Description
Ryan Playground Community Meeting - 12-10-20
A
This
is
the
first
of
three
meetings
that
we're
going
to
be
having
for
this
project,
and
this
is
really
to
talk
to
you
in
the
community
and
understand
how
you
use
the
playground,
what
you'd
like
to
see
done
with
it,
what
you'd
like
to
see
remain
and
all
of
the
information
that
you
have
for
us
who
uses
it
etc.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
coming
tonight.
We
understand
this
is
taking
time
out
of
your
schedule,
so
we
really
appreciate
it.
A
A
A
So
after
tonight's
meeting,
we
hope
that
you
will
continue
to
give
us
feedback
by
filling
out
a
survey,
we're
going
to
give
you
the
link
to
that
at
the
end
of
the
presentation,
but
that's
really
valuable.
You
can
share
that
with
your
friends
and
neighbors.
It
gives
us
a
lot
of
information
to
go
off
of.
We
collect
some
information
tonight,
but
this
allows
us
to
reach
other
people
beyond
who's,
just
able
to
attend
this
meeting.
A
So
it's
really
really
helpful
for
us
to
gather
information
to
see
what
you
want
to
be
done
with
this
park.
So
if
we
have
any
elected
officials
here
tonight,
we
don't
have
any.
Maybe
yet,
but
we
will
welcome
them
if
they,
if
they
show
up
so
right
now,
just
to
give
you
guys
a
sense,
we've
got
17
people
in
our
audience,
so
part
of
this
zoom
webinar
is.
Is
you
guys
who
are
attending
the
meeting
can't
see
each
other?
So
I'd
just
like
to
let
you
know,
we've
got.
A
A
Sort
of
the
schedule
then
address
the
presentation
sort
of
what
we've
looked
at,
what
we
can
tell
from
the
existing
conditions
and
and
then
sort
of
talk
about
inspiration
for
what
well,
you
know
what
we've
considered,
what
we
see
in
other
playgrounds,
what
you
might
like
to
see,
and
then
we
have
our
community
feedback
and
discussion
and
then
closing
remarks
and
next
steps
next
slide.
So
I
am
b
chatfield
project
manager.
Here
is
all
of
my
contact
information.
A
So,
please,
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions,
if
you
want
to
get
in

here's
my
email,
my
phone
number
I'll,
do
my
best
to
get

to
you.
As
soon
as
I

information
as
well
outreach
coordinator,
christine
wilson
and
aaron

I
will
convey
any
questions
to
them,
so
please,
I'm
I'm
the
main
point
of
contact
here
and
then
we're
also
working
with
patrick
fendell,
who
was
our
office
of
neighborhood
services,
rep
who's,
fantastic.
A
So
our
project
schedule.
This
is
our
first
community
meeting.
So
this
is
where
I
said
before
we're
coming
to
you
to
say
how
do
you
use
this
place?
And
what
would
you
really
like
to
see
here?
This
is
the
first
of
three
meetings.
So
first
one
is
now
in
december,
the
second
one
we're
going
to
come
back
to
you
with
a
few
concept,
alternatives
which
is
sort
of
like
we're
thinking
this.
What
do
you
think
about
that?
What
do
you
like
about
this
design?
A
That's
where
we
that's
more
of
a
design,
intensive
meeting
and
then
the
last
one
that
we're
gonna
be
coming
to
you
with
meeting
three
is.
This
is
what
we
think
the
preferred
design
is
based
on
your
feedback
from
meeting
two.
What
do
you
guys
think?
Did
we
get
it
right?
If
we
get
it
right,
then
we
move
forward
into
construction
documents,
and
that
means
we
would
be
starting
construction,
late
fall
of
2021
and
hopefully
opening
summer
of
2022,
which
would
mean
that
hopefully,
the
spray
equipment
would
be
available
for
hot
summer
time.
A
So
the
way
parks
approaches
design,
it's
really
sort
of
four
main
ingredients
that
we're
looking
at,
and
I
sort
of
think
of
this
four
main
ingredients
and
the
chef
is
the
design
group
right.
So
we
have
the
city
of
boston
priorities
that
we
have
to
take
into
account.
We
have
safety
guidelines
and
regulatory
guidelines
that
are
always
part
of
everything
that
we
do.
We
have
community
input,
which
is
another
highly
important
piece
of
what
we
do,
and
then
we
have
the
parks
and
recreation
goals.
A
You
know
what
we
have
as
our
own
agency
and
we
bring
that
all
together.
The
design
team
adds
their
magic
to
it
and
we
come
up
with
a
park
design
next
slide,
please.
So
the
city
of
boston
priorities
are
expanding.
Walkable
access
to
parks,
boston
already
does
a
fantastic
job
with
this
with,
I
think
every
resident
is
within
a
10-minute
walk
to
a
park
and
we're
always
trying
to
make
that
better.
A
We're
trying
to
address
equity
as
well
upgrading
playgrounds
and
creating
playgrounds
and
neighborhoods
that
haven't
had
them
for
a
while
or
don't
have
them
right
now
trying
to
improve
climate
resilience.
So
you
know
with
increased
rainfall
and
different
types
of
storms
hitting
the
coast,
we're
going
to
be
seeing
a
change
in
what
our
environment
is
experiencing
and
so
trying
to
increase,
reduce
impervious
surfaces,
so
reducing
the
amount
of
paved
surfaces,
so
the
ground
can
absorb
rain
water
trying
to
increase
trees.
A
All
of
those
are
really
important:
increasing
sort
of
community
health
and
community
building
as
well
sort
of
creating
spaces
for
the
public
so
that
they
can
get
to
know
each
other.
You
know
creating
communities
in
that
way,
so
the
parks
and
recreation
goals
accessible
and
available
to
all
creating
spaces
where
we
have
these
spaces,
where
everybody
can
get
to
and
interact
a
diverse,
balanced
and
efficient
mix
of
uses
within
those
spaces.
So
not
only
is
that
within
one
park
we
don't
want
two
sets
of
swings,
but
it's
sort
of
like.
A
If
you
have
one
group
of
activities
in
a
park,
you
don't
want
to
recreate
what
that
park
down
the
street.
Has
you
know
so
we
try
and
take
a
big
picture.
Look
at
the
area
as
well:
we
try
and
create
meaningful
and
inclusive
community
engagement.
So
that's
we
reach
out
to
you
and
we
try
and
get
as
many
of
you
to
give
us
community
feedback
about
what
you
want
to
see,
create
adaptive
and
resilient
landscapes
and
promote
connections
as
well.
A
B
Thank
you
b,
so
my
name
is
christine
wilson,
I'm
a
landscape
architect
with
copley,
wolf
design
group
and
I'm
so
thrilled
to
be
here
tonight.
I
wish
I
could
be
with
you
in
person,
but
hello,
virtually
I'm
going
to
take
us
through
what
the
design
team
has
kind
of
already
looked
at
as
far
as
assessing
the
site,
looking
at
the
existing
conditions
and
then
I'll
be
talking
about
some
playground,
inspiration
before
we
open
it
up
for
a
general
discussion
with
you
all
so
first,
where
is
this
playground
located?
B
B
So
let's
take
a
look
at
like
a
half
mile
radius
around
the
on
the
playground,
so
a
10
15
minute
walk
to
the
north.
We
have
columbus
park
andrew
square,
it's
actually
a
little
further
north
kind
of
the
core
of
it.
We
have
new
market.
We
have
uppam's
corner
further
west
and
jones
hill
and,
of
course,
savann
hill
to
the
south
east
and
then
straight
east
is,
is
boston,
high
s,
boston,
college,
high
school
and
then
out
in
the
peninsula,
umass
boston.
B
B
B
Also
as
far
as
like
environmental
considerations
is
storm.
Water,
flooding
and
sea
level
rise.
This
is
tucked
inland
a
little
bit
so
that
kind
of
brighter
blue
color.
You
see
that's
anticipated
sea
level
rise,
50
years
from
now,
which
is
important
as
far
as
planning
purposes
and
then
also
looking
at
kind
of
storm
water
flooding
inland.
What
this
site
in
particular
is
a
little
bit
of
a
high
spot,
but
of
course
you
know,
as
bee
kind
of
hit
on
the
pervious
surfaces,
be
able
to
treat
storm
water.
B
You
know
rain
water
falling
directly
on
the
site,
letting
it
infiltrate
into
the
ground
helps
reduce
the
amount
of
stormwater
that's
going
into
the
the
system.
You
know
that
that's
being
contributed
in
the
system
that
could
carry
plumes
out
into
the
nearby
ocean
so
again,
tree
canopy
and
pervious
surface
is
notable
in
this
area
due
to
kind
of
the
the
urban
condition
it's
in.
B
B
This
map
here
showing
the
bus
lines
in
yellow
route
18,
goes
up
and
down
dorchester
avenue
and
then
there's
commuter
rails
to
the
east
and
to
the
west
with
stops
at
you
know,
jfk
umass
and
over
at
ebam's
corner
and
then
there's
the
red
line,
which
is
that
jfk,
umass
stop
and
saving
hill.
You
could
get
off
there
and
walk
to
the
park
blue
bike.
You
could
bike
too.
B
B
So
going
back
site
history.
What
was
the
site
before
it
was
a
playground?
It
was
actually
a
school
site.
It
was
first
built
in
1873
to
early
1880s
and
it
was
first
the
everett
primary
school.
Then
it
became
the
harborview
street
school,
still
primary
elementary
education
and
then
eventually
it
was
renamed
to
the
coral
etheridge
school,
and
that
was
named
after
one
of
the
the
assistants
who
worked
at
the
school,
and
so
you
can
see
it's
the
same
parcel
on
the
corner
of
dorchester
and
harborview
street.
B
shortly
after
that
it
was-
became
a
playground
site
and
it
was
named
after
robert
f
ryan,
who
was
a
world
war
ii
vet
and
then
became
the
commander
of
vfw
post
760,
and
he
was
known
for
his
community
activism
and
for
his
work
in
support
of
improved
playgrounds
for
neighborhood
children,
and
I
read
that
right
off
the
plaque.
That's
at
the
site
today
by
the
main
entrance,
so
the
playground
has
gone
through
a
number
of
improvements
and
iterations
the
last
one.
B
The
last
kind
of
redesign
of
it
took
place
in
2004,
and
so
that's
what
we're
looking
at
today.
If
you
go
out
to
this
site
here,
it
is
and
around
it
on
dorchester
avenue
kind
of
across
the
street
from
the
main
entrance.
There
is
on
the
corner
a
business
plaza
with
a
taylor,
barber
art
shop,
it's
a
bunch
of
little
businesses
in
that
building
and
then
up
above
that
dorchester
market
and
tom
english's
bar
those
have
come
down
recently
for
a
new
mixed
use.
Development.
B
B
So
talking
about
how
to
get
there,
we
we
went
over
kind
of
the
bus
stops
and
the
blue
line.
I
mean
not
the
blue
line.
Sorry,
the
blue
bikes.
This
is
that
blue
bike
stop
right
outside
that
main
entrance
on
dorchester
avenue.
Dorchester
avenue
is
two-way.
It's
a
main
street
with
street
parking
on
either
side.
The
the
side
streets
are
all
one
ways
and
these
arrows
show
which
direction
they're
moving
in.
B
Tree
health,
we're
working
with
a
licensed,
arborist
and
they've
gone
out,
and
they
have
assessed
the
health
of
the
trees,
so
the
ones
in
green
there
are
in
great
condition
the
ones
in
yellow,
not
so
much
and
the
ones
in
red
are
really
kind
of
poor
health.
So
we're
we're
looking
at
that,
as
well
as
looking
at
the
different
types
of
species.
B
And
then
pervious
surfaces
this
is
highlighting
all
the
kind
of
soft
scape
areas
where
water
can
kind
of
run
through
down
into
the
soil
versus
runoff.
You
know
to
the
storm
drain
and
right
now,
we're
looking
at
about
38.2
percent
of
the
site
is
pervious
and
just
using
that
as
a
metric
as
we
move
forward
into
the
design
work
lighting
so
for
lighting
on
dorchester
avenue,
here's
a
photo
right
here
at
the
top
left.
B
There
are
post
post-top
lights,
that
line
dorchester
avenue
and
then
harbor
view
street
also
has
a
couple
street
lights
and
then
within
the
park
there
are
some
really
tall
post
tops
with
the
new
boston
standard,
led
lights
and
they
provide
pretty
great
late
light.
You
can
see
here
into
the
space,
but
you
know
there
are
some
spots
around
the
perimeter
and
such
that
are
not
as
well
lit
so
we'll
be
looking
at
street
lighting.
I
mean
sorry,
not
straight
lane
sight
lighting
as
we
move
forward.
B
Programming,
what's
what's
going
on
in
the
playground
today,
so
right
here,
the
main
entry
on
this
corner,
the
southwest
corner,
that's
the
spot
where
they
have
the
holiday
tree
this
time
of
year.
I
don't
know
if
anyone's
seen
it
recently,
then
there's
the
flagpole,
which
the
spot
is
kind
of
right
behind
the
canopy.
In
this
area
there
are
a
couple
picnic
tables,
they're
blue,
around
the
site
and
then
the
two
to
five
plague
structure.
B
So
this
is
the
the
the
place
structure
for
those
kids
who
are
ages
roughly
two
to
five
and
it
is
surrounded
by
a
four
foot:
high
chain,
chain-link
fence,
there's
a
taller
fence
that
kind
of
goes
around
the
perimeter
of
the
property
in
the
middle
of
the
space.
There's
the
water
play
area
with
art
tiles,
so
I'll
show
you
a
photo
drinking
fountain
in
the
swings
in
that
kind
of
top
northeast
corner
and
then
5
to
12
plate
structure.
B
B
So
here
are
the
swings:
there's
three
bays
four
belt:
suites
four
belt
seats
and
two
bucket
seats
and
then
there's
the
5
to
12
structure
with
some
slides,
a
couple
platforms
and
then
the
2
to
5
structure
as
well
right.
So
this
is
just
looking
at
the
photos
of
all
those
elements.
I
just
pointed
out
on
the
aerial
the
entry
gateway,
the
pavement
games
down
in
the
lower
left.
This
is
the
flagpole
base
with
a
inscription
and
then
around
the
water
play
area.
There's
these
painted
tiles.
B
Different
furniture
around
the
site,
those
blue
picnic
tables,
the
the
game
tables,
which
are
a
little
worn
and
one
consideration,
is
with
new
furniture,
we'll
be
looking
at
making
sure
those
are
inclusive
and
there's
enough
space.
For
you
know
wheelchair
strollers
around
those
as
well
and
benches,
the
there's
one
back
benches
in
the
playground
right
now
and
then
these
pieces
are
really
interesting.
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you
have.
You
know
anything
to
add
about
these,
who
you
know
who
made
these?
Do
you
like
them?
Do
you
not
like
them?
B
Would
you
want
them
re
repositioned
repainted,
or
do
you
not
care
about
them?
We
should
get
rid
of
them.
We'd
love
to
hear
from
you
what
you
think
about
all
these
elements
that
are
at
the
playground
right
now,
so
this
frog
sculptures
right
outside
the
two
to
five
area,
the
painted
tiles
around
the
water
play
and
then
the
paint
pavement
markings
on
the
in
the
asphalt
area.
B
So,
okay,
everything
I
showed
you
so
far-
is
the
existing
playground.
Today,
the
existing
conditions.
Now
I'm
going
to
switch
I'm
going
to
show
you
not
photos
of
this
playground,
but
some
photos
of
some
other
playgrounds,
just
kind
of
get
the
juices
flowing
see.
You
know
what
you
like,
what
you
don't
like
what
you
would
love
to
see
here?
What
you
don't
want
to
see
here,
just
you
know
to
to
open
up
the
discussion.
B
So
here
do
you
want
some,
you
know
larger
climbing
elements.
Do
you
want
a
tight
loop?
You
know
the
the
to
bike
around
more
nature
play
nature
elements
to
run
around
play
on
logs
and
boulders
different
types
of
swings.
This
is
a
you
know,
friendship
swing,
group
swing
taller.
Do
you
want
height
on
the
play
structures,
or
do
you
want
them
longer
with
a
whole
bunch
of
kind
of
elements.
B
With
the
with
the
rubber
that
we
put
under
the
playgrounds,
we
could
do
some
funky
mounting
or
you
know
what
kind
of
slides
do
you
want
to
see
for
the
water
element?
Do
you
want
the
it
to
be
in
the
wall
like
it
is
now?
Do
you
want
it
to
spray
up
at
you,
or
do
you
want
to
be
kind
of
with
a
bunch
of
elements
that
you
kind
of
kind
of
play
with,
as
these
two
girls
are
doing
in
the
top
right
corner?
B
Do
you
want
a
spinner
here?
This
is
a
nice
inclusive
spinner.
You
can
wheel
a
wheelchair,
for
example
onto
it.
So
those
are
just
a
couple
ideas
so
now
we're
going
to
open
it
up
for
for
discussion,
we're
starting
to
get
some
questions
and
answers
or
sorry,
some
questions,
so
you
can
type
in
the
q
a
as
being
mentioned
or
raise
your
hand,
and
we
just
want
to
hear
from
you.
What
do
you
like?
B
D
Sarge,
hey
guys
brian
duffin
here
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
we
had
a
number
of
issues
over
the
summer
with
homeless
people
taking
over
the
park.
So,
however,
we
go
into
this,
we
need
to
be
aware
that
this
was
a
problem.
It's
probably
not
going
to
solve
itself
overnight,
so
we
need
to
make
sure
there's
not
spaces
being
built
into
this
park.
That
will
will
give
people
cover
to
do
things
out
of
view.
That
would
be
my
number
one
concern.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
brian.
This
definitely
something
that
we've
been
made
aware
of
just
by
talking
to
sort
of
community
members
in
the
park,
and
you
know
throughout
this
process.
We've
we've
heard
a
lot
about
that.
So
security
and
safety
is
definitely
on
our
radar
and
we're
absolutely
going
to
design
with
that
in
mind.
So
awesome.
D
A
Okay,
we
have
a
question
in
our
q,
a
that
says.
Ben
tg
says
I
like
the
natural
feel
of
the
logs
and
the
stones
in
the
water
section.
Well,
that
is
great,
and
it's
it's
really
fun
to
sort
of
think
of
all
the
different
options
that
that
play
areas
can
include.
You
know
the
different
textures,
the
different
materials,
so
that's
great
to
hear
that
the
the
natural
sort
of
logs
and
stones
is,
is
what
you
find
appealing
then
thank
you.
A
B
Yeah,
definitely
no
we're
going
to
be.
You
know
now
kind
of
going
back,
so
anything
you
tell
us
about
like
the
different
cultures
who
live
in
the
area
would
be
really
helpful,
but
as
far
as
inclusivity,
looking
at
kind
of
these
play
elements
that
are
you
know,
on
the
ground
level,
at
different
heights.
B
That
are,
you
know
tactical
that
you
know
music,
for
example,
you
know
drums
other
different
elements
that
are
appealing
to
kind
of
different
children
and
then,
as
well
as
the
site,
furniture
looking
at
furniture
that
can
everyone
can
access
and
bring
people
together.
I
think,
with
with
covid
we're
looking
at
seating.
That's
like
you
know
further
apart,
so
people
can
sit
together
but
safely
distance
away
from
each
other.
B
It
would
be
helpful.
You
know
if
anyone
wants
to
kind
of
jump
into
the
conversation
and
talk
to
us
more
about
you
know.
Do
you
want
to
have
events
here
like
parties
with
group
tables,
or
do
you
think
it's
important
to
have
kind
of
spaces
around
the
playground
where
people
can
kind
of
sit
and-
and
you
know
be
a
little
bit
by
themselves?
You
know
what
what's,
if,
if
you're
a
user
of
this
playground
or
if
you've
been
to
and
see
other
people
using
it?
A
Okay,
we
have
a
question
from
tafiq,
tahani,
danani,
sorry,
it
says
hi.
I
live
on
victoria
street
and
walk
by
the
park
almost
every
day
about
the
blue
bikes.
They
remove
the
station
in
the
winter
and
replace
it
with
another
parking
spot.
Getting
a
blue
bike
on
dorchester
ave
is
so
awkward.
I
have
to
step
down
from
the
curb
and
there
isn't
that
much
space
to
position
the
bike
off
the
rack
and
then
ride
onto
the
street.
Could
the
design
include
a
permanent
spot
for
blue
bikes?
That's
less
awkward,
also
side.
A
Note:
there
is
a
street
crossing
for
dorchester
ave
at
the
park.
That's
really
scary!
With
fast
cars
could
there
be
a
pedestrian
signal
there?
Those
are
great
questions
and
I
know
that
the
pedestrian
signal
is
unfortunately
not
something
that
parks
really
can
contribute
towards.
I'm
guessing,
that's
a
btd
boston,
transit
department
issue.
Rob
can
you
want
to
weigh
in
on
that
jump.
E
In
a
little
bit
here
about
the
blue
bikes,
those
are
also
managed
through
btd.
We,
we
have
some
limits
on
some
things
we
can
put
in
parks.
There
are
some
laws
that
prevent
us
from
using
transportation
funding
in
parks.
I
think
that's
mainly
to
protect
parks
from
becoming
transportation
facilities,
so
we
cannot
generally
put
blue
bikes
in
the
park
itself
because
of
those
restrictions
with
with
the
funding.
B
Rob
b,
I
think
also
you
know
that
entrance
to
the
playground
right
now
is
right
there
in
front
of
them,
so
I
think
we'll
take
that
into
consideration.
You
know
where
is
the
main
entrance
to
this
playground?
How
does
that
work
with
kind
of
all
the
elements
around
it
coming
up
and
down
the
street
as
well?
A
So
we
also
have
in
the
q
a
julie
ryan
from
counselor
baker's
office.
Is
here
happy
happy
to
be
listening
in
tonight
and
she'd
like
to
echo
sergeant
dunford
on
the
concerns
of
the
homeless
encampments
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
with
us
julie,
it's
great
to
have
you
and
definitely
noted
that
you
agree
with
the
sergeant
that
this
is
a
real
issue,
so
we
agree
and
we
are
we're
paying
attention.
Thank
you.
I'd.
E
Also
like
to
remind
everybody,
if
you
want
to
actually
talk
instead
of
type,
I
know
for
myself,
I'm
a
little
slow,
typer
feel
free
to
raise
your
hand
and
we'll
recognize
you
and
and
give
you
the
ability
to
talk
and
that
that
also
goes
for
julie.
If
you
wanted
to
say
something
from
the
the
counselor's
office
as
well.
A
Do
we
have
any
hands
raised
christine?
No,
not
at
this
time?
Okay,
all
right,
so
an
anonymous
attendee
says
I
love
the
multi-directional
spraying
sprinklers.
A
lot
more
color
would
be
great,
and
the
natural
play
element
is
great
too.
It
would
be
awesome
for
the
space
to
be
a
multi-dimensional
learning
space.
B
Oh,
absolutely
we're
seeing
nature
play
become
more
and
more
popular
areas
for
to
run
around.
I
mean
kids
growing
up
in
the
city,
just
opportunities
to
to
be
around
natural
elements
and
then
yeah
making
a
the
multi-dimensional
learning
space.
You
know
kids,
learn
and
experience
things
in
different
ways
and
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
incorporate
that
in
the
in
the
play
elements.
This
is
definitely
something
we
should
look
at.
B
I
also
want
to
you
know
I
don't
know
if
anyone
has
any
input
on,
I
my
understanding
is:
there's
a
large
vietnamese.
You
know
population
here
I
don't
know.
If
anyone
has
some
more
information
about,
you
know.
What's
right
around
the
neighborhood
who
comes
to
this
site
things,
we
should
consider
as
we're
moving
forward
into
developing
the
design.
F
F
D
Go
ahead,
brian,
hey
guys,
can
you
hear
me
yep
all
right,
my
ultimate
plan
for
town
feel
was
to
have
the
vietnamese
community
started,
having
more
interaction
with
that
field.
If
you
guys
can
steal
that
community
more
power
to
you,
there's
a
couple:
big
events
that
you
got
to
know
about
in
the
vietnamese
community
one's
the
autumn,
moon
festival,
they
do
the
red
lanterns,
where
they
light
them
up
and
send
them
to
the
sky.
D
That's
spectacular
if
you've
ever
seen
it
and
the
other
one
is
tet,
which
is
like
christmas,
easter
and
new
year
for
most
americans
all
rolled
into
one.
It's
huge!
It's
in
january.
Any
of
these
things
you
can
incorporate
and
bring
the
vietnamese
community
to
your
park
would
be
terrific.
I
don't
think
you
have
enough
room
for
a
soccer
field
that
will
find
you.
A
D
Hey
there
I
am
yeah
awesome,
okay,
listen
long
story
short
there's.
Also,
a
restaurant
called
ballet
about
three
blocks
away
from
the
park.
It's
hugely
popular,
it
was
fixtured
on
it
was
fixed
on
chronicle
and
it's
been
hugely
popular
since
then,
if
you
can
ever
get
them
to
sort
of
branch
out
or
start
having
like
a
food
cart
from
the
park,
I
think
you'll
see
a
huge
increase
of
people
using
it.
A
Okay:
let's
go
back
quickly
to
the
the
q,
a
I
think.
Let's
see
dez
rohan
hello,
nice
to
see
you
again,
I
hear
you,
you
say,
as
for
the
vietnamese
population,
it'd
be
great
to
bring
some
cultural
design
elements.
I
do
see
more
elderly
vietnamese
folks
in
the
morning
at
the
park
having
coffee
and
doing
some
stretching
accommodating
that
space
for
these
activities
would
be
great,
sounds
good.
G
Hi
everyone
hi
turkey
hi
thanks
for
having
us,
so
I
am
a
mom
of
a
two-year-old
that
lives
in
the
neighborhood
and
I
also
work
with
brian
and
field's
corner
at
fields
corner
main
street.
So,
yes,
we
have
a
a
wonderful,
vibrant
vietnamese
population
who
uses
the
park
here
at
ryan
playground.
But
I
also
see
like
everyone
at
this
park.
I
think
that
ryan
playground
is
has
like
a
really
magic
feeling
a
lot
of
the
times.
G
I
I
love
bringing
my
son
there
and
I
would
say
that
the
limitations
mostly
now
are
that
it
just
is
limiting
in
what
it
provides
by
age
and
so
it'd
be
great
to
see
more
open
space.
You
know
definitely
natural
elements,
but
also
just
things
that
could
be
used
for
sports,
basketball
or
hockey.
I
know
a
lot
of
kids
play
sports.
G
Are
I've
seen
people
making
like
makeshift
half
pipes
and
in
the
park,
and
so
just
just
thinking
about
how
how
people
age
into
the
space
and
definitely
also
you
know,
I
don't
know,
I
feel,
like
I'm,
asking
a
really
tall
order,
but
we
used
it
before
we
were
before
we
had
a
son.
We
went
and
walked
around
and
walked
our
dogs
there.
G
A
That's
a
really
good
point,
jackie,
that's
that's!
That's
really
true,
and
I
I
I'm
a
mom
to
a
five-year-old,
so
I
definitely
sympathize
with
like
your
experiences
with
public
space
and
how
they
change
over
time.
You
know,
suddenly
you
become
an
expert
in
like
how
two-year-olds
go
on
play
equipment
but
yeah
I
mean.
I
think
we
always.
It
is
a
relatively
small
playground
and
so
we're
definitely
gonna
have
to
be
choosy.
You
know
about
what
we
install
and
you
know
if
it's
you
know
a
skate
feature.
A
You
have
to
make
sure
that
that's
far
enough
away
from
a
two
to
five
year
old
playground-
and
you
know-
obviously
all
these
things
have
to
work
together
in
a
small
space.
So
it's
great
to
hear
that
that
more
variety-
and
you
know
something
for
kids
as
they
get
older
is,
is
what
you'd
be
looking
for.
I
think
that's
fantastic,
helpful
advice.
So
thank
you.
A
A
So
I
think
that
that's
a
great
idea
as
well,
I
think
also
what
we
can
do
just
from
a
design
perspective.
That's
sometimes
as
helpful
is
you
know,
making
sure
that
wherever
we're
planting,
trees
or
locating
tables
adjacent
to
existing
trees,
perhaps
always
trying
to
ensure
that
there's
shade
there
because
you're
right
I
mean,
if
you're,
trying
to
sit
in
the
playground
in
summertime.
C
H
H
Just
live
around
the
corner
and
my
my
kids,
like
love,
love
the
park
the
and
we
we're
glad
that
it's
being
remodeled
or
you
know,
redesigned
to
include
few
more
things
or
make
it
more
friendly
for
to
be
inclusive.
All
the
ideas
are
really
good.
Like
green
space,
that's
good.
My
only
the
couple
concern
I
have
is
that
quite
a
few
times
we
have
to
turn
away
and
walk
home
when
we
got
to
the
park
because
adult
people
there
smoke
and
we
can't
do
anything
about
it.
H
B
Yes,
definitely
karen!
No
thank
you
for
for
noting
that
I
I
should
have
pointed
out
where
that
sandbox
was
that
box
in
the
two
to
five
area.
I
think
it's
part
of
the
improvements
where
we're
gonna
not
create
areas
where,
where
someone
can
hide,
or
you
know,
or
or
sleep,
and
and
making
increasing
visibility
in
the
playground,
increasing
the
lighting.
All
of
that
as
part
of
the
this
project,
no.
H
E
You
can
also
report
those
things
through
three
one
one
if
they
are
egregious
enough
and
it's
a
safety
issue,
9-1-1
might
be
appropriate
for
things
that
that
are
going
on
they're
illegal,
but
the
police
do
the
enforcement
here
for
for
the
parks
department.
So
it's
important
when
you
see
things
like
that
that
you
report
them
so
that
there
are
numbers
that
can
be
tracked
and
they
can
see
what
the
issues
are
in
the
parks.
If
these
things
go
on
and
nobody
reports
them,
unfortunately
a
lot-
you
know
the
city
doesn't
know
about
them.
E
You
know
you
think
you
think
we
should
know,
but
helping
report
those
it's
very
much
data-driven,
so
reporting
those
3-1-1
or
to
the
police
will
get
those
on
the
radar
of
those
that
do
enforcement.
So
it's
very
important
to
do
that
when
you
see
those
issues
and
we
will
do
what
we
can
through
the
design
elements
through
sight
lines
and
making
sure
there's,
no,
you
know
hidden
corners
to
prevent
those
issues
and
and
generally
positive
activity
drives
out
negative
activity.
E
So
more
people
that
are
using
the
park
will
cause-
and
hopefully,
if
we
design
a
really
great
park
and
a
lot
of
people
want
to
go
there
and
it's
very
active,
it's
less
likely
to
be
used
by
people
doing
bad
things
in
the
park
because
they
don't
want
to
be
around
when
all
this
good
activity
is
going
on.
They
want
to
kind
of
be
hidden
somewhere.
So
that's
where
design
can
help
with
those
issues.
But
if
you
see
things,
please
report
those
to
the
police
and
through.
A
Yeah,
but
thanks
for
sharing
your
experiences
karen,
that
that
sounds
stressful
and
sad,
I'm
gonna
switch
to
one
of
the
q,
a
questions
that
we
have
here.
Marta
carney
said
that
she
was
wondering
if
there's
any
chance,
we
could
bring
back
one
of
the
original
basketball
hoops
like
downer
ave
just
got
during
covid
lots
more
inner
city
youth
need
places
to
play,
so
they
don't
need
to
walk
for
miles.
A
A
So,
but
that's
that's
great
to
know
that
there's
interest
in
basketball-
and
I
think
you
know
if
you
have
a
hoop-
that's
kind
of
a
great
activity
for
kids
as
they
grow
up
and
and
grow
out
of
doing
the
play
equipment.
Sometimes
you
know
if
you
have
a
12
year
old
kid,
that's
kind
of
a
good
activity
for
them.
So
that's
a
great
that's
a
great
point.
Marta
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
carmen.
F
B
I
have
a
question
for
everyone
kind
of
following
up
on
the
basketball
hoop
question.
You
know
and
there's
not
there's
not
a
space
to
put
everything
you
know
into
it,
but
there's
there's
a
good
chunk
of
space.
There's
this
large
area
of
pavement.
You
know
with
the
four
square
and
the
hopscotch
games
and
stuff
what
what
happens
in
this
this
area.
That's
that's
paved
and,
and
can
some
of
the
activities
that
happen
in
it.
B
Can
it
be
not
on
pavement,
or
I
think
it
would
just
be
helpful
to
learn
a
little
bit
about
more
that
that
west
side
of
the
playground
closest
to
that
big
gateway
and
speaking
of
the
big
gateway?
What
what
do
people
think
about
it?
It's
it's
a
really
large
element
and
it
provides
shade,
but
in
a
spot
where
people,
when
I
don't
think,
be
hanging
out
that
much
right,
it's
just
the
stairs
up
into
the
entrance.
A
Actually,
this
is
a
great
time
to
quickly
dive
back
into
the
q
a
because
crystal
garcia
said.
It
would
also
be
great
if
there
was
a
large
enough
green
area
for
adult
programming
like
yoga
or
zumba
in
the
summer
etc.
So,
that's
you
know
one
one
vote
in
favor
for
a
large
open,
green
space.
Perhaps
that
would
take
the
place
of
some
of
the
paving.
Perhaps
that
would
be
expanded
out
from
some
of
the
existing
green
space,
but
that's
great
to
know
that
there's
some
interest
in
something
like
that.
I
Hey
everybody:
this
is
julie
from
city
council,
frank
baker's
office.
I
just
wanted
to
hop
on.
I
was
going
to
say
exactly
what
rob
said
about
making
sure
that
you're
putting
it
through
either
911.
It's
really
important
that
the
city
knows
what's
going
on
in
these
places
because
we
rely
on
you
to
to
so
we
can
address
it
and
exactly
it's
data-driven.
I
Now
has
a
street
outreach
team
which
will
go
and
there's
a
few
of
them
that
are
assigned
to
the
unit
just
to
reach
out
to
people
who
are
homeless
and
struggling
with
addiction,
and
things
like
that,
so
it
is
important
for
us
to
know
you
if
you
want
me
to
put
it
through
through.
I
want
to
let
the
police
know.
I
just
want
to
know
you're
happy
to
call
we're
happy
to
have
you
call
frank's
office
at
any
time.
I
A
There
are
two
other
sort
of
follow-up
notes
in
the
q
a
just
quickly
having
to
do
with
people
who
think
that
they're
one
hoop
is
a
great
idea,
so
noting
different
parks
that
have
one
hoop
a
street
and
southie
has
a
great
one,
hoop
et
cetera.
So
that
sounds
like
it's
something
that
people
are
interested
in.
So
that's
great
to
know.
Thank
you
to
michelle
and
marta.
J
J
As
far
as
I'm
concerned,
I
feel,
like
kids
aren't
super
into
things
like
hopscotch,
at
least
my
kids
never
were,
and
usually
when
you
go
to
parks,
you
don't
see
kids
engaging
with
that
very
much
I
mean,
maybe
if
they
come
for
the
first
time,
they'll
do
it,
but
when
they
live
in
the
neighborhood
and
they
come
to
the
park
all
the
time,
I
feel
like
elements
like
that
are
not
worth
losing
square
footage
for
grass.
I
think
grasses
is
much
better.
We
don't
have
much
grass
in
the
in
the
neighborhood.
J
A
Okay,
that's
that's
good
to
hear.
Thank
you.
I
also
wanted
to
read
from
the
q
a
we've
got
ben
said:
it's
convenient
to
have
an
entrance
on
dorchester
ave
having
to
do
with
the
entrance
right
there
by
the
blue
bikes,
but
would
like
to
have
a
mechanism
to
prevent
my
toddler
from
running
out
into
traffic.
A
That
sounds
like
a
great
idea.
We
can
definitely
look
into
perhaps
like
a
gate,
some
kind
of
entry
that
includes
the
gate,
lots
of
playgrounds
have
that
and
this
one
doesn't,
and
so
I'm
not
I'm
not
sure
how
that
was
how
that
happened.
But
we
can
certainly
look
at
that.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
A
I
have
not
reached
out
to
them
as
the
project
manager,
so
that
is
great
to
hear
that
collegiate
school
is
involved
with
this,
and
I
will
so
thank
you.
This
is
this
is
very
helpful,
I'll
get
in
touch
with
them
and
see
if
they
have
any
opinions
or
tips
or
pointers.
So
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
Karen.
B
B
A
A
So
marta
carney
says
they're
not
really
used,
and
michelle
says
I
don't
recall
ever
seeing
anyone
playing
checkers
or
chess.
I
feel
like
the
few
times
I've
been
to
the
playground.
I've
seen
some
people
sitting
at
the
tables
you
know,
but
not
necessarily
playing
like
using
them
as
game
tables.
Necessarily
karen
says
I
never
seen
anyone
using
it
so
sounds
like
sometimes
they're
used
for
picnics,
but
maybe
not
for
chess.
B
What
about
water
play
so
there's
this
water
play
element
in
the
park
with
part
of
the
improvements
you
know
we'll
be
looking
at
still
having
water
play
in
this
park.
But
what
type
would
you
like
to
see,
and
also
does
anyone
have
any
information
to
share
about
those
painted
tiles
that
are
incorporated
into
that
space
right
now?
B
B
B
A
Well,
we're
getting
a
ton
of
great
ideas
in
the
queue,
so
thank
you
guys
for
for
putting
them
in
here
I
mean
you
know
the
added
benefit
of
putting
things
in
the
q
a
is
it
all
gets
recorded
and
so
we're
recording
this
as
well.
So
we
have
all
of
the
information
that
everyone
is
saying
every
way,
but
having
it
all
written
down
is
also
very
helpful.
So.
B
B
Look
at
the
size
of
the
pjp
park,
marta
mentioned
moakley,
which
is
close,
and
so
therefore,
maybe
we
don't
do
exactly
what's
over
at
moakley,
because
you
could
walk
over
use
that
one,
and
maybe
this
is
a
little
different
than
moekley
and
then
stephanie
said
yes.
Definitely
to
you
know
what
she'd
say.
Definitely
she
said
yes
and
the
water
is
that
that's
the
reason
we
go
in
the
summer
more
sprinkler
park
design
is
preferred
for
more
room
and
needs
to
be
twice
its
size
if
possible.
A
That's
a
great
design
challenge.
That's
that's
a
good
that
you
know
yes
like
they
can
be
fun.
You
know
there
can
be
areas
that
incorporate
different
textures
or
different
movable
parts.
Sometimes
you
have
you
know
a
water
flowing
thing
that
if
the
water
is
not
on,
you
can
still
play
with
sand
or
toys.
B
It's
so
important
here
in
boston,
because
this
time
of
the
year
is
when
you
know
boston
park,
shuts
off
the
water
play
and
so
to
you
know,
keep
it
activated,
keep
it
a
place
that
draws.
You
know
the
families
who
are
drawn
to
it
in
the
summer
for
the
water
play.
What
can
we
do
to
to
draw
them
into
that
same
area
in
the
winter.
A
I
mean
speaking
of
water.
One
thing
that
I've
heard
is
sometimes
community
groups
will
come
to
the
park
and
do
sort
of
like
a
garden
day
and
need
water
access.
So
we've
heard
that
are
there
any
other
groups
that
I
don't
know
come
and
use
the
park
for
different
reasons,
different
things
that
we
could
design
that
could
help
that
sort
of
activity,
something
for
people
to
think
about,
write
it
in
the
q
a
or
raise
your
hand.
If
you
want
to
speak.
A
Are
there
any
other
questions
or
thoughts
that
you
guys
have
that
you
would
like
to
communicate
now
or
if
you
don't
that's
totally
fine.
We
hope
that
you
will
continue
to
communicate
with
us
through
the
survey
marta.
Thank
you.
It
says
it's
difficult,
we're
so
blessed
with
so
many
parks
to
go
to
that's
a
very
nice
sentiment.
It's
a
good
difficulty
to
have
right.
A
A
The
second
meeting
that
we
have
will
be
in
february
and
that's
when
we're
going
to
show
some
early
ideas,
some
concepts
and
we'll
ask
what
you
like
about
each
concept
alternative
and
then
we'll
come
back
in
late
march
with
the
preferred
plan,
and
that's
we
want
to
hear
from
you
guys
that
we
are
working
in
the
right
direction.
So
if
you,
if
you
check
our
website-
and
I
think,
if
we
flip
to
the
next
slide-
we've
got
our
qr
codes
here-
that
you
can
scan
with
your
phone.
A
If
you
check
in
on
the
website,
we
will
let
you
know
when
the
next
meeting
is.
If
you
want
to
email
me
now
and
just
say,
hey,
I
want
to
be
on
your
mailing
list.
I
can
definitely
do
that
too.
My
we
should
have
included
that
on
this.
I
guess
we
didn't.
I
didn't
think
about
that
abigail.chatfield
boston.gov,
so
we
have
our
survey
here
as
well.
Please
take
the
survey,
please
forward.
The
link
to
your
friends.
C
B
Yeah
that's
great
b,
so
on
the
website
there
there
will
be
a
link
to
the
survey
and
then
also
this
presentation
will
be
up
on
the
the
website
as
well
right.
So
anyone
who
couldn't
make
it
tonight
or
if
you
want
to
re-watch
it
it'll,
be
up
online
as
well
right,
as
you
said
in
the
beginning,
in
a
week.
B
It
also
has
you
know
just
a
it
provides
an
opportunity
just
to
tell
us.
You
know
other
things
if
you
think
of
something
later
tonight
or
you
know,
over
the
weekend,
you
can
go
into
that
survey
and
there's
just
a
tell
us
more
about
ryan
playground.
So
we
just
really
welcome
all
feedback.
You
have
it.
It
helps
us
as
as
we're
working
on
this
design.
