A
Hello
and
welcome
this
meeting
is
being
recorded.
My
name
is
b
chatfield
and
welcome
to
tonight's
flaherty
playground.
Design
meeting
number
two
tonight's
meeting
is
going
to
be
interpreted
in
spanish
and
I
am
going
to
welcome
miguel
moreno
and
ursula,
and
miguel

works.
B
C
A
Thank
you
so
much
so
I
welcome
you
back
to
the
william
f
flaherty
playground
park,
design
meeting
number
two.
I
am
here
with
our
design
team
from
tara
inc.
That
is
kelly,
connolly,
kelly
ashton
and
jade
cummings,
and
we
are
thrilled
to
come
back
to
you
guys
tonight
with
some
design
concepts
based
on
the
feedback
and
direction
we've
heard.
So
if
you
could
flick
to
the
next
slide.
A
B
A
A
I
am
b
chatfield.
Many
of
you
have
already
emailed
me
so
we're
on
a
fairly
familiar
basis,
but
for
those
of
you
who
haven't
here's
my
email
address
abigail.chatfield,
I
never
go
by
abigail
only
b,
so
hope.
That's
not
weird!
Here's,
my
phone
number,
it's
my
direct
line.
If
you
have
any
questions
comments,
complaints
give
me
a
call.
We
can
talk
about
it.
Christine
brandeo
is
our
outreach
coordinator.
Steve
is
playing
her
role
tonight.
A
So
steve
is
helping
out
with
our
presentation,
which
is
great,
and
then
we
also
have
jade
cummings
and
kellyanne
connolly,
and
we
also
have
kelly
ashton
here
from
tara
inc
they're.
Our
design,
firm
and
tiffany
caballero
has
been
incredibly
helpful.
The
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
with
our
project.
A
So
next
slide
please
so
here
we
have
our
project
overview
next
slide.
Here
is
our
schedule
and
funding.
So
we
had
a
slight
issue
with
administrative
problems
and
the
contract,
which
is
why
it
took
us
quite
a
while
to
come
back
to
you
after
the
first
meeting,
which
was
frustrating.
But
here
we
are
january,
1st
or
january.
Sorry
was
our
first
meeting,
and
here
we
are
in
may
with
our
second
meeting,
so
the
schedule
will
be
a
little
bit
faster
after
this.
A
We
promise
and
we're
looking
to
come
back
to
you
in
the
summer,
potentially
in
july,
for
our
third
and
final
community
meeting.
This
means
in
fall.
We're
going
to
have
permitting
and
design
development
where
our
ideas
become
construction
documents
and
specifications,
and
then
we
would
go
out
to
bid
in
spring
of
2023
so
next
year.
A
Hopefully
we
would
have
completion
after
about
six
months
of
construction,
so
that
means
fall
would
be
the
anticipated
park
opening
of
next
year.
Our
our
estimated
cost
of
construction
at
this
point
would
be
roughly
1.5
million.
So
that's
great,
it's
not
a
huge
playground.
So
it's
it's
a
decent
budget
for
that
size,
but
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
we're
looking
at
that.
That
could
be
done
and
should
be
done.
So
we'll
have
to
use
it
judiciously
as
with
every
public
project.
Right
next
slide,
please.
A
We
have
to
balance
all
these
different
things
when
we
design
a
park,
we've
got
the
city
of
boston
priorities,
our
parks
and
recreation
goals,
community
input,
which
is
what
we're
doing
here
tonight,
safety
guidelines
and
regulatory
guidelines
which
we
always
consult,
and
then
we
bring
the
whole
thing
together.
We
ask
the
designers
to
bring
all
of
these
thoughts
together
and
create
a
beautiful,
brilliant
design.
So
we
next
slide.
Please,
we've
got
our
city
of
boston.
A
A
Further,
we
want
to
preserve
and
protect
existing
trees,
expand
usable
park
area
improve
universal
access
to
our
parks.
We
want
as
many
people
to
be
able
to
use
them
as
possible,
enhance
park,
visibility,
improve
access
to
parks
and
design,
flexible
and
multifunctional
park
spaces.
We
discovered
during
the
pandemic,
people
want
to
use
the
parks
for
a
lot
of
different
things,
and
we
want
to
encourage
that
right
as
long
as
everyone's
being
respectful
of
everyone
else.
A
D
Thank
you
b
good
evening,
everyone.
My
name
is
jade
cummings,
as
bee
mentioned
my
team
kelly
connolly
and
kelly
ashton.
We
have
a
landscape
architects
on
the
project
and
for
this
first
section
of
our
presentation,
again
we're
going
to
go
through
the
presentation
and
then
we're
going
to
open
it
up
for
questions
and
conversation.
D
The
first
part
of
our
presentation
is
to
review
the
existing
condition
summary
to
take
a
look
at
what
what
we
heard
from
you
after
the
first
community
meeting.
I
would
like
to
thank
everybody
for
the
time
that
you
took
the
feedback.
Was
it
was
invaluable
to
our
process?
So
thank
you
for
caring
about
this
place
if
only
every
park
was
as
cared
for,
so
we're
really
doubly
excited
about
this
project.
D
Given
the
community
attention
and
involvement,
and
after
we
discuss
what
we've
heard
from
the
community,
we
have
developed
three
concepts
to
review
with
you
to
give
you
a
sense
of
how
we
are
starting
to
envision
the
park,
then
we
will
share
imagery
at
this
point
community
meeting
two
we're
sharing
what
we
call
character
imagery,
so
the
imagery
that
you
will
see
these
are
not
specific
play
elements
that
we
are
necessarily
using.
This
is
a
general
feel
for
the
type
of
equipment
that
we
are
thinking
at
this
early
phase.
D
So
if
you
see
a
piece
and
you're
just
like,
I
think
that's
the
ugliest
thing,
I've
ever
seen,
don't
worry.
We
have
not
specified
anything,
and
this
is
why
our
q
a
today,
will
be
particularly
helpful
and
then
we
will
open
up
the
conversation
for
your
questions
so
jumping
in
for
those
of
you
who
attended
community
meeting
one
I'm
going
to
just
briefly
review
during
the
first
meeting.
D
D
Then
we
broke
the
site
into
three
primary
zones
that
helped
to
inform
all
of
these
diagrams
help
to
inform
our
ultimate
concept
development-
and
this
is
where
we
broke
the
space
the
park
down
into
this
primary
open
space
zone,
the
existing
playground
area
and
through
our
through
our
visits
and
conversations
research.
We
really
felt
that
the
park
edges
are
significant,
which
you
will
see
informed
our
ultimate
design
concepts.
D
And
then
we
took
our
initial
research
and
we
jumped
in
a
little
further
during
that
early,
existing
condition,
analysis
for
community
meeting
one
and
we
broke
down
the
open
space
even
further.
So
you
know
understanding
we
have
a
grass
mound.
We
have
a
steep
hill
during
the
first
community.
We
learned
that
this
granite
tree
stump
artwork,
circa
1993,
is
the
beloved.
We
heard
ladybug
rock
again
super
helpful
and
we
intend
to
maintain
that
element
in
the
final
design.
D
We
evaluated
the
playgrounds
a
little
more
closely
to
get
a
sense
of
what
type
of
use
is
currently
out
there.
And
again
many
of
you
responded
with
helpful
feedback
regarding
your
opinions.
Is
it
sufficient?
We've
heard
not
challenging
enough.
How
do
we
incorporate
play
for
a
greater
range
of
users
and
then
we?
D
The
first
question:
what
brings
you
to
the
park-
and
this
was
again
informative
to
our
process-
just
passing
through
meeting
people
relaxing
dog
walking
playground
play
so
really
it's
really
coming
through.
This
is
a
place
for
gathering
truly
a
community
place,
which
we
heard
during
the
comments,
the
question
and
answer
during
community
meeting
one
and
it
came
through
the
survey,
and
we
thought
this
was
fascinating-
that
travel
to
flaherty.
D
D
The
playground,
the
tot
lot,
the
open
space
and
the
existing
trees
really
interesting
to
see
that
open
space
and
the
existing
trees
ranked
so
highly
for
the
community,
which,
again,
as
you
will
see,
informed
our
concepts
as
we
move
into
the
concepts
you
will.
You
will
hear
again.
We
took
this
feedback
to
heart
and
it
it
it
informed
our
design
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
we
heard
again
in
the
community
meeting
and
through
the
survey
these
trees
are
absolutely
loved.
D
We
had
people
sending
us
photos
beautiful
photos
that
they
took
on
a
spring
day.
So
the
first
thing
we
did
because
we
do
understand
the
importance
of
the
trees
to
the
community.
I
mean
we
are
landscape,
architects.
We
we
love
them
too,
but
what
we
need
to
do
again.
As
I
mentioned
design
initial
design.
Drivers
for
us
are
always
accessibility,
safety,
security
and
visibility.
D
There
is
a
massive
root
zone
going
on
beneath
the
ground,
the
the
surface
of
the
ground,
and
if
there
is
disturbance
to
any
of
those
trees,
we
need
to
make
sure
early
on
that
we
are
removing
any
trees
that
could
be
potentially
hazardous
to
future
users,
and
we
also
want
to
know
at
this
phase
which
trees
out
there
are
potential
they're,
just
potentially
unsafe,
for
anyone
using
the
park.
This
could
be
due
to
internal
tree,
rot
that
people
may
not
readily
see
it
could
be
due
to
overhead
limbs
that
just
need
to
be
pruned
back.
D
D
She
was
absolutely
instrumental
in
helping
to
identify
which
trees
should
be
removed
at
this
point,
and
why-
and
we
also
met
with
the
city
of
boston
arborist,
so
we
have-
we
have
double
time
going
here
with
arborist
to
make
sure
any
any
tree
that
is,
that
needs
to
be
removed
from
the
park.
This
is
not.
This
is
not
our
judgment.
This
is
not
our
opinion,
but
it
was
really
the
advice,
feedback
and
direction
of
two
licensed
arborists
we've
met.
D
D
And
the
larger
green
canopies
are
the
existing
trees
and
wherever
there
we
don't
have
an
x,
those
trees
are
have
been
determined
to
be
safe
and
to
remain
in
in
connection
with
this
diagram,
we
really
evaluated
each
individual
tree
to
make
sure
no
stone
was
unturned
and
created
this
analysis
of
if
a
tree
or
a
series
of
trees
were
proposed
to
be
removed.
We
needed
to
know
why,
so
that
we
could
explain
to
you
why,
for
safety
purposes,
these
trees
excuse
me
will
need
to
be
removed.
D
So
once
we
had
a
sense
of
what
again,
this
groundwork
and
structure
for
the
trees
that
were
to
remain
this,
helped
to
inform
our
design
concepts,
which
is
the
next
section
of
this
presentation.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
three
concepts
that
I
will.
I
will
briefly
describe
and
then,
at
the
end
of
the
presentation,
happy
to
go
back
to
answer
any
questions
on
any
specific
questions.
D
What
is
important
to
note
is
with
all
three
concepts
again
from
a
from
a
designer
perspective
as
much
as
we
wish,
we
could
just
jump
to
what
is
beautiful
and
fun.
That
is
not
the
first
thing
that
we
can
jump
to.
We,
as
I've
said,
we
have
to
first
look
at
accessibility,
safety,
visibility
in
this
project,
we're
looking
at
the
existing
tree
structure.
We
have
to
also
look
at
the
utility
of
the
project
where
our
existing
utilities,
where
are
the
existing
grades,
we
are
always
dealing
with
a
budget.
D
We
are
dealing
with
program
requirements
from
the
city
of
boston,
from
boston
parks
from
the
community
and
we're
always
working
where
possible,
to
have
the
lightest
touch
possible
on
the
land
so
as
to
create
a
minimal
amount
of
disturbance,
because
when
it
comes
to
earth
work,
this
is
where
we
can
run
into
concerns
with
utilities,
and
this
is
where
a
lot
of
money
can
be
spent.
So
you
will
see
that
in
the
following
three
concepts,
we
really
looked
at
the
existing
plateaus
within
your
project
and
we've
we've.
D
We've
maintained
the
open
spaces,
the
existing
natural
grade
and
those
edges
that
I
had
mentioned
earlier
to
try
to
keep
as
much
in
place
as
possible
so
that
we
can
nimbly
work
under
the
canopy
within
the
root
zones
with
the
existing
grades.
So
that
said,
the
first
concept
again,
we
have
three
overall
concepts.
The
first
concept
that
we're
going
to
look
out
to
look
at
is
a
treehouse
concept,
and
I
say
treehouse
concept
this.
This
will
ultimately
be
as
literal
as
the
community
would
like
it
to
be.
D
It's
really
going
to
come
down
to
when
we
work
with
our
playground
representative.
They
can
help
us
in
selecting
specific
materials,
but
what
I
will
do
today
is,
I
will
walk
you
through,
basically
the
general
program
and
spatial
and
circulation
layout
again.
This
meeting
is
not
the
meeting
where
we
will
be
focused
necessarily
on
the
on
the
absolute
detail.
D
D
We
are
going
to
do
our
very
best
to
make
it
accessible
for
all
so
you'll
see
along
brookside
avenue,
we've
removed
the
stair
in
this
location
and
one
of
the
significant
changes
in
this
first
concept,
which
is
different
in
the
next
concept.
But
there
is
another
entry
in
this
location
that
exists
today.
D
Just
given
the
topographic
change,
you
will
see
in
the
next
concept.
If
we
want
to
have
universal
accessibility
from
this
corner,
it
will
require
handrails
and
ramping,
which
we
will
get
to
in
the
next
concept.
It's
just
if
anyone
is
entirely
upset
that
that
egress
is
missing.
Rest
assured,
it
is
not
missing
in
the
next
option,
the
same
so
all
of
the
egress
points
we
have
coming
into
the
park.
D
So,
with
regard
to
the
primary
play
zones
again,
keeping
in
mind
these
plateaus
and
natural
slopes
that
you
have
in
your
park,
we're
proposing
keeping
this
area
open
with
perhaps
multi-use
courts
and
those
will
be
conversations
we
have
with
you-
is
it?
Is
it
a
half
basketball
court,
four
square,
hop
scotch
and
then,
in
this
area,
we're
proposing
just
burning
up
the
grade
a
little
bit
and
having
a
simple
seat
wall
so
that
we
can
have
some
gathering
some
passive
seating
and
viewing
of
the
courts.
D
D
D
So
that
is
our
proposal
in
this
area
and
then,
as
we
come
up
to
the
upper
plateau,
where
we
have
the
existing
play
area,
is
we
access
the
site
from
the
south
we
are
proposing
and
again
this
will
all
be
dependent
upon
final
grading.
These
are
early
concepts,
but
we
were
thinking
that
it
it
would
be
fun
to
have,
as
you
walk
into
the
park
this.
D
This
almost
focal
like
higher
tree
house
element
where,
as
you
come
into
the
park
from
the
south,
there
could
be
a
second
level
that
goes
into
a
second
level
of
the
tree
house.
And
then,
if
you
go
down
a
grand
wide,
stair
or
for
accessibility
come
down
a
sloped
walk
which
would
not
require
handrails
into
this
area.
D
You
could
come
down
and
then
there'd
be
a
lower
first
floor
area,
so
the
kiddos
could
really
engage
on
different
levels
and
have
different
just
different
views
throughout
this
zone,
and
then
we
were
envisioning
with
the
treehouse
concept,
having
some
type
of
rope
element
for
climbing
for
muscle
strength.
Some
climbing
element
coming
off
of
the
tree
house
was
sort
of
that
concept
of
a
spider
web,
and
then
this
play
climbing
area
could
then
transition
into
a
zone
where
we
could
have
swings.
We
hear
swings
are
important.
D
We
could
have
a
slide
element
coming
off
of
this
treehouse,
as
illustrated
in
the
image
e
and
then
down
to
a
spray
pad
element
in
this
location.
In
the
spray
pad
element,
we
could
have
some
type
of
aesthetic,
with
these
little
spiders
that
spit
their
little
spider
spray
and
then
off
the
beaten
path.
D
So
that
is
the
treehouse
concept.
I
will
move
on
to
the
next
concept.
This
is
more
of
a
waterfall
concept,
so
you
will
see
similar
in
all
three
options:
we're
really
maintaining
the
edges.
We
intentionally
did
not
decide
to
open
up
cornwall
street
or
brookside
avenue
for
fear
of
destroying
the
tree
structure
again.
Maintaining
accessibility
at
all
egress
points
into
the
park
and,
as
I
had
mentioned,
we
have
maintained
the
entry
along
brookside
ave
in
this
south
western
location,
and
what
you
can
see
here
is
wherever
we
have
a
dark
red
dot.
D
But
we
did
hear
that
we
would
want
to
have
some
electrical
outlets,
great
idea
for
plugging
for
just
immediate
access
to
electricity.
But
if
we
had
this
meandering
slope
walk
up
through
this,
the
up
through
the
seating
gives
us
access
to
this
upper
play
area
where
we
could
have
a
spray
pad
the
spray
pad
would
be.
It
would
be
localized
to
this
area,
but
through
the
this,
the
color
of
the
surfacing
and
then
creatively
placed
boulders
down
this
slope.
D
This
is
in
this
option
we're
proposing
having
the
open
courts
in
this
location
again,
whether
it's
a
half
court
here
we're
proposing
four
square
and
then,
in
this
letter
b
this
zone,
this
might
be
a
nice
opportunity
again
to
utilize
some
slope.
We
could
put
a
net
an
anchored
net
or
some
anchor
ropes
just
to
give
the
kids
an
alternate
feeling
for
play
and
then
for
passive
seating
and
gathering
we're
proposing
a
picnic
area
in
this
zone.
D
Picnic
tables
again
in
this
area,
maintaining
the
ladybug
rock
with
seating
and
benches
bike
racks
throughout
the
final
concept,
we're
thinking,
clubhouse
again
utilizing
those
plateaus
that
we've
discussed
this
option.
We
go
back
to
eliminating
the
egress
point
along
brookside
avenue
and
really
trying
to
maximize
the
opportunity
to
eliminate,
eliminate
handrails
wherever
possible.
This
will
be.
These
will
all
be.
Grading
will
inform
the
final
design
for
sure,
but
we're
we're
hopeful
that
this
will
be
achievable.
D
Having
four
and
a
half
percent
sloped
walk
up
into
this
open
multi-use
court
zone
and
then,
in
this
section
a
as
illustrated
in
the
image
here
just
having
some
simple,
simple
seat,
walls
built
into
an
earthen
mound
again
for
seating,
viewing
gathering
watching
kids
playing
games
chatting
off
the
beaten
path.
You
know
foursquare
drop
shot.
D
Those
are
details
that
we
can
get
into
for
the
community
meeting
number
three
as
as,
hopefully
toward
the
end
of
this
meeting.
We
can
hear
from
you
what
your
preferences
are
regarding
the
conversation
this
evening,
and
then
we
can
start
to
talk
about
the
finer
details
continuing
on
with
the
concept.
D
This
is
a
little
different,
because
what
we're
proposing
is
with
this
clubhouse
idea,
having
more
of
a
central
clubhouse
gathering
is
illustrated
in
this
image
c,
where
perhaps
we
can
use
the
natural
change
of
grade
to
again
work.
Some
type
of
a
an
upper
level
and
a
lower
level-
maybe
it's
a
half
level
or
it's
something
you
can
climb
under
again,
that
will
be
determined
by
grading
and
then
this
lavender
colored
zone
working
more
of
an
organic
slope
play
zone
next
to
the
clubhouse
in
this
location.
D
And
then
again,
keeping
the
ladybug
rock
having
having
a
seating
area
in
this
location,
butterfly
houses
and
then
continuing
on
to
this
upper
play
area.
This
could
be
the
zone
again
where
we
have
the
swings,
the
spinners,
the
climbers
and
then
over,
where
we
have
letter
d.
This
is
where
we
could
have.
This
has
more
of
a
flower
plant
leaf
aesthetic
for
a
spray
pad
of
sorts
and
then
over
here,
where
we
have
the
existing
trees
in
this
existing
asphalt
walkway.
D
This
may
be
an
opportunity
to
incorporate
some
type
of
a
zipline
element,
more
of
a
linear
play
element.
But
again
I
will.
I
will
say
that,
with
the
stipulation
that
all
of
this
will
be
determined
when
we
start
working
with
the
playground
manufacturer,
because
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
can,
we
can
propose
elements
that
are
safe,
maintainable,
sustainable
and
work
for
the
project,
and
then,
in
this
concept
you
can
see
again.
D
D
Don't
you
know
any
feedback
that
we
hear
will
be
helpful
but,
as
I
mentioned
during
community
meeting
one
when
designing
playgrounds,
there's
just
there's
so
much
to
consider
safety,
accessibility
number
one
but
program
making
sure
we
have
program
to
engage
all
users
of
the
park
and
really
targeting
really
getting
kids
engaged.
We
so
it's
we
have
these
options
for
climbing
again
motion
strength,
fitness
swinging,
so
that
they
get
that
feeling
of
motion
and
movement
in
space.
D
Slope,
as
I
had
mentioned,
really
really
interesting
things
happening
with
slope
play.
I
have
to
say
it's.
It's.
I'm
really
excited
to
to
incorporate
elements
like
this.
If
you
are
excited
as
well
and
then
inclusivity,
it
just
drives
just
like
accessibility
safety.
It
just
drives
what
we
do
so,
wherever
we
end
up
whatever
concept
we
move
forward
with,
we
will
be
working
inclusive
elements
so
that
all
of
our
friends
can
can
enjoy
the
playground
equally,
be
it
through
communication
boards
just
accessible
accessible
pieces,
so
that
nobody
feels
left
out
spray.
D
We're
thinking
we
know
nearby.
There
is
a
spray
park,
so
we're
thinking
this.
Might
this
is
a
nice
opportunity
to
have
more
of
a
spray
pad?
We
know
that
with
climate
change
the
world
is
getting
warmer.
Cities
are
getting
hotter.
We
believe
it
would
be
nice
to
have
a
place
where
the
kids
can
cool
off
so
again,
just
some
imagery
to
help
stir
the
creative
juices.
D
D
D
So
that
said,
next
steps
we
look
forward
to
having
a
discussion
with
you
in
just
a
couple
of
minutes.
We,
as
b
mentioned
in
july.
We
are
hoping
to
take
the
comments
feedbacks
from
today
to
come
back
to
you
with
a
refined
design,
community
meeting
three
fall
2022
permitting
design
development
and
the
construction
documents
permitting
is
just
absolutely
important
for
any
project
in
the
city
of
boston.
A
Okay,
I
think
sorry
don't
jump
right
in
here,
but
if
we
could
go
back
a
couple
slides
and
then
I
think
we
can
have
the
conversation
and
then
at
the
end,
we'll
sort
of
recap
with
all
of
the
the
links
and
stuff
like
that
yeah.
Thank
you
guys
so
much
for
that
wonderful,
thorough
presentation.
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
fantastic
comments
going
on
in
the
chat,
so
everyone's
been
super
active.
That's
that's
great.
A
I
think
there
there
are
a
number
of
questions
having
to
do
with
dogs
and
dog
walks
and
dog
parks,
and
it
definitely
was
a
use
that
was
reported
for
the
park
and
it
was
sort
of
in
the
middle
right
like
if
we,
if
we
sort
of
go
back,
it
was
like
okay,
we
like
it
for
the
playground
we
like
walking
through
there
dog
walkers
people
walking
their
dogs.
I
think
was
sort
of
the
number
four
use
and
people
certainly
emailed
me
with
their
interest
and
support
of
a
dog
park.
A
Our
concern
parks
department
perspective
here
is
that
the
size
for
a
dog
park
should
be
about
10
000
feet
and
we've
been
working
on
this
knowledge
over
the
years,
getting
it
wrong
in
some
places,
getting
it
right
in
other
places,
and
so,
if
you're
looking
at
the
required
size
of
about
10
000
feet,
that's
about
20
of
the
playground
area,
the
park
area.
We
have
a
park
here,
that's
1.3
acres.
A
A
I
think
there's
other
questions
in
here
about
spray
spray
area,
and
this
is
good
and
I
think
you
know
we
could
certainly
open
this
up
to
conversation.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
me
talking
here.
There
is
a
spray
pad.
That
is
very
big.
That
is
like
a
block
away
and
we're
totally
aware
of
that.
We
thought
perhaps
it
would
make
sense
to
include
one
here
if
it's
something
that
everyone's
interested
in
seems
like
there's
some
interest,
there's
some
not
interested.
A
E
Hi,
so
I
am
the
opposer
to
the
spray
park,
of
course,
only
because
there's
one
right
around
the
corner
from
where
we
live
or
on
green
street,
that
is
rather
large
and
is
always
crowded.
It's
a
beautiful
space,
but
I
believe
that
it's
operated
by
dcr,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
and
they
actually
employ
someone
to
keep
that
space
clean,
because
there
are
a
number
of
people
that
come
on
the
weekend
and
on
the
weekdays
and
especially
when
it's
hot,
and
so
it's
great
that
they
employ
someone.
E
A
G
H
H
Other
kind
of
things
is
nice:
just
don't
really
need
a
basketball
group
and
in
terms
of
the
water
feature,
so
yeah
there's
a
lot
of
water
space
around.
We
would
not
object
to
having
a
small
water
feature,
but
we
definitely
would
not
be
interested
in
something
large.
I
do
like
that.
These
water
features
are
very
different
than
we
have
in
the
neighborhood
kind
of
like
the
overhead
spider,
or
I
see
a
bunch
of
different
ideas
that
are
very
different
from
the
kind
of
water
features
we
have
in
the
neighborhood.
H
F
A
Awesome,
that's
super
helpful,
shulman
family.
I
think
something
that
you're
already
doing
just
instinctively
is
something
that
I
want
to
just
flag
for
everyone
that,
like
the
goal
here,
is
not
necessarily
to
pick
one
design
that
we
love
and
we're
going
with
unless
everyone
feels
absolutely
like.
Oh
my
god,
one
concept
is
far
better
than
you
know:
that's
fine!
If
that
happens,
but
ideally
we
can
pick
and
choose
elements
and
things
from
each
design
that
we
like
and
then
we're
going
to
create
a
design
that
responds
to
those
different
preferences.
G
G
I
Can
I
give
him
a
couple
things,
so
that
was
awesome,
so
there's
a
zip
line
in
jackson
square,
which
does
which
is
short
and
doesn't
get
a
ton
of
use
at
the
playground
behind
the
train
station.
So
that's
a
point
of
comparison,
which
is
fairly
close
by
by
contrast,
the
zip
line
by
the
esplanade
in
that
park.
There
gets
a
ton
of
use
and
is
long
and
exciting
and
fast.
I
So,
just
like
thinking
about,
what's
being
put
there,
my
main
comment-
and
I
think
that's
really
cool
like
these-
these
presentations,
it's
just
the
overall
aesthetic
of
what's
being
put
in,
so
I'm
seeing
a
lot
of
features.
I
know
we're
not
supposed
to
get
caught
up
in
individual
features,
but
I'm
seeing
a
lot
of
plastic,
metal
and
rubber
being
introduced
to
a
mostly
natural
space,
and
I
don't
think
it
has
to
be
that
way.
A
So
those
are
great
comments
and
you're
right.
You
know
the
the
things
that
we're
showing
here
are
a
little
bit
more
off
the
shelf
and
more,
you
know,
produced
materials,
and
I
think
the
challenge
as
far
as
budget
and
maintenance
goes
are
budget
and
maintenance,
which
is
that
custom
items
are
really
difficult
to
maintain,
and
so
we
need
to
understand
priorities.
If
there
is,
you
know,
I
don't
we
can't
outfit
the
entire
playground
with
custom
pieces.
Unfortunately,
you
know
like
here's
like
the
whole
wood.
A
You
know
I
I'm
familiar
with
the
the
cambridge
common
playground.
My
daughter
loves
it.
I
don't
know
how
cambridge
handles
their
maintenance.
They
must,
I
don't
know
they're
cool
that
way,
but
I
just
know
that
our
guys
have
a
tough
time
as
far
as
like
handling
custom
items.
So
we
can
do
something
right,
but
we
can't
do
everything
that
way.
A
So
I
think
if
you
guys
can
give
us
feedback
as
to
like
you
know,
if
we
have
like
the
wooden
frame
for
like
a
tire
swing
or
like
a
climbing
structure,
that's
wood,
materials
or
or
if
you're
like.
We
only
want
one
thing
and
it
must
be
wood
and
we
don't
want
anything
else,
because
that's
gonna
like
mess
up
the
aesthetic
like
I
don't
know
if
you're
gonna
get
like
a
total
big
group
of
people
feeling
that
way,
but
like
we.
A
If
we
could
hear
that
too,
you
know
it's
like
we
just
sort
of
need
to
understand
the
priorities
there
because
yeah
it
just
it
has
to
do
with
budget
and
maintenance,
and
you
know
how
much
we
can
afford
to
spend
like
custom,
designing
a
piece
and
then
is
it
going
to
last,
like
10
years
before
pieces
start
breaking
off
and
people
start
calling
311,
because
kids
are
getting
splinters
and
our
guys
are
like.
I
don't
know
what
to
do.
I
just
have
to
like
come
and
take
it
away,
and
that
sucks
you
know.
A
J
Hi,
this
is
actually
jana
but
franklin's
over
there.
I
wanted
to
second
that
I
would
really
appreciate
natural
materials
as
much
as
we
can
afford
and
avoiding
plastic,
and
also,
I
don't
have
the
numbers,
but
the
days
above
90
in
boston
are
forecast
to
increasingly
increase
they're
gonna
be
many,
and
it
is
not
fun
to
go.
Hang
on
taya.
J
It
is
not
fun
to
go
to
a
park
that
has
nowhere
to
cool
off.
We
live
up
by
the
walnut
street
park,
which
has
a
tiny
little
spray
element.
It's
not
a
big
draw
right.
It's
not
like
the
green
street
where
people
drive
there
to
hang
out,
so
it
doesn't
cause
a
lot
of
traffic
or
noise,
but
it
is
really
really
welcome
when
it's
hot
and
it's
going
to
be
hot,
so
much
more
than
we're
used
to.
J
So
I
just
want
us
to
make
this
climate
resilient,
considering
how
it's
no
fun
to
play
when
it's
97
degrees,
if
you
can't
spray
and
and
besides
that
all
these
look
super
awesome
and
maintaining
as
much
tree
cover
and
if
you
take
trees
out
putting
them
in
putting
in
ones
that
will
replace
it.
That
are
going
to
survive.
Climate
change
also.
A
That's
a
that's
a
great
point.
I
was
someone
else
put
that
in
the
chat
earlier
and
I'd
had
written
in
my
notes
here.
Like
comment
on
the
tree
removal,
we
would
be
planting
new
trees,
certainly
to
replace
the
ones
that
we
would
remove
and
beyond.
You
know,
I
think,
numbers
wise
it's
kind
of
like
where
we
can
fit
them.
We
would
love
to
add
them.
A
One
thing
that
I
was
thinking
of
while
you're
talking
is
like
there
are
these
things
called
misting
posts
which
they
usually
have
near
like
workout
areas
that
cool
you
off
without
being
like
necessarily
like
a
play
feature.
If
that's
something
that
like
would
be
interesting
here
and
beneficial,
that's
something
we
could
consider
too.
I
don't
know
just
throwing
that
out.
There.
B
A
K
I
did
so
saying
that
I
was
in
the
park
during
the
presentation,
so
I
got
to
look
around
and
see
kind
of
get
an
idea
of
where
everything
would
be,
and
that
was
really
cool.
So
what
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
I
really
like
the
treehouse
concept.
I
really
like
the
level
idea.
I
think
that
walking
in
at
that
upper
level
and
it
being
integrated,
is
really
cool.
I
think
that
the
concept
be
the
waterfall,
because
I'm
one
of
one
of
the
dog
people
here.
K
K
K
So
I'm
a
dog
person
and
I
live
next
door,
and
I
think
that
that
was
something
that
you
took
into
consideration
was
that
where
the
houses
are
maybe
shouldn't
be
where
the
really
loud
stuff
is.
So
I
like
that
in
concept
a,
but
I
was
wondering
what
the
music
element
was
in
that
I
don't
know
if
I
missed
that.
A
That
is
a
good
question
and
I
think
you
asked
that
in
the
chat
too,
and
I
was
like
good
call-
we
could
talk
about
this
because
I
don't
think
we
had
any
specific
ideas
or
images
that
we
showed
for
it.
But
this
is
one
of
those
play
items
that
can
have
like
a
range
of
things
where
you
can
have
like
metal
drums
that
might
be
a
little
loud
or
you
can
have
like.
You
know
those
xylophone
kind
of
things
you
can
have
things
that
are
sort
of
incorporating
sound.
A
You
know
like
a
sound
like
it's
like
a.
It
looks
basically
like
a
giant
contact
lens
and
there
are
two
of
them
and
one
person
over
here
speaks
into
one
and
it
bounces
the
sound
over
there
there's
a
whole
range
of
things,
and
it's
sort
of
a
question
of
like
is
noise,
an
issue.
If
so,
we
could
do
quieter
things.
Maybe
we
locate
these
things
in
an
area
of
the
park
where
noise
is
less
of
an
issue.
K
A
That
was
funny
sorry,
your
dog
is
very
cute,
but
trying
to
talk
through
that,
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
that
either.
I
was
also
responding
in
the
chat
to
omar
having
to
do
with
maintenance
on
this
park,
and
I
I'm
sorry
if
it's
the
feeling
that
the
maintenance
is
is
low
but,
as
I'm
sure,
you're
probably
used
to
me
hearing,
we,
we
have
a
lot
of
parks
for
very
few
guys
and
they
are
they
try
and
do
what
they
can.
A
That
kind
of
thing,
but
as
far
as
like
what
our
guys
will
be
able
to
maintain
going
forward
in
a
way
that
like
looks
nice
and
is
safe
and
things
don't
get
too
overgrown,
our
our
strong
suit
is
grass
and
trees.
So
that
is
something
that
we
would
also
like
to
hear
from
you
guys
if
there's-
and
it
really
has
to
be
like
an
organized
group
that
is
like
we
are
horticulturalists
and
we'd
love
to
have
an
area
that
you
know
showcases
some
nice
fall
color
or
something
like
that.
A
L
G
G
L
I
I
agree:
there's
a
shortage
of
slides
there,
but
personally
I
like
concept
a,
I
think.
It's
the
best
featured
one,
and
I
want
to
second
everything
that
the
shulman
family
and
jacob
and
caleb
said
so.
I
I
don't
want
to
repeat
anything
here,
but
I
did
have
a
couple
questions.
I
did
one
in
the
chat
with
regards
to
the
south
exit.
L
Are
you
going
to
be
connecting
the
park
to
hackly
place
or
will
it
be
connected
as
it
is
today
to
the
brookside
health
clinic
parking
lot
on
its
way
out,
which
is
kind
of
a
strange
way
that
it's
connected?
I
guess
it's
just
the
natural
way
that
it
got
connected
and
I
also
am
wholly
opposed
to
sound
type
features
in
the
park.
I
I
want
to
express
that
as
well
and
yeah.
I
the
the
question
about
maintenance.
L
I
think
that
should
be
something
that
needs
emphasis
other
than
the
actual
technical
maintenance
of
the
features
which
I
agree
if
they're
self-self-maintaining
as
long
as
possible-
that's
great.
But
if
people
can't
walk
through
the
park,
that's
difficult
and
yeah,
I
I
also
you
know,
I
think,
there's
kind
of
a
used
question
about
this
park
with
off
leash
dogs
and
so
on.
L
A
Thank
you,
omar.
I
don't
we
don't
have
any
plans
to
relocate
the
entrance
to
the
park
by
the
health
center.
I
agree.
It's
certainly
not
an
ideal
coming
and
going
experience
up
there,
but
as
far
as
the
park's
property
line,
we
we
can't
really
sort
of
extend
things
or
relocate
that,
but
that's
an
interesting
idea,
we'll
look
at
the
plans
and
we'll
sort
of
see
like
if
there's
any
flexibility,
but
also,
let's
think
about
off-leash
stuff
in
the
park.
Dogs
are
not
legally
supposed
to
be
off
leash.
A
So
if
you
see
something
nicely
say
something
that's
another
thing
with
dog
parks,
I
guess
also,
if
you
enclose
the
space,
I
did
a
big
tour
of
dog
parks
today
in
the
city
just
to
be
prepared
for
this
meeting,
and
the
funny
thing
that
I
noted
was
that,
like
the
dog
runs,
are
really
not
that
used
like
all.
I
went
to
a
couple
different
parks
today
and,
like
no
dogs
were
in
the
dog
run,
they
were
all
in
the
rest
of
the
park
and
they
were
all
on
leashes.
A
A
Well,
I
I
kind
of
like
that
space
over
there
because,
like
why,
wouldn't
you
you
know,
like
the
dogs
like
it
too,
it's
grassy,
it's
soft,
so
my
suggestion
for
this
park
would
be
that,
like
if
dog
walkers
still
want
to
come
to
this
park,
that's
cool
put
your
dogs
on
a
leash
right,
be
a
good
citizen,
but
if
that
we
have
a
sort
of
sequestered
area,
it
doesn't
function
well
for
long.
So
there
are
other
elements
in
the
chat:
yeah
dogs,
don't
like
the
gravel.
M
M
I
think
the
overarching
theme
that
I've
noticed
is
you
know
how
can
we
increase
activation
of
this
relatively
small
partial
parcel
of
land?
You
know
comparatively
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
great
intentionality
in
highlighting
that
activation,
namely
what
jumps
out
to
me
is
utilizing
the
slope
as
just
rather
than
wasted
space
activating
that
for
activity.
M
I'd
like
to
commend,
you
know
being
explicit
with
that
and
then
also
challenge
moving
forward.
You
know:
how
can
how
can
these
designs
explicitly
increase
activation
not
only
from
different
age
groups
or
accessibility,
levels
or
accessibility
options,
but
can
the
different
spaces
be
served
two
purposes
based
on
who's
using
it?
Can
it
be
a
play
area
for
children
during
the
day
and
potentially
can
that
same
space
be
used
for
adults
or
families
in
the
evening
for
possibly
a
small
concert
or
something
with
a
with
a
pavilion
respecting
the
the
square
footage
limitations?
M
That
is
boston
in
general?
You
know:
can
we
create
a
space
that
has
multi-use,
depending
on
age
group
or
time
of
day,
for
it
and
would
love
the
kind
of
explicit
connecting
of
those
dots
as
we're
presenting
these
plans
just
to
to
help
us
non
non-professional
planners?
You
know
see
the
bigger
picture
same
thing
with
winter
use,
so
this
park
is
here
year
round.
A
lot
of
the
overarching
theme
in
this
particular
presentation
has
been
summer
spring.
M
M
I
have
no
no
experience
in
this,
so
it
may
be
a
lofty
goal,
but
if
that's
possible,
I
would
love
those
dots
to
be
connected
in
the
presentations
and
then
the
last
thing
I'll
try
to
be
concise.
It's
a
fascinating
kind
of
discussion
from
a
climate
change
perspective,
we're
dealing
with
kind
of
acute
fires,
that
is
heat
islands
and
such
as
we're
having
this
conversation
about
water
features.
M
However,
do
we
really
want
to
incentivize
people
driving
their
internal
combustion
engine
vehicles
to
this
place?
You
know
further,
you
know
exacerbating
potentially
the
more
chronic
issue
and
I
think,
that's
probably
an
academic
discussion,
but
you
know
keeping
that
big
picture
in
mind,
while
also
respecting
the
the
very
real
kind
of
acute
issues
that
are
affecting
inequitably.
A
Those
are
some
great
points
and
I
think
overlapping
uses
and
trying
to
incorporate
all
of
the
users
of
the
park
at
different
times
and
different
ways.
You
made
a
lot
of
other
good
points
as
well.
I'm
not
gonna,
try
and
recap
that,
but
thank
you.
Those
are
some
great
comments
and
I
think,
looking
at
the
chat
as
well,
there
are
a
lot
of
other
people
who
are
sort
of
sounding
off
based
on
that
so
great
contribution.
Thank
you.
A
Wow
cool,
I'm
shocked
all
right,
it's
7
17.!
So
if
we
want
to,
we
can
end
this
early.
We
had
we
had
until
7
30
sort
of
logged
logged
in
our
in
our
schedules,
but
we
can.
We
can
move
ahead
here
in
the
presentation
a
bit.
This
is
a
little
parks
department
plug
for
the
open
space
and
recreation
plan.
This
is
a
city-wide
effort.
We
are
trying
to
figure
out
what
you
guys
like
what
you
hate,
what
you
need,
what
we're
not
fulfilling
what
we
are
fulfilling
this
is.
A
We
are
doing
the
open
space
plan
for
the
next.
I
think
it's
five
years,
every
five
years.
We
do
this.
So
if
you
could,
please
fill
out
our
survey
for
that.
That
would
be
fantastic.
That
will
help
the
parks
department
as
a
whole.
Try
and
do
a
better
job
right.
This
recording
will
be
provided,
I'm
just
seeing
tracy's
question
in
the
chat
after
this
meeting.
We
it
takes
a
couple
days,
but
this
recording
will
be
uploaded
to
our
project
page
and
I'm
going
to
put
the
project
page.
A
I'm
going
to
write
it
correctly
this
time,
because
the
first
time
I
didn't
that
was
embarrassing,
boston.gov
forward
slash
flaherty
there
we
go.
Let
me
spell
that
right,
flaherty
playground,
okay.
So
in
a
couple
days
I
will
also
send
out
an
email
blast
when
these
things
have
been
uploaded,
but
we've
got.
We
also
have
a
survey
that
we
would
love
for
you
to
fill
out
for
this
part.
If
we
could
go
to
the
next
page
there
we
go
okay,
so
our
survey
is,
we've
got
the
address
there.
A
If
you
want
to
take
a
photo
of
it,
we've
got
the
qr
code
as
well,
and
this
is
also
going
to
be
accessible
via
our
project
page.
So
if
you
go
in,
you
can
do
the
survey
and
the
meeting
you
know
like
provide
your
comments
in
both
venues.
That's
great!
If
you
could
forward
the
survey
around
to
people
who
didn't
make
it
to
the
meeting
that
would
be
huge.
A
A
A
So
we'll
do
two
weeks
from
that
date
in
order
to
give
people
enough
time
so
yeah
we're
gonna,
take
in
all
the
feedback
from
all
the
different
areas
and
then
we
sort
of
go
dark
for
a
little
while
and
pencils
working
hardly
working
hard,
not
hardly
sorry,
and
then
we're
gonna
have
our
third
community
meeting,
hopefully
in
july,
and
I
will
email
everybody
about
that
and
I
just
wanna.
Thank
you
guys
again.
This
has
been
a
tremendously
helpful,
very
supportive
group.
I
just
I'm
really
grateful
for
that.
So
thank
you.
