There is too much planting. This area needs to be flexible. Jim Ballard: Dog park could take advantage of the areas on both sides of the basketball courts. Loves the pool area and the proposed mural. Likes the clear glass on the pool deck to take advantage of the views. A frit pattern at the guard rail height is a good idea. Would like to see some color added to the front elevation. Anny Semonco: Very pleased with the accessible gym equipment and children s play equipment. If pavers are used, they need to be level and even for accessibility.
