Picnic Area
Play Areas – separate 2-5 and 5-12, safe distance from the street, maintain visibility
Open Grassed Area – large enough for kids to play games but small enough so no programmed sports
Fence surrounding park – safety concern regarding conflicts between children and traffic, - berms, partial fencing, tree planting as alternatives
Preserve passive nature of site, provide alternative quiet areas,
Parking – contact city to add some limited on street parking spaces (City responded that it would require reconfiguration of Matina Dr) Contact elkgrovecity.org
Provide lots of walkways/loop trails
