment.
A
Now
the
question
is,
and
the
other
thing
to
just
consider
is
that
this
isn't
for
baseball
or
softball
all
the
time.
There
is
an
opportunity
for
this
to
be
have
multi-use,
you
know
it's,
you
could
fit
a
u-9
soccer
field,
which
is
little
kids.
You
know
the
nine
refers
to
age
without
overlapping
the
infield.
A
A
The
other
thing
that's
common
and
worse
and
danielle
mentioned-
is
that
we're
going
to
study
this
is
the
accessibility
along
that
driveway
because
it
would
be
nice-
and
you
know
I
was
out
there
again
today
and
everybody
who
walks
this
route.
You
know
is
in
the
middle
of
the
road-
and
I
imagine
you
know
when
school
is
in
session.
There
are
pretty
defined
times
when
there's
busy
traffic
coming
in
one
direction,
then
out
another,
but
then
some
sporadic
during
the
day.
B
Okay,
so
now
the
playground
area
so
working
our
way
up
towards
trauma
street.
So
again,
the
existing
conditions
you've
got
wall
running
all
this
length.
Of
course,
you've
got
it
between
the
basilica
and
then
there's
this
defining
wall.
These
are
the
stairs
and
the
more
substantial
wall
here
that
sloped
turf
area
that
we
did
talk
a
little
bit
about
last
time
and
then
a
small
area
with
a
fair
amount
of
trees.
You've
got
the
splash
pad
the
basketball
hoop
and
then
swings
and
two
different
structures
for
two
different
age
groups.
B
It
is
essentially
kind
of
a
refreshment
of
what's
there
now
maintaining
the
splash
pad,
but
give
it
some
upgrades
make
sure
everything's
in
working
order,
redo
the
surfacing
things
like
that,
maintaining
the
the
trees
around
the
splash
pod
as
well,
and
then
maintaining
the
circulation,
maintaining
the
stairs
as
is
keeping
the
open
lawn
as
is
but
refreshing,
refurbishing
the
the
lawn
of
the
turf
itself
and
then
we've
included
here
a
large,
a
six
to
eight
bay
or
a
four
base
swing
bank
of
six
to
eight
swings
depending
on
the
sizes
and
the
swings
that
we
put
in
there.
B
But
it's
a
group
swings.
You
know
a
little
less
twings
you
get
less.
You
can
put
more
people
on
them,
but
I
kind
of
like
the
idea
of
a
swing
on
this
side
where
you're
right
near
the
wall.
So
then
you
get
those
amazing
views
in
front
of
you
as
you're
swinging.
I
think
that
would
be
extraordinary,
but
just
one
alternative
and
then
so.
B
We've
got
a
two
to
five
area
for
for
equipment
here,
so
again:
kind
of
a
post
and
platform,
a
bigger
structure,
maybe
a
smaller
component,
some
other
things
and
then
a
larger
5-12
play
area
over
here.
This
maintains
the
ledge.
It
maintains
this
existing
wall
segment
and
the
slope
up
here.
B
We
would
have
to
look
at
hand,
guard
rails
and
things
like
that
and
refreshing
all
the
turf
and
so,
and
this
one,
the
accessible
walkway
we've
done
a
little
bit
of
a
grading
study
to
make
sure
we
can
do
this,
but
from
the
passive
from
the
tremont
street
level.
This
would
be
our
accessible
walkway.
It
doesn't
currently
meet
code,
but
we
can
easily
make
it
meet
code
to
get
into
the
park
this
way.
B
One
of
the
things
we're
also
looking
at
is
there
are
regulations
that
are
guidelines
rather
that
suggest
that
a
park
with
vehicular
circulation
nearby,
sorry
for
the
plague
with
vehicular
circulation
nearby,
should
be
enclosed,
so
we're
looking
at
whether
or
not
that
should
be
a
fully
enclosed
playground
with
a
with
gates.
B
So
alternative
b
we've
shaken
things
up
a
little
bit
one
of
the
first
things
we
want
to
do.
If
we
have
the
stairs
here,
if
we
can
make
an
inclusive,
an
ada
ramp
within
the
playground
space
so
that
you've
got
the
connections,
both
inclusive
are
all
inclusive
together.
That
would
be
ideal.
B
There
is
over
11
feet
of
grade
change,
so
that
would
require,
if
you're
thinking
of
a
traditional
ramp
with
handrails.
That
requires
at
least
five
segments.
So
it's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
grading
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
but
it
can
certainly
be
done.
It
does
require
removing
that
stonewall
segment.
That's
there
now!
B
So
then,
what
we've
done
is
instead
of
having
the
swings
as
your
overlook.
We've
relocated
the
splash
pad
toward
the
edge.
Now
one
of
the
things
this
does,
if
we're
only
using
the
splash
pad,
say
10
to
12
weeks
out
of
the
year,
the
rest
of
the
time.
This
creates
kind
of
a
hardscape
area,
a
plaza.
If
you
will,
that
kind
of
draw
might
draw
more
people
and
from
the
community
into
this
site.
B
B
The
other
thing
we've
done
is
that
we
might
do
add
some
planting
to
this
sloped
lawn
area
with
the
idea
of
providing
more
shade
to
the
the
playground
area,
but
creating
a
a
level
lawn
space
in
here
that
portion
of
it
could
be
used
for
play,
and
it
can
also
be
some
some
picnic
tables
or
something
that
this
school
could
use.
Everyone
can
use,
but
the
school
could
use
as
well.
B
For
lunch
time
we
have
a
smaller
swing
bank
in
this
corner
with
three
to
four
swings,
and
then
we've
got
the
two
to
five
play
area
towards
the
center
of
the
part
of
the
playground
segment
and
then
a
larger
five
to
twelve
year
five
to
twelve-year-old
play
area.
The
other
thing
we've
done
since
we've
removed
this
wall
segment
and
we
do
have
some
topography
on
that
corner.
Currently
and
the
ledge
we
thought
it'd
be
interesting
to
kind
of
play
with
the
idea
of
an
adventure
play
space.
B
B
Aside
from
the
traditional
posted
platform,
kind
of
mix
things
up
a
little
bit,
so
this
is
something
maybe
it
could
be
a
rock
climbing
wall
to
kind
of
work
with
the
the
the
topography,
that's
there
or
just
something,
that's
a
little
bit
different
from
the
structures
and
then
we're
and
this
one.
The
dark
green
is
worth
pointing
out
the
dark
green.
B
Actually,
this
is
slips
to
maintain
we're
trying
to
maintain
as
many
trees
as
possible,
but
if
we
are
changing
the
structure
on
the
splash
pad,
it
might
require
removing
some
of
those
pear
trees
that
are
at
the
center
they're,
also
added
slightly
different
grade
than
the
the
current
finish
grade.
B
They're
raised,
above
with
a
curb,
so
the
third
alternative
for
the
playground
area
again
uses
this
connection.
For
the
accessible
walkway
along
that
path,
what
we've
done
here
is
shown
removing
the
existing
stairs
kind
of
breaking
into
that
wall
a
little
bit
to
open
it
up
to
make.
This
terrace
feel
a
little
bit
more
integrated
with
the
upper
terrace,
the
passive
area
on
tremont
street,
and
to
draw
people
in
to
draw
more
of
the
community
into
it.
So
they
feel
like
it's
more,
not
just
a
playground.
B
Then
thinking
about
the
idea
that
people
responded
that
events
having
more
events
on
the
site
would
be
ideal
or,
and
we
desired.
So
then
again
if
the
splash
pad
is
only
going
to
be
used
10
to
12
weeks
out
of
the
year,
can
we
make
that
something
else?
So
can
we
use
that
splash
pad
area
as
as
a
stage
or
a
performance
space,
and
then
have
the
seating
on
this
amphitheater
steps?
B
Then
we've
behind
that
we've
got.
We
can
kind
of
frame
that
splash
pad
area
a
little
bit
with
some
trees.
We've
got
a
seating
area,
more
dining
or
dining
tables
that
everyone
can
use
school
can
use
them
during
school
hours
and
more
people
can
filter
down
from
tarman
street.
With
meals,
as
they
do
now,
just
sitting
on
the
upper
towers,
but
bringing
them
into
the
site
more,
we
have
the
big
swing
bank
again,
two
to
five
equipment,
five
to
twelve-year-old
equipment
and
then
in
that
corner
again,
we'd
be
removing
that
wall
segment.
B
That's
currently
here
so
in
this
corner,
we're
talk
looking
at
if
we
have
one
of
those
big
net,
climbing
structures
that
reaches
up
to
the
height
of
this
upper
terrace
on
tremont
street.
So
if
you're
a
kid
and
you're
climbing
up
here,
you
might
be
able
to
see
back
over
the
wall
and
see
the
trend
on
street
action,
which
I
think
would
be
kind
of
fun.
B
So
I'll.
Let
kyle
summarize.
A
So
I
know
we're
hitting
you
with
a
lot
of
information,
and
but
don't
panic
because
you'll
have
we
can
go
back
to
these
and
review
and
also
one
thing
we
hope
to
do
afterwards
is
have
an
online
survey
that
will
have
each
one
of
these
options
that
you
can
comment
on
or
even
pick
favorites,
so
I'll
go
through
them
all
and
try
to
just
point
out
the
key
differentiators.
A
So
with
concept
one.
I
think
you
know
that
what
I
take
away
from
that
is
it's
most
like.
What's
there
now
we
try
to
move
around
less
infrastructure,
so
the
water
feature
in
the
center
would
be
refurbished
using
the
vertical
poles,
getting
the
lights
to
work
again,
redoing
the
pavement,
but
keeping
it
and
the
trees
in
the
center.
A
Although
it
moves
around
the
features,
it
has
the
two
to
five
area
where
the
basketball
court
is
the
five
to
twelve
kind
of
on
this
whole
side
and
then
a
central
swing
that
has
swings
that
are
for
the
smaller
kids
and
the
older
kids
concept
b
is
different
so
and
we've
broken
the
mold
of
having
the
splash
pad
in
the
center
and
it's
on
the
edge
here,
and
it
doesn't
have
to
use
the
equipment
that's
there
now
it
could
be
if
the
artist
thought
that
was
appropriate
and
we
wanted
to
reuse
it
and
reconfigure
it
or
it
could
be
something
different.
A
Maybe
it
doesn't
have
vertical
elements,
and
this
also
has
the
adventure
play
area
that
has
equipment-
that's
themed,
you
know
with
inspiration
from
the
ledge
and
then
we're
adding
trees
to
kind
of
bound
that
lawn
to
provide
more
shade
and
gathering
for
what
is
a
passive
space,
and
we
would
also
increase
the
lawn
area.
So
this
whole
entry
here
could
be
used
for
passive
space
and
could
have
picnic
tables
on
it
as
well.
A
A
The
water
feature
is
in
the
center,
but
probably
isn't
like
it.
What
it
is
now
because
you're
imagining
it
outside
of
the
time
that
it's
in
use,
that
is
more
like
a
stage.
So
here's
where
the
audience
is
this
could
be
a
stage
and
then
there's
formalized
seating
on
pavement
on
the
other
side.
So
this
is
a
real
gathering
space,
think
of
it
as
intergenerational.
So
this
isn't
just
a
play
space.
A
B
Okay,
so
then
we
have
the
passive
park
on
tremont
street,
so
this
is
clearly
the
smallest
of
the
areas
we've
since
it's
a
little
tough
to
read
with
the
the
nice
dense
canopy
that
we
have
we
kind
of
overlaid
the
the
survey.
So
we
have
a
series
of
pathways
that
kind
of
run
through
this
is
pathway
that
runs
down
the
slope.
Now,
there's
a
ramp
there.
B
As
I
mentioned,
it's
not
doesn't
quite
need
code
and
then
the
pathway
here,
so
we've
got
gateway
here
on
trauma
street,
the
bigger
gateway
with
the
more
ornamental
structure
and
then
the
smaller
another
small
gateway
closer
to
the
library.
B
So
for
this
option,
so
we've
got
again
three
alternatives
to
look
at
to
discuss.
This
alternative
is
they're
all
fairly
passive,
but
we're
kind
of
reconstructing.
What's
there
we
have
a
broad
open,
lawn,
we're,
maintaining
more
or
less
the
circulation.
We've
got
the
three
connection
points
through
there
and
the
center
one
through
the
gate.
We've
got
lawn
on
either
side,
we're
kind
of
removing
the
shrubs
that
that
screen
a
lot
of
the
views
and
trying
to
open
up
the
site
and
increase
the
the
visual
connection
between
the
two
levels.
B
Adding
so
these
brown
bars
would
all
be
benches,
so
we'd
have
a
lot
of
benches
on
site
as
this
option
and
then
some
other
lawn
or
planting
areas,
but
again
maintaining
most
of
the
walls
that
are
there
and
the
fencing.
That's
there
now
just
kind
of
reworking
the
planting
and
the
forms
inside
that
area,
maintaining
all
the
trees
as
well
the
existing
trees
and
adding
one
or
two
alternative
b.
B
So
this
one
works
with
that
amphitheater
option
that
we
just
talked
about
for
the
play
area,
so
this
would
align
again
kind
of
creating
that
central
spine
on
that
main
gateway.
We'd
have
a
walkway.
This
is,
would
be
a
big
kind
of
plaza
area
to
to
work,
to
kind
of
draw
you
in
and
down
the
site
or
to
kind
of
enhance
the
idea
that
the
views
of
this
city
skyline
well
beyond
the
park.
B
We
have
a
smaller
lawn
area.
This
time
focused
on
this
side
on
the
basilica
side,
with
a
seating
area
around
that
great
big
tree
that
you
have
now
to
be
tables
and
chairs
in
that
area,
so
that
would
be
a
more
of
a
hardscape,
hard
surface,
so
fully
accessible
and
then
again
our
we'd
have
that
connection
that
accessible
connection
down
both
to
the
library
but
to
the
playground
area
we've.
B
So
this
one
we've
got
a
mix
of
both
tables
and
chairs
and
some
benches
on
the
site
as
well,
and
then
the
third
option.
We
have
go
back
to
more
open
lawn
area.
There
was
conversations
about
festivals
and,
if
you're,
sending
a
booze
or
things
like
that,
and
then
a
level
turf
area
that
you
could
walk
onto
or
sit
on,
relax
on
it
would
be
nice
to
have
just
off
tremont
street
this.
We
have
a
few
benches
in
this
area.
B
We
could
probably
put
a
couple
more
in
there,
but
this
one
we're
also
thinking
about
how
parks
needs
to
maintain
the
site
and
so
having
broader
areas
of
hardscape.
B
That
makes
it
easier
for
them
to
maintain
trash
and
trees
and
vegetation,
but
also
so,
if
you
remember
this
or,
as
you
probably
know,
this
wall
connects,
but
there's
a
pillar
here
and
a
pillar
here
and
in
between
those
two
pillars:
there's
a
fence
so
we're
looking
as
we
could
kind
of
bump
out
that
fence
a
little
bit
create
a
little
bit
of
a
terrace.
Just
lift
the
grate
up
a
little
bit
a
couple
feet
to
make
this
all
flush.
B
So
then,
again,
you're
kind
of
drawing
the
community
in
and
looking
over
to
the
towers
and
giving
them
more
seating
area,
but
also
being
able
to
make
it
feel
a
little
bit
more
integrated
into
the
rest
of
the
park.
A
It
the
three
different
schemes.
You
know
you
have
to
look
particularly
when
you
look
at
them
all
together,
you
see
the
differences
and
you
know
what
is
different
than
their
what's
there.
Today
I
mean,
if
you
were
to
quiz
me,
I
wouldn't
have
guessed
that
this
is
actually
most
similar
to
the
existing
path
shape.
A
I
would
have
thought
it
was
one
of
these
other
ones,
and
there
is
no
path
interior
to
the
park
right
now,
parallel
to
tremont,
the
tremont
street
sidewalk
gets
you
that
direction
so
option
a
adds,
an
interior
walkway,
so
you
have
walkways
around
the
lawn
that
shape
that
space
the
central
walkway
exists.
A
The
other
thing
to
note
is
that
no
matter
what
we're
going
to
be
redoing,
these
pathways,
some
of
them
don't
comply
with
accessibility
rules.
You
know
in
terms
of
the
cross
slope
or
the
longitudinal
slopes,
so
we're
going
to
touch
them,
so
here's
an
opportunity
to
fine-tune
them
or
make
dramatic
changes.
A
So,
as
danielle
mentioned,
you
know
we
have
the
strong
central
access
that
works
with
those
stairs.
That
then,
relates
to
the
playground,
and
then
we
can
have
defined
paved
space
that
has
tables
and
chairs,
but
a
little
more
visible
from
tremont
street,
but
still
gets
the
shade
from
that
tree.
B
B
Ultimately,
we
could
probably
make
most
of
them
work
in
one
way
or
another,
but
I
think
this
is
a
way
to
kind
of
see
how
they
might
integrate
a
little
bit
better.
So
here
we've
combined.
This
was
option
c
for
the
passive
park
and
a
for
the
playground.
So
the
playground
here
doesn't
change
a
whole
lot,
at
least
in
overall
design
layout,
but
then
we
have
that
terrorist
that
can
bump
out
where
you
can
have
yes,
tables
people
relaxing
and
watching
the
play
from
truman
street
or
the
truman
street
level.
B
Here
we
combined,
I
think
this
was
b
for
the
playground
where
we
have
the
ada
ramp.
So
we
have
all
this
circulation
in
the
middle
and
we
have.
This
was
option
a
for
the
for
the
passive
park,
with
a
more
open
lawn
area,
but
more
circulation,
as
kyle
noted
in
that
passive
area
so
and
then
the
bigger
lawn
on
the
lower
level
and
the
splash
pad
push
further
out,
and
then
this
one
this
just
made
sense,
because
we
have
the
amphitheater
option
in
both
of
these.
B
So
we
have
the
amphitheater
here
with
that
open
closet
area,
a
little
bit
of
lawn
area,
less
lawn
area
here
with
the
than
the
other
concepts,
the
dining
seating
area
here,
with
a
bigger
seating
tables
and
chairs
at
the
lower
level
between
the
splash
pad
and
the
swings
and
then
the
the
neck
climber.
B
So
that's
kind
of
what
we
have
for
you.
We
can
open
it
up
for
some
conversation.
I
think
b
you
wanna
yeah
comments.
C
Yeah,
I
was
just
gonna
say
you
know,
thank
you
guys
so
much
for
for
walking
us
through
all
of
that
and
there's
some
really
great
and
interesting
ideas,
and
you
know
they
propose
a
lot
of
different
things.
C
So
we
we
would
love
to
hear
what
you
guys
think
if
you
just
as
sort
of
a
refresher,
if
you
want
to
speak,
you
can
raise
your
hand
and
we
can
call
on
you
and
allow
you
to
unmute
yourself
or
if
you
are
calling
in,
I
think
it's
a
star
nine
to
raise
your
hand,
so
I
think
we'll
start
off.
There
were
a
couple
of
questions
in
our
q,
a
that
were
submitted
during
our
talk,
so
we'll
start
off
there.
I
think
we've
got
simon
paolo
says.
C
C
That
is
interesting,
design
team.
Do
you
have
any
any
thoughts
on
on
those
suggestions.
A
Well,
let's
talk
about
the
basketball
court
first
because
it
would
be
helpful
to
get
more
feedback
on
that
because
I
think
the
basketball
hoops
on
the
playground
level
are
very
informal
and
just
you
know
it's
not
meant
to
be
a
real
pickup
game,
because
there's
just
not
that
space,
but
if
a
full
court
were
desired,
it
would
probably
have
to
be
at
the
ball
field
level,
and
then
there
would
be
a
decision
to
be
made
of
what's
more
important
for
that
land,
use
courts
or
a
court
and
fields.
C
So
I
think
someone
raised
their
hand.
We've
got
to
do
emily
emily,
so
I
am
going
to
allow
you
to
talk
so
you,
if
you
can
unmute
yourself,
hi.
D
Hello,
how
are
you
my
name?
Is
emily
jackham,
I'm
the
director
of
advancement
and
communications
at
mission,
grammar
school,
which
is
just
on
the
other
side
of
the
basilica,
and
I'm
actually
on
here
with
one
of
our
scholars,
simon,
who
put
that
in
the
q
a
in
a
regular
year.
We
use
the
playground
every
day
with
kids
from
pre-k
all
the
way
up
to
sixth
grade,
and
I
don't
know
if
you
can
unmute
both
of
us
at
the
same
time.
D
But
simon
is
one
of
our
fifth
graders
who
really
desires
having
a
nice
basketball
court.
Obviously,
but
I
know
from
experience,
I've
been
at
mission
gardener
for
three
years
and
I
know
that
the
basketball
court
between
our
recess
with
mission
grammar
and
the
tobin's
recess
is
always
like.
D
We
have
to
balance
who's
gonna,
be
on
it
and
we
usually
just
cut
that
full
circle
in
half
if
there's
any
overlapping
recess
times,
and
so
I
think
the
desire
for
more
space
of
the
basketball
court
is
definitely
there,
especially
because
we,
both
both
schools,
the
tobin
and
mission
grammar-
have
have
kids,
who
are
a
little
bit
older
and
want
to
play
basketball.
So
I
know
that
last
school
year
last
fall
and
the
previous
spring.
D
There
was
some
discussion
between
the
tobin
and
us
about
about
like
splitting
the
playground
area
and
the
ball
field
area,
and
it
was
definitely
the
ballfield
area
that
was
less
desired
just
because
there
was
less
interactive.
I
mean
you
could
play
baseball,
I
suppose,
but
there's
less
interactive
items
on
that
other
than
the
fields
where
the
kind
of
the
playground
area
has
the
different
playscapes
to
play
on,
which
is
great.
The
swings
also
hit
in
in
practice.
Well
as
on
surveys
and
and
then
the
basketball
court.
D
I
know
that
open
field
is
really
nice,
but
oftentimes.
It's
muddy
because
grass
does
not
grow
there
very
well.
You
guys
might
be
the
experts
on
that
of
how
to
make
grass
grow
and
stay
there,
but
I
know
that
it's
used
for
football
and
things
like
that,
and
so
it
kind
of
creates
a
nice
four
segments
of
the
playground.
D
But
it
almost
seems
to
me,
like
the
amphitheater,
maybe
should
be
below
where
that
hangout
space
is
because
it
seems
just
from
my
being
in
the
area
I
live
just
not
on
smith
street
but
close
by
and-
and
I
know
that
you
know
like
some
benches
and
tables
would
be
nice
to
have
on
that
on
that
smith
street
side,
because
otherwise
people
are
just
hanging
out
on
the
wall
and
playing
dominoes
on
the
wall,
which
is
not
really
conducive
to
that.
D
But
then
also
having
that
amphitheater
might
be
nice
in
the
little
like
nook
sort
of
area.
That
follows
the
grain
of
that
wall
at
the
end
yeah
there,
and
so,
and
I
know
that
we
would
definitely
utilize
that.
I
know
that
the
tobin
has
a
like
a.
I
don't
know.
I
don't
know
if
it's
public,
but
like
a
stage
area
behind
their
school
that
sometimes
we
will
use
for.
D
Like
graduations
and
things,
but
that
is
a
heavily
used
heavily
used
thing
at
the
tobin
in
a
desired
space
so
creating
another.
One
of
those
would
seem
to
be
would
make
sense,
and
then
I
know
from
being
out
at
recess
that
the
basketball
court
is
definitely
a
desired
space.
A
Emily
can
ask
one
follow-up
to
what
you
just
said.
Is
it
important
to
be
able
to
keep
the
kids
at
all
at
one
level
and
some
are
playing
football
somewhere
on
the
play
equipment
and
some
are
playing
basketball
or
could
basketball
be
at
another
level,
or
does
that
cause
problems
in
terms
of
keeping
track
of
kids
yeah.
D
D
We
would
say
like
okay
on
these
days,
when
those
times
are
happening,
we
will
go
down
to
the
to
the
you
know,
basket
or
the
sorry,
the
baseball
field
and
then
and
then
you
guys
will
be
up
at
the
playground
and
it
was
always
more
desired
to
be
up
at
the
playground,
because
there
were
so
many
different
items
that
were
there.
You
know
you
could
have
kids.
There
was
a
lot
of
choice
involved.
Right
like
you
could
have
kids
that
were
playing
basketball.
D
You
could
have
kids
that
were
playing
football
on
the
kind
of
like
sloped
grass
area.
You
could
have
kids
running
around
playing
tag
just
generally
and
you
could
have
kids
on
the
on
the
playscapes
as
well,
and
so
it
gave
a
lot
of
choice
but
the
eye
line.
As
a
teacher,
you
can
see
everyone
and
can
see
what's
going
on,
which
is
helpful.
C
D
I
know
sorry,
I
I
mean
I'll
meet
myself
now,
but
if
you
want
to
email
me,
I'm
I'm
more
than
happy
to
kind
of
follow
up
and
simon
and
I
are
going
to
complete
the
survey
together
after
this
after
this
meeting
that.
C
Is
great,
I
was
gonna
say
actually
that
our
survey
link
is
not
up
on
our
website.
Yet
gary
walling
also
put
a
question
in
the
q
a
he
put
his
cindy
walling
at
gmail.com
web
email
address,
so
I'm
gonna
get
in
touch
with
him.
If
you
want
to
put
your
email
address
in
the
q
a
I
can,
let
you
know
when
it's
up
or
you
can
check
our
our
project
page,
because
that
is
that
is
we're
going
to
be
posting.
C
The
link
for
the
survey,
probably
by
the
end
of
this
week,.
D
Great
I'll
put
mine
and
simon's
email
and
that.
C
Would
be
great,
and
I
want
to
unmute
simon,
but
there
is
some
issue
technically
with
the
version
of
zoom
that
he's
using.
It
says
that
I
cannot.
I
can't
unmute
him
for
some
reason.
I
would
have
to
promote
him
to
one
of
the
panelists.
C
Simon,
we
would
love
to
hear
from
you,
but
thank
you
for
thank
you
for
putting
your
questions
in
the
q
a
because
at
least
that's
that's,
a
meaningful
way
that
we
can
spark
our
conversation
and
answer
your
questions.
Yeah.
B
D
B
C
So,
let's
go
back
to
the
q
a
very
quickly
maggie
cohen,
says
if
the
splash
pad
were
moved,
but
it
used
the
same
elements
and
basic
design
as
the
existing
feature,
so
design
team.
What
do
you
think
of
that.
A
I
think
we
have
options
there.
You
know-
and
I
think
depends
on
the
location.
You
know
we
showed
some
locations
where
the
vertical
elements
probably
wouldn't
be
as
appropriate
as
some
other
locations.
So
if
it's,
the
splash
band
is
meant
to
be
a
stage
that
has
unobstructed
views
from
different
directions,
the
vertical
elements
could
be
a
problem,
although
they
also
have
like
theatrical
lighting,
so
potentially
they
could
be
incorporated
in
a
pretty
dramatic
way.
So
I
think
that's
something
to
be
determined.
E
E
Hi,
can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
okay,
great.
My
first
question
is
I'm
gonna
make
a
plea
for
four
meetings
instead
of
three
there's
so
much
to
think
about
here
and
now
we've
just
been
introduced
to
thinking
about
basketball.
So
that's
a
new
element
too.
So
I
know
your
system
is
usually
just
three
community
meetings,
but
this
is
such
a
big
project
and
such
an
important
place
in
the
neighborhood.
So
I
am
gonna
ask
if
possible,
we
can
have
four
in
order
to
hear
more
about.
E
You
know,
narrowing
down
the
options
and
not
just
being
presented
with
one
design.
I
think
that's
really
important,
so
I'm
going
to
say
a
couple
of
things
kind
of
quickly.
I
think
I
like
the
amphitheater
idea.
I
am
the
existing
stairs,
have
a
beautiful
railing
and
you
mentioned
the
connection
with
the
church
architecture.
So
that's
very
it's
a
very
artistic
railing
that
was
part
of
that
redesign
15
years
ago.
E
So
if
it
could
be
reused
in
some
way,
if
you're
rebuilding
a
terrace
over
the
stone
wall,
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
ways
to
use
that,
because
I
would
hate
to
lose
it.
E
The
other
area
I'm
kind
of
concerned
about
is
the
turf
field
in
the
playground
area,
because
it
was,
it
was
talked
about
at
the
first
meeting
about
how
the
grass
gets
worn
down
and
kids
play
tag
there
and
it's
a
slope
and
even
in
the
aerial
views
you
could
see
how
how
worn
down
it
was.
So
I'm
just
thinking
again
how
is
there
a
better
something
else
that
could
happen
there?
E
I
know
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
sledding
at
one
point
at
the
first
meeting
and
maybe
if
the
hill
is
made
steeper,
I
I
just
I'm
not
a
landscape
architect,
so
I
don't
know
the
answer,
but
just
thinking
that
something
different
needs
to
happen
with
that
turf
area
and
all
the
playground
equipment.
I
I
love
the
swings,
overlooking
you
know
the
city,
I
think
that's
really
cool.
I
like
the
idea
of
moving
the
splash
pad
there
too.
E
If,
if
the
vertical
elements
don't
interfere
with
the
view,
but
I'm
I'm
wondering
too
about
how
it
connects
with
the
views
from
the
passive
area,
because
that's
the
most
important
piece
I
think
of
the
park
for
people
right
now
is-
is
coming
to
tremont
street
and
walking
over
to
the
stone
wall
and
looking
out
at
the
city.
So
just
thinking
of
how
that
gets
enhanced
and
just
a
a
final
plea
for
the
ball
field
that
you
keep
it
accessible
for
little
league
at
the
200
feet.
Outfield.
E
I
think
that's
important
for
the
league
and
one
more
question:
you
didn't
talk
about
the
parking
lots
and
last
time
you
mentioned
that
they
are
officially
part
of
the
park.
So
I'm
just
wondering
if,
if
some
changes
could
happen
to
that
driveway
and
parking,
if
how
much,
if
maybe
the
park
size
could
be
increased,
if,
if
parking
areas
decreased.
F
C
Thank
you,
allison.
That's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
great
feedback.
I
think.
As
far
as
the
parking
areas,
we
got
our
survey
back,
which
indicates
that
our
property
line
is
basically
includes
the
top
parking
area
and
then
some
of
the
lower
parking
area
that
is
currently
used
by
the
school
and
as
far
as
reducing
the
area
for
parking,
that
would
need
to
be
a
conversation
that
we
would
need
to
have
with
the
school.
C
You
know,
obviously
that
would
be
something
tough
to
spring
on
them,
because
it's
not
many
parking
spaces
and
I'm
sure
they
they
do
depend
on
them,
but
that
is
that
isn't
interesting,
it's
good
to
think
outside
the
bounds
of
the
park.
You
know
it's
it's
good
to
consider
all
options
so
anyway.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
all
of
those
thoughts.
That's
very
helpful.
C
C
C
A
Here,
yeah
yeah,
and
I
think
what
we've
heard
in
a
few
different
comments
is,
you
know,
is
that
the
best
use
of
that
space?
You
know
that
comment,
could
is
it
fitness
equipment
or
is
it
an
opportunity
to
expand
basketball,
or
is
it
make
it
a
better
lawn
that
works
for
football
and
multiple
purposes?
So
it
says
that
space
is
valuable
and
we
have
to
look
at
what's
the
best
use
for
it.
C
So
gary
walling
says
in
the
overall
plan
of
the
park,
the
parking
space
behind
the
library
is
considered
part
of
the
park
complex.
Could
that
be
converted
to
play
space?
Perhaps
basketball
court
parking
is
not
really
a
highest
best
use,
so
we're
getting
some
some
good
strong
feedback
here
about
repurposing
parking,
which
I
I
totally
respect.
We
would
certainly
need
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
library,
and
perhaps
it
is
something
where
they
only
use
three
of
those
spaces
or
something
like
that.
C
It's
definitely
it's
a
conversation
that
we
would
have
to
start
and
I
think,
based
on
the
feedback
that
we've
gotten
tonight,
we
will
you
know
we'll
we'll
start
talking
to
both
the
school
and
the
library
and
just
see
what
their
uses
of
those
space
are,
because
you
know
right
now
it
is
pervious.
You
know
like
rain,
is
not
absorbing
in
there.
It's
also
in
pretty
poor
conditions,
so
you
know
we
we
could
address
it
as
part
of
this
project.
C
So
no
one's
raising
their
hands
so
we'll
keep
going
with
the
q.
A
maggie
cohen
says
the
splash
pad
has
been
used
as
a
performance
space
in
the
past
and
I
don't
run
in
the
splash
pad.
But
I
love
to
see
it
when
it
is
on
and
lit
always
full
of
kids.
C
That's
interesting
that
it
has
been
used
as
a
performance
space
in
the
past.
That's
interesting,
yeah,
maggie
cone,
you're
raising
your
hand
christine.
Can
you
unmute
or
do
you
wanna.
C
G
Now
we've
had
at
different
times
organ
different
organizations
have
had
events
in
the
park
and
I've
seen
there's
a
group
of
chinese
dancers
from
roxbury
tenants
of
harvard
who
have
performed
dance
on
the
splash
pad
and
at
different
times,
there's
been
musicians
who
performed
on
this
on
the
splash
pad
so
and
in
those
it
may
be
sort
of
a
limited
kind
of
performance.
But
the
vertical
elements
of
the
the
water
feature
actually
are.
G
B
And
gary
walling
just
added
that
that
splash
pad
has
been
used
as
a
tito
puentes
jazz
series
also.
But
it
also
adds
to
that
comment
that
the
amphitheater
stairs
would
pair
nicely
with
it
as
the
as
a
performance
space.
C
So
would
it
work
just
trying
to
think
of
the
plan
like?
Would
we
be
able
to
add
the
amphitheater
stairs
along
with
the
existing
splash
pad?
Would
that
fit?
B
C
Okay,
I
mean
these
are
the
things
that
this
meeting
is
sort
of
fun.
To
think
about
is
like
what
what
pieces
of
each
design
do
you
want
to
see
together,
you
know
and
and
what
what
things?
Don't
you?
You
know
you
don't
like
in
the
first
place,
or
what
what
haven't
we
considered.
So
I
think
we're
getting
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
really
great
feedback
for
all
of
these
things,
maggie
also
added
the
last
redesign
opened
up
the
wall
from
the
top
tier
to
the
play
area
for
better
visibility.
D
E
Oh
hi,
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize-
and
you've
mentioned
this
a
lot-
how
important
it
is
to
do
a
safe
walking
route
from
smith
street
to
tremont,
so
that
people
are
not
walking
in
the
driveway
there.
I
think
that's
that's
like
to
me.
That's
almost
the
most
important
piece
of
this
whole
project
and
when
you
do
that,
I
don't
know
if
you'll
have
to
take
create
a
sidewalk
where
the
road
is
now
or
hopefully,
you're,
not
taking
away
green
space
in
order
to
do
that.
E
But
if
anything
I
would
suggest
narrowing
the
the
driveway
and
also
when
you're,
adding
all
this
hardscape.
If
you
can
think
about
making
things
more
permeable,
so
pervious,
that's
the
word
right
so
that
rainwater
does
drain
better
because
I'm
worried
that
we'll
be
losing
some
of
the
some
of
the
grass.
Thank
you.
C
Thanks
allison,
I
mean
design
team.
What
is
the
the
width
right
now?
I
know
when
you
are
driving
up
right
at
the
entrance
to
smith
street.
It's
very
very
narrow,
so
you
know
a
sidewalk
if
we
add
something
that
is
similar
to
your
standard
sidewalk,
it
would
be,
I
think,
six
feet
wide,
so
that
would
probably
mean
that
a
strip
of
the
grassy
area
has
to
be
converted,
but
I
haven't,
I
haven't
looked
closely
at
it
so
danielle
or
kyle.
Do
you
want
to
speak
to
that.
A
Well,
I
was
staring
at
it
today
a
little
bit
too,
because
I
was
worried
about
only
thinking
about
the
adding
a
sidewalk
on
the
baseball
field
side,
because
there
is
part
of
the
sidewalk
on
the
school
side,
but
there's
some
obstacles
in
the
way,
but
I
think
there's
from
a
feasibility
standpoint,
a
sidewalk
could
be
made
continuous
on
the
school
side
as
well.
So
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
look
at
both
and
really
see
what
makes
sense.
And
of
course
we
got
to
check
property
lines
and
all
that
kind
of
thing
too.
C
So
q,
a
emily,
has
emily
jackeem
has
a
couple
of
comments
here.
She
says,
I
think
the
space
that
is
on
the
slope
between
the
library
and
the
seating
area
would
be
a
great
spot
for
a
workout
area.
Okay,
so
noted
that
seems
like
two
people
with
that
suggestion
and
the
stairs
are
not
safe,
especially
in
the
winter.
So
if
the
amphitheater
is
put
in
you'd
want
to
make
sure
that
it
would
allow
for
ice
and
snow,
so
definitely
good
considerations.
C
E
F
Hi
first
off
I
want
to
thank
everybody.
That's
been
involved
with
some
of
these
designs,
they're
very
thoughtful,
a
lot
to
think
about
really
have
thought
about
our
space.
It
is
such
a
tremendous
space
because
of
the
views
of
the
city
and
everything.
So
I
really
like
I
mean
those
those
swings
and
or
using
space
like
that.
I
really
like
that.
I
love
that
amphitheater
style
seating.
If
it
could
be
doable,
it
just
really
makes
it
a
dramatic
look
towards
that
part
of
the
city.
F
I
think
that's
great
again
just
another
plug,
so
my
kids
went
to
the
hurley
school
in
the
south
end
and
there
was
a
parking
lot
that
was
their
only
outdoor
space.
Well,
they
had
a
a
little
bit
of
a
playground,
but
the
parking
lot
they
actually,
that
was
their
athletic
field.
F
It
was
a
tiny
little
soccer
field,
so
I
mean
it
was
an
elementary
school
so,
but
it
actually
became
it
was
it's
used
in
the
summertime
when
school's,
not
in
session.
You
see
adults
in
there
playing
soccer,
so
I
know
people
kind
of
get
used
to
their
parking
and
everything
like
that.
I
it
makes
me.
I
really
feel
for
the
students,
when
they're
they're,
really,
I
wouldn't
say,
battling
but
trying
to
negotiate
usage
of
such
a
tiny
little
basketball
space.
F
Now
I
just
look
at
that
parking
and
I
think
boy,
you
know
you
could
put
a
half
size
court
in
there
and
still
have
enough
room
for
parking
or
just
get
rid
of
it
entirely
and
have
a
little
higher
best
use.
So
I
know
it's
been
mentioned,
but
I
just
want
to
reiterate:
I
think
people
get
used
to
the
idea
of
being
able
to
park
because
they
think
that's
always
the
way
it's
been,
but
I
think
highest
and
best
use.
F
I
think
there
would
be
a
lot
of
kids
that
would
use
that
on
a
daily
basis
during
school
and
also
summer
time
and
things
like
that,
whereas
the
parking
is
not
used
as
often
when
the
library's
not
open
and
and
school's
out
for
the
summer.
C
That's
great
feedback,
yeah
and,
and
and
that's
true,
you
know
it's
people
do
get
used
to
and
sort
of
stuck
in
their
in
their
habits
of
always
driving
and
and
you're
right.
You
know
we
do
need
to
consider
what
the
best
uses
are
for
these
spaces.
So
definitely
after
this
meeting
we're
going
to
be
we're
going
to
be
reaching
out
to
the
library
in
the
school
and
just
get
the
conversation
started
so
maggie.
G
Go
ahead,
maggie
yeah,
I
just
so
I've
been
thinking
about
the
suggestion
that
there'd
be
a
larger
sort
of
seating
area,
with
tables
in
the
middle
or
towards
the
back
of
the
playground.
G
The
play
area-
and
I
I
mean
in
a
way
I
can
see
where
that
might
work
well
for
people
taking
classes
out
for
to
have
the
children
eating
and
playing
in
the
same
area.
But
I
would
definitely
want
to
see
tables
and
chairs
still
up
in
the
passive
section,
because
because
that's
where
I
would
want
to
eat
my
sandwich
as
opposed
to
in
the
middle
of
a
playground.
So
I
I'm
just
not
sure
those
are
two
good
uses
to
put
in
the
same
general
area.
B
I
was
it
is
another
comment
here
from
john
who
kind
of
reiterates.
That
statement
says
also
regarding
one
of
the
playground
area
options
I
think,
having
a
picnic
sitting
area
in
the
middle
of
the
playground.
B
I
think
there's
a
not
missing,
but
I
think
it
does
not
seem
as
desirable
as
that
seems
like
it
attracts
more
adults
who
may
be
better,
better
served
sitting
in
the
more
passive
area
and
saving
the
playground
area
for
kids
at
the
playground
and
splash
pad
space,
especially
a
flat
splash
pad
space
that
could
be
utilized
versus
virtually
throughout
the
years,
such
as
stage
space,
as
shown
in
one
of
the
other
concepts.
He
also
said.
B
So
I
think
it's
you
know
we
looked
at
trying
to
a
couple
different
options
of
ways
to
bring
more
people
into
that
middle,
tier
and
and
knowing
that
some
of
the
classes
do
come
up
to
use
to
to
have
their
lunches
in
the
park
in
the
playground.
But
but
I
think
that
we,
we
hear
a
couple
comments
that
maybe
that's
not
the
best
way
the
best
space.
So
I
think
if
we
have
tables
clearly
to
maintain
the
tables
up
at
the
tremendous
the
passive
park,
yeah.
C
One
thing
to
note
right
now
is
that
the
the
tables
that
are
set
up
on
the
passive
in
the
passive
section,
underneath
that
large
tree
those
are
not
accessible,
and
so
those
would
need
to
be.
You
know
we're
thinking
about
different
areas
for
seeding.
For
that
reason,
anyway,
along.
E
Yeah
hi
again
just
a
couple
of
things
about
the
library.
The
park
is
almost
like
the
library's
park
in
a
way
because
it
is
a
hot
spot
for
bpl,
wi-fi
right
now
and
probably
will
continue
in
the
future,
so
people
can
use
their.
You
know
their
laptops
there.
E
So
just
thinking
about
that
and
and
the
need
for
some
places
for
not
necessarily
solitude
but
some
use
of
computers
whatever,
and
also
that
the
library
has
does
have
their
own
driveway
and
parking
from
tremont.
So
the
question
of
the
library
parking
lot,
I
think,
is
really
important
to
figure
out
because,
honestly,
I
don't
think
it's
used
by
the
library
staff.
E
So
that's
just
an
interesting
problem
to
solve,
because
if
you
do
create
a
play
area
there,
whether
it's
basketball
or
exercise
equipment
or
whatever
you
have
to
think
about
crossing,
you
know
the
of
the
access
back
and
forth
across
the
driveway
and
making
it
safe.
But
I
didn't
get
an
answer
to
my
comment
about
reuse
of
the
the
existing
railing
on
the
stairs
and
whether
you
think
that's
possible.
So
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
some
thoughts
on
that
too.
Thanks.
E
C
The
last
project:
okay,
all
right,
design,
team.
What
do
you?
What
do
you
think
about?
Have
you
noticed
the
because
oftentimes?
What
can
happen
is
the
condition
of
a
railing
will
not
make
it
feasible
to
reuse
it,
but
have
you
guys
noticed
if
the
condition
do
you
think
would
allow
for
that.
A
Yeah,
I
think
it's
in
good
condition
and
you
know
it's
very
attractive,
and
it
has
that
same
motif
that
you
see
repeated
at
the
entry
gate,
the
fence
on
the
edge
of
the
upper
terrace
and
in
the
splash
pad
itself.
So
it's
something
we'll
definitely
look
to
salvage
if
we
can,
as
long
as
it
can
be
used
similar
to
its
current
form,
because
when
you
have
to
adapt
it
to
a
new
form,
it
starts
to
get
expensive.
For
you
know
what
you
get
out
of
it.
C
Yeah
and
all
of
these
all
of
these
things,
you
know
we,
we
have
a
budget
that
is
pretty
good
for
the
site.
You
know
it's
about
two
2.5
million
dollars
for
construction,
but
it
is
a
large
site,
and
so
we
need
to
sort
of
understand
the
more
we
move
things
around
the
more
we
do.
C
Significant
grade
changes,
the
you
know,
that's
where
we
will
spend
our
money,
and
so
you
know
we're
hoping
that
we
can
address
all
areas
of
the
site
that
everybody
has
has
mentioned
and
brought
up
as
being
really
significant
and
important.
But
that's
just
it's
always
a
matter
of
you
know:
funding
for
public
spaces.
It's
it's
never
like
this
bottomless
bag
of
money.
Unfortunately,
so
something
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
emily
says,
would
love
to
do
a
walking
tour
with
a
few
students,
if
possible,
just
curious
emily.
C
If
you
want
to
continue
with
the
q
a
do
a
walking
tour
with
the
design
team
or
anyway,
if
you
could
email
me
or
I
can
email
you
after
this
session,
we
could.
We
could
talk
further
about
that.
That
could
be
a
great
idea
and
then
john
also
says
allison
referenced.
Wi-Fi
connectivity
from
the
library
is
that
the
same
or
similar
to
the
city's
wicked
free
wi-fi
program
would
it
be
possible
to
extend
connectivity
throughout
the
park.
C
I
do
not
know
the
answer
to
that.
To
be
honest,
alison,
do
you
know
that.
A
C
C
E
Allison
hi.
Thank
you
again
for
listening.
I
I
wasn't
clear
with
the
passive
park
options.
Is
that
circular
bench
around
the
tree?
Is
that
reserved
for
all
three
in
all
three
options.
A
I
think
it's
different
in
each
option,
but
we'd
love
to
hear
from
you
all
how
you
feel
about
it.
It
is
a
good
way
to
protect
that
tree.
I
think
in
one
option
we
moved
pavement
away
from
the
tree
in
general
and
moved
seeding
away
from
it.
So
that's
something
still
to
be
determined.
We
are
a
little
there's
a
couple
things
we
are
worried
about.
A
You
know,
as
bee
mentioned,
the
picnic
tables
kind
of
crammed
all
together
need
to
be
addressed
because
they're
not
accessible
also-
and
this
can
be
addressed
through
lighting-
that's
actually
one
of
the
darkest
spots
of
the
park
on
the
back
side
between
the
wall
and
that
tree.
So
that's
something
we
can
solve,
but
it's
something
that
we're
you
know
considering
as
well.
E
Okay,
that's
great
and
the
lighting
are
you
talking
about
led
lights
and
you
hadn't
talked
too
much
about
fixtures
or
anything
yet
right,
yep.
A
The
fixtures
would
be
the
standard
fixtures
that
are
the
city
of
boston
fixtures
that
are
standard
throughout
boston
parks,
that
boston
street
lighting
owns
and
maintains,
but
they
are
led
fixtures.
C
C
If
we
don't
have
any
more
comments
or
any
more
questions,
let's
flip
to
the
the
last
page
here
we
are,
we
have
our
project
website
which
you
can
scan
the
qr
code
here
with
your
phone
or
you
can
copy
the
the
address
for
the
website,
and
I
have
a
lot
of
your
email
addresses
from
the
q
a
so
anybody
who
wants
me
to
email
them
directly
when
our
survey
is
up.
I
can
certainly
do
that.
C
Just
put
that
in
the
q,
a
if
you
haven't
already
and
otherwise
check
back
at
the
website,
I'll
everybody
who's
on
my
email
list.
If
you've
emailed
me
once
you're
going
to
stay
on
my
email
list,
so
don't
worry
about
that.
But
you
know
if
you
are
on
my
email
list,
I
will
let
you
know
when
our
third
community
meeting
is,
and
hopefully
we
will
see
all
of
you
guys
and
more
for
that.
C
Tell
all
of
your
friends
and
neighbors
just
get
as
much
of
the
word
out
as
possible,
because
you
know
we
want
to
bring
everybody
along
with
this
design
process
and
and
hearing
that
you
know,
seven
people
want
you
know,
basketball
or
something
at
the
third
meeting
is
difficult
to
accommodate.
So
we
want
to.
We
want
to
have
as
many
people
weigh
in
now
with
our
survey
as
possible.
So
allison
has
her
hand
up.
C
So
we
have
nine
attendees.
