| 1 | Mar 1, 2010 4:47 PM | farmers market would be fine use of flexible park space |
| 2 | Mar 2, 2010 3:51 PM | It would be nice to have places for adults/seniors to gather publicly as well as children's place areas |
| 3 | Mar 2, 2010 6:19 PM | Community center for Public events, meetings and organizations to use/rent. |
| 4 | Mar 3, 2010 2:36 PM | sheltered picnic / bbq spaces and COMMUNITY WIFI |
| 5 | Mar 3, 2010 4:25 PM | more creative play space like the outdoor play trail at the zoo |
| 6 | Mar 3, 2010 4:37 PM | Let children play/work in gardens, not bone-breaking over-competitive sports fields |
| 7 | Mar 3, 2010 5:00 PM | hardcape that is shaped to be a slight amphitheater so there can be community gatherings outside. |
| 8 | Mar 3, 2010 6:19 PM | walking trails (no bikes or roller skates) Peace and quiet |
| 9 | Mar 3, 2010 8:18 PM | Walking and biking. The wiggle-waggle 42nd Street that winds up from Mathew's Beach and the Burke-Gilman trail must be preserved for its natural habitat and beauty |
| 10 | Mar 3, 2010 8:18 PM | space for tweens and teens! |
| 11 | Mar 3, 2010 8:34 PM | Dogs should be allowed @ playfields, etc. (scoop laws enforced) |
| 12 | Mar 3, 2010 10:46 PM | Keep large traffic events like sports games out of our parks. |
| 13 | Mar 3, 2010 11:08 PM | Would like to see more tennis courts and running trails |
| 14 | Mar 4, 2010 1:57 AM | It would be lovely to have more small playgrounds for small children and places for elderly and other ages to linger and mix with young families while strolling for errands (mailing a letter, library, coffee, etc. and for a "walk in the woods" without a drive by developing the Wedgwood ravines. |
| 15 | Mar 4, 2010 2:02 AM | Farmers Market |
| 16 | Mar 4, 2010 2:11 AM | Protection of the natural environment |
| 17 | Mar 4, 2010 2:15 AM | dog friendly areas also desirable |
| 18 | Mar 4, 2010 2:17 AM | perhaps fenced off leash areas for pets |
| 19 | Mar 4, 2010 4:36 AM | Dog park |
| 20 | Mar 4, 2010 5:21 PM | walking the dog |
| 21 | Mar 4, 2010 8:34 PM | outdoor group sites for large picnicks and wifi |
| 22 | Mar 4, 2010 8:45 PM | I think the lawn/garden type space might be the least used on a consistent basis. But it would be nice. For examples of what might be nice in Seattle are Jamison Square and Tanner Springs Park in Portland's Pearl District. |
| 23 | Mar 4, 2010 8:56 PM | Playfields are great, but they take a lot of space, and we already have Dahl. |
| 24 | Mar 5, 2010 3:17 AM | Public art: Important |
| 25 | Mar 5, 2010 4:09 AM | Open areas for running around and playing |
| 26 | Mar 5, 2010 4:49 AM | Felling of separation from traffic, walkability to/from |
| 27 | Mar 5, 2010 8:35 AM | design the park for its setting: obviously a ravine with steep terraine is all about the natural setting, but a small "pocket park" has got to be designed for its intended use - to provide city dwellers with a space to recreate - ie playground and dogs and fences to keep balls in and not hit traffic and benches for seniors |
| 28 | Mar 5, 2010 4:00 PM | Dahl field is often flooded and wet and therefore not usable. Water management should be better considered, otherwise, this space is not very useful. |
| 29 | Mar 5, 2010 5:24 PM | walking destination |
| 30 | Mar 5, 2010 7:08 PM | In greenbelt or even smaller areas of parks, use native evergreens - firs, cedars, etc. |
| 31 | Mar 5, 2010 9:03 PM | Only Meadowbrook offers 'nature' areas; Wedgwood is asphalt! Dahl is not accessible and TC is a joke; Eckstein, meh. |
| 32 | Mar 6, 2010 5:08 AM | Community events - concerts, movies, fairs, etc.Dificult to think o |
| 33 | Mar 6, 2010 3:44 PM | off-leash dog |
| 34 | Mar 6, 2010 9:46 PM | tennis and basketball courts as well as baseball diaomonds are important to me |
| 35 | Mar 6, 2010 10:15 PM | Defined trails, dog areas, garbage cans, lighting. While less important but nice because it keeps the parks cleaner, well maintained restrooms. |
| 36 | Mar 7, 2010 3:07 PM | How about a pea patch? Or encouraging gardening to take over some of the open spaces between homes and in unused curbside areas? |
| 37 | Mar 7, 2010 8:36 PM | Bike trail connection us toi the4 birk gillman trail |
| 38 | Mar 7, 2010 11:34 PM | Town square will increase transients to our area. |
| 39 | Mar 8, 2010 12:19 AM | View Ridge park is great for it's multi-usefulness (wading pool, athletic field, circular bike/skate path, park area, picnic area) |
| 40 | Mar 8, 2010 6:50 PM | Crime is increasing on parks and open spaces- beware of offering those havens to those that already have infiltrated Magnusen and put grafetti in wedgewood |
| 41 | Mar 8, 2010 8:44 PM | Walking trails in a natural setting. |
| 42 | Mar 8, 2010 10:02 PM | Read "Last Child in the Woods" for thoughts on keeping spaces natural and accessible for children. |
| 43 | Mar 8, 2010 11:08 PM | walking paths |
| 44 | Mar 9, 2010 1:16 AM | not pouring more concrete on current green spaces |
| 45 | Mar 9, 2010 5:41 AM | space for outdoor concerts |
| 46 | Mar 9, 2010 3:40 PM | Limited lawns - more garden space for food. And prohibition of pesticides and commercial fertilizers in private or public spaces. |
| 47 | Mar 9, 2010 7:39 PM | A small dog park |
| 48 | Mar 9, 2010 9:18 PM | bathrooms available all year round! |
| 49 | Mar 9, 2010 10:14 PM | Dry/indoor space for winter use |
| 50 | Mar 10, 2010 5:27 AM | ultimate frisbee! |
| 51 | Mar 10, 2010 3:42 PM | We have alot of spaces for young people to use and no place for people of all ages to gather |
| 52 | Mar 10, 2010 6:27 PM | Northeast Seattle does not have enough playfields. LVR, NESLL and NSBA teams are stacked up. With that said, I can't recommend a space that would accommodate more playfields. |
| 53 | Mar 11, 2010 2:29 AM | open spaces and small 'pocket' parks should be tucked in smaller spaces...don't need JUST big park areas. |
| 54 | Mar 12, 2010 2:45 AM | places for multiple uses that serve all ages |
| 55 | Mar 12, 2010 8:49 PM | Resident's garden spaces |
| 56 | Mar 13, 2010 6:08 AM | We have enough playfields w/ Dahl and Magnuson, let's have some natural space! |
| 57 | Mar 13, 2010 8:09 PM | Daylighted creeks |
| 58 | Mar 14, 2010 7:14 PM | Dog-friendly parks, especially an off-leash park, is very important. |
| 59 | Mar 15, 2010 1:25 AM | Parks and sports fields are not the same thing and should not be combined. |
| 60 | Mar 15, 2010 3:05 AM | please use a ground cover that does not require mowing & fertilizer |
| 61 | Mar 15, 2010 8:11 PM | Picnic/game tables; drinking fountain(s); water features; sculpture or other public art. |
| 62 | Mar 15, 2010 9:51 PM | I love my p-patch! |
| 63 | Mar 17, 2010 8:29 AM | Being disabled, I may not be able to use these things myself, but I believe they are necessary to the community. |
| 64 | Mar 21, 2010 4:24 AM | mountain bike trail/park |
| 65 | Mar 24, 2010 3:57 AM | path for riding bikes and scooters |
| 66 | Mar 24, 2010 5:55 AM | There are lots of sports fields being built at Magnusson. We don't need to be a destination for that purpose with those so nearby. |
| 67 | Mar 24, 2010 6:42 AM | BBQ, picnic, gathering, small group events |
| 68 | Mar 24, 2010 3:35 PM | Swimming and a Dog Park |
| 69 | Mar 24, 2010 4:00 PM | Parks need to be maintained and any open space is NOT a dog park!!! |
| 70 | Mar 24, 2010 5:41 PM | water feature in summer |
| 71 | Mar 25, 2010 6:25 AM | Having reliable hours for the wading pool and bathroom facilities would be nice. |
| 72 | Mar 25, 2010 9:06 PM | 24 hr. safety |
| 73 | Mar 26, 2010 1:09 AM | Flexible Open Space for Community Events |
| 74 | Mar 27, 2010 3:57 PM | More p-patches/gardens for children or adults to "Play" in |
| 75 | Mar 30, 2010 3:01 AM | Gardens and benches are very important if they are multi-use like the benches are apart of an ampitheatre or public art and the gardens are better if they are edible plants or rain gardens not just more to water |
| 76 | Mar 30, 2010 4:52 AM | The open space, itself, surrounded by stately trees, is important in its own right |
| 77 | Mar 30, 2010 5:09 AM | Pulbic places to find shade in summer and sun in winter nourish the soul as well as the body - we need more of these! |
| 78 | Mar 30, 2010 5:49 AM | paths |
| 79 | Mar 30, 2010 1:48 PM | Forest Garden/Permaculture. |
| 80 | Mar 30, 2010 4:32 PM | P-patch |
| 81 | Mar 31, 2010 3:58 AM | Less lawn and more garden; edible trees and shrubs |
| 82 | Mar 31, 2010 4:43 AM | Trails in yet to be determined parks. |
| 83 | Apr 4, 2010 5:30 AM | wading pools are a great asset |
| 84 | Apr 4, 2010 11:03 PM | BENCHES are critical. As we age, our walking is limited by the opportunity to sit and pause. |
| 85 | Apr 4, 2010 11:29 PM | Why did you people waste all that money on the Skate Wart at Dahl Field? |
| 86 | Apr 7, 2010 6:14 AM | DOG PARKS - why dont we have any???? |
| 87 | Apr 7, 2010 4:30 PM | dog walking - dogs allowed |
| 88 | Apr 7, 2010 4:54 PM | Wading pool -- very important; snow play/sleding -- very important |
| 89 | Apr 8, 2010 7:33 AM | the new skating/ skateboarding structure in dahl is a tragedy and a sad addition. |
| 90 | Apr 8, 2010 7:40 PM | walking trails, bike routes, safe routes across busy streets |
| 91 | Apr 9, 2010 2:20 AM | gardens with NW tolerant plantings. limit lawns to childrens play areas |
| 92 | Apr 9, 2010 6:33 AM | picnic areas with grills |
| 93 | Apr 9, 2010 4:24 PM | instead of static spaces, like parks, urban trails, more natural walking paths than cement (which is always right next to the street) |
| 94 | Apr 10, 2010 5:36 PM | Occasional use for community events |
| 95 | Apr 10, 2010 9:07 PM | Public spaces for teenagers, not just younger kids. |
| 96 | Apr 11, 2010 12:37 PM | swimming pool similar to Mounger in Magnolia |
| 97 | Apr 14, 2010 2:24 AM | Activity areas for teenagers is very important. |
| 98 | Apr 15, 2010 4:27 PM | kudos for the skatepark! |
| 99 | May 4, 2010 3:19 AM | Town Square should be covered with fountain, kiosk, grass, small stage |
| 100 | May 6, 2010 4:03 AM | There needs to be an enforcement of dogs being on leash. People constantly violate the law by letting their dogs run free in parks and school play grounds, even when signs are posted otherwise. |
| 101 | May 6, 2010 4:49 AM | walking trails - 4 |
