IIICITY OF CUPERTINO MEMORIAL PARK PARKING STUDY
This study develops a parking occupancy and utilization analysis to document existing and potential parking capacity in Cupertino Memorial Park. The study area encompasses the park location bordered by Christensen Drive on the north, N. Stelling Road on the east, Alves Drive and Anton Way, Stevens Creek Boulevard on the south, and Mary Avenue on the west. There are 313 parking spaces – located in public and permit parking lots within the park perimeter and on-street parking along Alves in the study area. Of the available parking spaces, 82 percent are public or permit parking lot spaces and 18 percent are on-street parking spaces.

On the observed parking occupancy collection days, the findings suggest that the overall study area reached a maximum occupancy of 28 percent on the observed weekday, with 225 parking spaces unoccupied, and 51 percent on the observed weekend with 154 parking spaces unoccupied. On a representative festival or event day, the maximum occupancy was 45 percent, with 172 parking spaces unoccupied�
During the observed weekday, on-street parking reached a maximum of 4 percent occupancy, between 7 a. m. and 11 a.m., leaving 53 spaces available. During the observed weekday, off-street public parking reached a maximum of 38 percent occupancy, between 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., leaving 51 spaces open. Off-street permit parking, on the other hand, reached a maximum of 45 percent occupancy between 2 p. m. and 4 p. m. resulting in 48 unoccupied parking spaces on the observed weekday.

During the observed weekend, on-street parking reaches a maximum of 38 percent occupancy, between 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., leaving 34 spaces open. During the observed weekend, off-street public parking is observed to reach a maximum occupancy of 78 percent between 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., leaving 37 spaces open. Off-street permit parking, on the other hand, reached a maximum of 7 percent occupancy between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m., and 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., resulting in 82 unoccupied parking spaces on the observed weekend.

DATA COLLECTION
TIn order to understand existing parking supply and utilization in the study area, the following data collection was performed:

PARKING INVENTORY
The number of parking spaces available in the study area was collected for on-street and off-street parking spaces (public and permit lots).

Time restrictions, accessible (ADA) spaces, and other regulations were classified.

PARKING OCCUPANCY
Hourly parking occupancy counts were collected 7, 9 and 11a.m. and 1, 3, and 5p.m. on Thursday October 6, 2022 and on Saturday, October 22, 2022 for public parking lots and permitted parking lots located in Memorial Park and the on-street block face along Alves Drive. Parking counts were also collected during the Bay Area Diwali Festival of Lights on Saturday, October 8, 2022 during the same times as listed above to serve as a representative event or festival�

12CITY OF CUPERTINO MEMORIAL PARK PARKING STUDY

PARKING OCCUPANCY ANALYSIS
This section describes how parking was utilized hourly for on-street and off-street parking in Memorial Park during the days of collection.

A parking occupancy of 85 percent is typically defined as the practical threshold that indicates a healthy and balance parking usage between supply and demand. Parking occupancy below 85 percent is considered underutilized whereas an occupancy greater than 85 percent is considered over utilized. The section begins with analyzing trends of overall parking occupancy in the study area. Trends of both off-street and on-street parking occupancy over a weekday, weekend day as well as a representative festival day are analyzed. Parking data sheets with occupancy data is provided in Attachment B.

Weekday Occupancy Trends
This subsection analyzes the overall weekday trends of parking occupancy in the study area. This includes both on-street and off- street parking facilities. The peak period is observed between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. with a maximum of 28 percent occupancy. This leaves about 225 parking spaces unoccupied. Figure 3 illustrates the parking occupancy trend for the entire study are from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The overall parking occupancy during a typical weekday is observed to be much lower than the 85 percent threshold throughout the day.

With the maximum occupancy of 28 percent between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Figure 4 and Figure 5 illustrates parking occupancy during these hours.

Table 5 summarizes the parking occupancy for the entire study area, on-street as well as off-street, throughout the Bay Area Diwali Festival Of Lights, October 8th, 2022, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. On-street parking occupancy between 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. was observed to reach a maximum of 35 percent occupancy. Public parking lots also had 56 percent occupancy in the study area during the same time period.

Permit parking lots had a 42 percent occupancy in the study area between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m.

It should be noted that parking was severely limited within the park and along Alves Drive during the festival so these numbers reflect parking used for VIPs, vendors, food trucks, and general closures.

4. PARKING POLICY AND

MANAGEMENT STRATEGIESI
Appendix A Parking Study A-35
27CITY OF CUPERTINO MEMORIAL PARK PARKING STUDY
This chapter describes a parking policy analysis and management strategies proposed for the study area. The recommended policies and strategies are developed based off the existing parking supply and utilization findings for Memorial Park, field review conducted on October 8, 2022, and general best practices for parking management.

Increase Public Awareness of Parking Options
The City of Cupertino website currently provides a map and directions to both the Senior Center and Quinlan Community Center, however, there is no detailed information provided regarding parking at either facility or the park overall other than a site map. It is recommended that more information about existing public parking options, more detailed maps, and regular updates be included.

With the rise in use and popularity of Google Maps and other traffic apps such as Waze, the City should proactively reach out to Google to ensure parking options and information are up to date on those navigation platforms. For example, Google Maps already has the Alves Drive parking lot pinned and identified as “Parking Lot 1 Memorial Park,” but none of the others are identified.

Information with respect to the locations of all public parking lots, hours of operation, and time limit restrictions can be integrated into websites or flyer formats for distribution at the Quinlan, Senior Center, special events, and surrounding neighborhoods.

Update and Improve Wayfinding/Directional
Signage and Create a Parking Brand
Well-designed parking wayfinding signs can better direct visitors to available parking options within Memorial Park.

Currently, there are no signs at park entry points at N. Stelling Road, Stevens Creek Boulevard, nor Mary Avenue pointing users to available parking options within the park. Signage at the Senior Center indicates clearly that those lots are permit parking only, with no directions provided that there is two-hour parking available further down in Lot

3. It is recommended that the City realign and perhaps consolidate existing parking wayfinding signs so that they are more visible and larger in size to direct drivers to options in different public parking lots�
A dynamic and recognizable public parking brand will clarify and promote public parking options and provide the user with an accessible and affirming experience and can be incorporated on all parking wayfinding signage, and on marketing and education materials.

The design of the signs should reflect the new parking brand that will allow them to be recognizable to drivers as they enter the park area and navigate surrounding streets�
The City should also explore proper naming or numbering of lots so visitors can easily locate available public parking.

and Anton Drive, similar to the existing one at N.. Stelling Road and Alves Drive, would provide a safe crossing from De Anza parking and eliminate the need to cross mid-block, as people do now while dodging traffic on Stevens Creek Boulevard.

Improve Pedestrian and Bicyclist
Environment
While there are identified and designated bike lanes on N. Stelling Road, Stevens Creek Boulevard, and Mary Avenue, which allow for easy accessibility by bike to the park, once the bicyclists actually enter the park, there are no facilities available to them. While active bike riding might not be encouraged within the park itself at this time, placing bike racks and/or bike lockers at the Senior Center, Quinlan Community Center, and perhaps in a few locations there is park access from Alves Drive or Anton Drive is recommended. Increasing the number and location of short-term and long-term bike parking installations would encourage additional usage as well as safe and permanent options for bike users, especially park employees.

Bike dismount signs can also be placed strategically within the park to remind visitors bike riding is not recommended on the existing paths and sidewalks.

These steps will foster and encourage more bicycle use to the park in preparation for actual bike paths being installed within the park per the 2016 Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan.

Regarding pedestrians, for daily use, the existing sidewalks and walkways are sufficient for existing use. However, during special events, it was observed that visitors trying to access the events in the park that utilize De Anza College parking would sometimes cross Stevens Creek mid-block instead of walking to the existing crosswalks at the N. Stelling Road or Mary Avenue intersections. Installing a designated pedestrian crosswalk with enhanced safety features such as a rectangular rapid flashing beacon at Stevens Creek Boulevard ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I
A-38 Memorial Park Specific Plan

Establish Additional Parking along Alves
Drive
Alves Drive, which runs along a part of the southeast portion of the park and next to the Quinlan Community Center, currently allows for on-street parking in unmarked stalls. The north block face has no restrictions up to where the street turns south as Anton Way, and has several red curb locations on the south block face. In order to maximize the current on-street parking to its fullest potential and capacity, parking T locations should be marked out and painted permanently on the street surface on both sides of Alves Drive.

Shared Parking Agreements
Currently, the City does not reserve any parking on the De Anza College campus for City events, however, for future City sponsored events, a more formal agreement could be pursued. If the most visible De Anza College lots along N. Stelling Road and Stevens Creek Boulevard are not available, the City and college could explore using the Flint Center parking structure during those times with shuttle service available to and from the park.

Should increased parking demand show the need, the City could explore shared parking agreements with private property owners, such as Abundant Life Assembly of God, to provide additional public parking options by leveraging existing parking supply during times, usually in the evenings and Saturdays when the parking supply is typically underutilized.

The current policy for additional park events that are not City run, such as the Bay Area Diwali Festival of Lights, require contact with De Anza College to secure parking use and verification by the City of such arrangements before the permit is approved. It is recommended that this arrangement continue but perhaps reviewed to ensure equity and accessibility for non-City run events that wish to use the park. @-IDeAnza

Maintain Current Parking Configuration
along Mary Avenue
Mary Avenue is a two lane street with on-street parking allowed on both sides of the street except from 2 a.m.-5 a.m., Parallel parking with the bike lane serving as a buffer to the street is provided on the north block face with angled parking providing a buffer to a bike lane on the south block face.

A few Senior Center permitted parking spaces are available. Since this parking is utilized significantly during park events, this on-street parking should be maintained in its current configuration.

Parallel Parking along Anton Way
With the addition of eight pickle ball courts on the park’s southeast corner, near the Anton Way and Stevens Creek Boulevard intersection, nine parallel parking spaces along Anton Way are being included.

While the current parking analysis indicates there is capacity to handle the addition of these pickle ball courts, parking should be monitored to see how the current parking supply is impacted. Additional parallel parking along Anton Way could be considered in the future, but that would necessitate the taking of additional parkland along the street edge, which may not be desirable.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I
A-40 Memorial Park Specific Plan
32CITY OF CUPERTINO MEMORIAL PARK PARKING STUDY
Consider Making Anton Way One-Way
Since Anton Way is currently a narrow two-lane street that does not allow for parking on either side, another option for parking along Anton Way is for the City to conduct a feasibility study of turning the portion of Anton Way from Stevens Creek Boulevard to Patriot Way to one-way heading north. This configuration is used to great success during events and could be tried out on a temporary basis, but for a longer period of time than a weekend. This would free up the travel lane closest to the park to be utilized as either additional parallel parking or angled parking if a need arises for that level of parking capacity. Obviously, the surrounding neighborhood would need to be consulted and approve this type of change. With the addition of the pickle ball courts in the portion of the park closest to the Anton Way and Stevens Creek intersection, this parking option might allow for both more parking and better traffic flow.

A Parking Structure
When considering the need for structured parking, it is important to remember that occupancy of 85 percent is typically defined by the parking industry as the practical threshold that indicates a healthy and balance parking usage between supply and demand. Parking occupancy below 85 percent is considered underutilized whereas an occupancy greater than 85 percent is considered over utilized.

Current data suggests that while there may be times where parking is at a premium during certain dates and times, the overall data does not support the need for any sort of parking structure. The City should optimize and improve the efficiency and management of existing parking resources first and then conduct a viability study when the parking supply and demand are within that 85 percent range over a sustained period of time.

Tree Inventory Report
Memorial Park
Cupertino, CA

Introduction and Overview
David J. Powers & Associates, Inc. in conjunction with Gates+Associates are developing a Master Plan for Memorial Park in Cupertino, CA. HortScience | Bartlett Consulting (Divisions of The F.A. The Bartlett Expert Tree Company) was asked to prepare a Tree Inventory Report for trees at this location to assist with planning and future development.

This report provides the following information:

1. An assessment of the health and structural condition of the trees within the park’s boundary area based on a visual inspection from the ground.

2. Preliminary guidelines for tree preservation during the design, construction, and maintenance phases of development.

Assessment Methods
Trees were assessed on September 2, 14, and 28, 2022. Tree assessment included trees with diameters of 4 inches or greater located within the boundaries provided by the client. The assessment procedure consisted of the following steps:

1. Identifying the tree species.

2. T agging trees and recording locations on a map.

3. Measuring the trunk diameter at a point 54 inches above grade.

4. Evaluating the health and structural condition using a scale of 1 – 5:
5 - A healthy, vigorous tree, reasonably free of signs and symptoms of disease, with good structure and form typical of the species.
4 - Tree with slight decline in vigor, small amount of twig dieback, minor str uctural defects that could be corrected.
3 - Tree with moderate vigor, moderate twig and small branch dieback, thinning of crown, poor leaf color, moderate structural defects that might be mitigated with regular care.
2 - Tree in decline, epicormic growth, extensive dieback of medium to large branches, significant structural defects that cannot be abated. 1 - Tree in severe decline, dieback of scaffold branches and/or trunk; most of foliage from epicormics; extensive structural defects that cannot be abated.

5. Rating the suitability for preservation as “high”, “moderate” or “low”. Suitability for preservation considers the health, age and structural condition of the tree, and its potential to remain an asset to the site for years to come.

High: Trees with good health and structural stability that have the potential for longevity at the site.

Moderate: Trees with somewhat declining health and/or structural defects than can be abated with treatment. The tree will require more intense management and monitoring, and may have shorter life span than those in ‘high’ category.

Low: Trees in poor health or with significant structural defects that cannot be mitigated. Tree is expected to continue to decline, regardless of treatment. The species or individual may have characteristics that are undesirable for landscapes, and generally are unsuited for use areas. -

Description of Trees
Five hundred sixty (560) trees representing thirty-four species were assessed (Table 1). Overall, 357 trees were in good condition, 148 were in fair condition, 53 were in poor condition, and two were dead. In general species were ornamental, non-native and commonly observed in the region. While coast redwood, coast live oak, and western sycamore are native to the area, trees were not indigenous to the site. Trees #340, 370 and 371 were located off-site but were included because their canopy overhung the western park boundary. Descriptions of each tree can be found in the Tree Assessment Form and approximate locations are shown on the Tree Inventory Map (see Attachments).

Memorial Park is a 28-acre public park with open grass fields, sports courts, pedestrian pathways, playground, amphitheater, picnic areas, and other public amenities including Quinlan Community Center and Cupertino Sports Center. The landscape varied from irrigated turf with lush redwoods to dry non-irrigated hillsides.

Coast redwood was the most common species with
191 trees (34% of the population). One hundred
eleven (111) trees were in good condition (58%) with a
full healthy crown. The remaining redwoods (42%)
were in fair (63 trees) and poor (15 trees) condition,
and trees #399 and 429 were dead. Age and size
ranged from young to mature and from 5 to 60 inches
in diameter. In general, the trees in good condition
were growing in irrigated turf (PPhoto 1). Many of the trees in fair and poor condition were suffering from
drought stress with moderate to extreme canopy
dieback (PPhoto 2). Coast redwoods are not drought
tolerant and will show signs of water stress if
supplemental irrigation is not provided. Redwoods in
fair condition may recover from drought if adequate
irrigation is applied.

The City of Cupertino protects private trees that meet certain criterion (Chapter 14.18.050), and all public trees (Chapter 14.12). According to City Ordinance 14.12, public tree is defined as park trees and street trees collectively; and park trees are defined as all woody vegetation in public parks owned by the City, or to which the public has access as a park. Based on this definition, all trees in Memorial Park are Protected.

Additionally, City Ordinance Chapter 14.18.050 protects Heritage trees in all zoning districts.

Heritage trees have an identification tag on them which designates their status (Chapter

14.18.090). Based on this designation, no tree in Memorial Park has Heritage status.

Suitability for Preservation
Before evaluating the impacts that will occur during development, it is important to consider the quality of the tree resource itself, and the potential for individual trees to function well over an extended length of time. Trees that are preserved on development sites must be carefully selected to make sure that they may survive development impacts, adapt to a new environment and perform well in the landscape. Our goal is to identify trees that have the potential for long- term health, structural stability, and longevity within the proposed development.

Evaluation of suitability for preservation considers several factors:

 Tree health
Healthy, vigorous trees are better able to tolerate impacts such as root injury, demolition of existing structures, changes in soil grade and moisture, and soil compaction than are non-vigorous trees. For example, coast redwoods with a full healthy crown will tolerate impacts from construction better than redwoods that are drought stressed.

 Structural integrity
Trees with significant amounts of wood decay and other structural defects that cannot be corrected are likely to fail. Such trees should not be preserved in areas where damage to people or property is likely. For example, honey locust #238 had extensive trunk wounds and basal decay and had low suitability for preservation.

 Species response
There is a wide variation in the response of individual species to construction impacts and changes in the environment. Coast redwood, Canary Island pine, and coast live oak are tolerant of root severance and general construction impacts while California black walnut is intolerant. Callery pear and Chinese pistache are moderate in response.

 Tree age and longevity
Old trees, while having significant emotional and aesthetic appeal, have limited physiological capacity to adjust to an altered environment. Young to semi-mature coast live oaks would be better able to generate new tissue and to respond to change than mature oak #338.

 Invasiveness
Species that spread across a site and displace desired vegetation are not always appropriate for retention. This is particularly true when indigenous species are displaced.

The California Invasive Plant Inventory Database (http://www.cal-ipc.org/paf/) lists species identified as being invasive. Cupertino is part of the Central West Floristic -

Province. Of the assessed species, Mexican fan palm is moderately invasive and purpleleaf plum has limited invasiveness.

Each tree was rated for suitability for preservation based upon its age, health, structural condition, and ability to safely coexist within a development environment (Table 2). We consider trees with high suitability for preservation to be the best candidates for preservation. We do not recommend retention of trees with low suitability for preservation in areas where people or property will be present. Retention of trees with moderate suitability for preservation depends upon the intensity of proposed site changes.

Table 2: Tree suitability for preservation
Memorial Park. Cupertino, CA

High Trees in this category had good health and structural stability that have the potential for longevity at the site. Two hundred ninety-three (293) trees had high suitability for preservation: 114 coast redwoods, 34 coast live oaks, 24 Chinese pistaches, 19 red maples, 13 Japanese flowering cherries, 12 purpleleaf plums, African fern-pines #16, 17, 52, 56, 65, and 102 – 104; evergreen ashes #176, 382 – 386, 447, and 448; London planes #297, 298, 314, 329, 337, and 339; western sycamores #354 – 357; Callery pears #305 and 537, Chinese elms #488 and 489, crape myrtles #322 and 323, evergreen pears #315 and 534, Italian stone pine #484, sawleaf zelkova #261 and 263, Leyland cypress #119, Mexican fan palm #380, and Raywood ash #336.

Moderate Trees in this category have fair health and/or structural defects that may be abated with treatment. Trees in this category require more intense management and monitoring and may have shorter lifespans than those in the “high” category. One hundred seventy-two (172) trees had moderate suitability for preservation: 58 coast redwoods, 47 Callery pears, 10 African fern-pines, 10 Italian stone pines; Chinese elms #57 – 64 and 73; evergreen pears #341 – 343, 346, 347, and 349; Japanese flowering cherries #332, 375, 376, 485, and 486; sawleaf zelkovas #262, 275, and 344; silk trees #19 – 21; coast live oaks #434 and 442; Scot’s pines #469 and 487; Chinese pistache #12, London plane #479, and tobira #351.

Low Trees in this category are in poor health or have significant defects in structure that cannot be abated with treatment. These trees can be expected to decline regardless of management. The species or individual tree may possess either characteristics that are undesirable in landscape settings or be unsuited for use areas. Ninety-five (95) trees had low suitability for preservation: 19 coast redwoods, 16 California black walnuts, 14 honey locusts, 11 Callery pears, Japanese flowering cherries #69 – 72, 260, 300, 330, and 331; Hollywood junipers #473 - 475, 477, and 478; evergreen pears #547 – 550; African fern-pines #556 and 558; coast live oaks #369 and 441; photinias #348 and 350; Scots’ pines #467 and 468; crabapple #299, Monterey pine #370, Raywood ash #309, sawleaf zelkova #345, tobira #352, and western sycamore #353.

Tree Preservation Guidelines
The goal of tree preservation is not merely tree survival during development but maintenance of tree health and beauty for many years. Trees retained on sites that are either subject to extensive injury during construction or are inadequately maintained become a liability rather than an asset.

The response of individual trees depends on the amount of excavation and grading, care with which demolition is undertaken, and construction methods. Coordinating any construction activity inside the T
REE PROTECTION ZONE can minimize these impacts.

The following recommendations will help reduce impacts to trees from development and maintain and improve their health and vitality through the clearing, grading and construction phases.

Tree Protection Zone

1. A
TREE PROTECTION ZONE shall be identified for each tree to be preserved on the Tree Protection Plan prepared by the project arborist.
a. Fence all trees to be retained to completely enclose the TREE PROTECTION ZONE prior to demolition, grubbing or grading. Fences shall be 6 ft. chain link with posts sunk into the ground or equivalent as approved by the City.
b. Fences must be installed prior to beginning demolition and must remain until construction is complete.
c. No grading, excavation, construction, or storage or dumping of materials shall occur within the T
REE PROTECTION ZONE.
d. No underground services including utilities, sub-drains, water, or sewer shall be placed in the TREE PROTECTION ZONE.

Design recommendations

1. Plot accurate locations of all trees to be preserved on all project plans. Identify the TREE PROTECTION ZONE for each tree. Focus on preserving trees that have high suitability for preservation.

2. Plan for tree preservation by designing adequate space around trees to be preserved. This is the TREE PROTECTION ZONE: No grading, excavation, construction, or storage of materials should occur within that zone. Route underground services including utilities, sub -drains, water, or sewer around the TREE PROTECTION ZONE. For design purposes, the TREE PROTECTION ZONE trees shall be defined as the tree dripline.

3. Consider the vertical clearance requirements near trees during design. Avoid designs that would require pruning more than 20% of a tree’s canopy.

4. All plans affecting trees shall be reviewed by the Consulting Arborist with regard to tree impacts. These include, but are not limited to, demolition plans, grading plans, drainage plans, utility plans, and landscape and irrigation plans.

5. Tree Preservation Guidelines prepared by the Consulting Arborist, which include specifications for tree protection during demolition and construction, should be included on all plans.

6. Do not lime the subsoil within 50’ of any tree. Lime is toxic to tree roots.

7. As trees withdraw water from the soil, expansive soils may shrink within the root area.

Therefore, foundations, footings, and pavements on expansive soils near trees should be designed to withstand differential displacement.

Pre-demolition and pre-construction treatments and recommendations

1. The demolition and construction superintendents shall meet with the Consulting Arborist before beginning work to review all work procedures, access routes, storage areas, and tree protection measures.

2. Fence all trees to be retained to completely enclose the T REE PROTECTION ZONE prior to
demolition, grubbing or grading. Fences shall be 6 ft. chain link with posts sunk into the ground or equivalent as approved by the City.

3. Fences are to remain until all grading and construction is completed.

4. Tree(s) to be removed that have branches extending into the canopy of tree(s) or located within the
TREE PROTECTION ZONE of tree(s) to remain shall be removed by a Certified Arborist or Certified Tree Worker and not by the demolition contractor. The Certified Arborist or Certified Tree Worker shall remove the trees in a manner that causes no damage to the tree(s) and understory to remain. Stumps shall be ground below grade.

Summary
Five hundred sixty (560) trees representing thirty-four species were assessed. Coast redwood was the most common species with 191 trees (34% of the population). Tree condition varied by species. Overall, 357 trees were in good condition, 148 were in fair condition, 53 were in poor condition, and two were dead. Trees age ranged from young to mature in development. Tree size ranged from 4 inches to 60 inches in diameter with an average of 17 inches.

In general, trees that are the best candidates for preservation are those in good condition with good to moderate suitability for preservation (354 trees). Trees in poor health with low suitability for preservation (55 trees) should be considered for removal. If trees are to be retained, it is imperative to provide sufficient irrigation to relieve the current water-stress of the coast redwoods.

Maintenance of impacted trees
Preserved trees will experience a physical environment different from that pre-development. As a result, tree health and structural stability should be monitored. Occasional pruning, fertilization, mulch, pest management, replanting and irrigation may be required. In addition, provisions for monitoring both tree health and structural stability following construction must be made a priority.

Inspect trees annually and following major storms to identify conditions requiring treatment to manage risk associated with tree failure.

Our procedures included assessing trees for observable defects in structure. This is not to say that trees without significant defects will not fail. Failure of apparently defect-free trees does occur, especially during storm events. Wind forces, for example, can exceed the strength of defect-free wood causing branches and trunks to break. Wind forces coupled with rain can saturate soils, reducing their ability to hold roots, and blow over defect-free trees. Although we cannot predict all failures, identifying those trees with observable defects is a critical component of enhancing public safety.

Furthermore, trees change over time. Our inspections represent the condition of the tree at the time of inspection. As trees age, the likelihood of failure of branches or entire trees increases .

Annual tree inspections are recommended to identify changes to tree health and structure. In addition, trees should be inspected after storms of unusual severity to evaluate damage and structural changes. Initiating these inspections is the responsibility of the client and/or tree owner.

Community Engagement Methods
The success of the Memorial Park Specific Plan relied
on the involvement of community members to shape
the project’s vision, goals, and priorities. Outreach
and engagement were pivotal components of the
planning process to inform the development of the
site design and ensure Memorial Park reflects the the
needs of Cupertino’s diverse community.

Community engagement for the project was
conducted in three rounds utilizing virtual and in-
person formats to solicit input and provide a variety
of convenient options to get involved. Outreach
activities included virtual focus group meetings,
webinars, online surveys, public presentations,
public comment periods, and in-person events
in Cupertino. The engagement strategy utilized
multiple avenues to increase public awareness of the
project and its outreach events, including digital and
printed promotional materials.

Focus Group Interviews
The purpose of focus group interviews is to provide
community members with an opportunity to speak
in a small group setting with the project team. These
meetings help the project team gain in-depth details
on park priorities from representatives of designated
topics. Seven focus group interviews occurred
between September and December 2022 and included
over 30 participants from resident neighborhoods,
local civic and community organizations, cultural
groups, school districts, advocacy groups, and City
of Cupertino staff.

Focus group interviews included dialogue about
existing uses, the park’s identity scenarios now and
in the future, and the types of spaces or features
desired. Participants first were asked which primary
identity scenario they would currently use to define
the park—Civic Event Space, Community Gathering
Space, or Natural Site and Park. Participants
provided input about how they use the park, what
they like, and what challenges they have noticed.

Following this discussion, participants were asked to
select the primary identity scenario they would like
to see emphasized in the future, using the same three
options available to define the park currently—Civic
Event Space, Community Gathering Space, or Natural
Site and Park. The next series of questions solicited
input about specific features participants would like
to see at Memorial Park that support these three
identity scenarios. The meeting concluded with an
open discussion about other concerns or possibilities
to revitalize the park.

C-4 Memorial Park Specific Plan
Community Webinar
A community webinar was held on September
15, 2022, to introduce the project to the public and
offer a forum for community input. In this virtual
information session, participants learned about
specific project goals, milestones, and opportunities
for community involvement. Several online polls
conducted during the webinar collected data from
participants on residence demographics and park
usage.

A second community webinar was conducted on
February 9, 2023, to present the preliminary concept
plans and gather community feedback to build
towards a preferred design. In this virtual session,
the project team shared the design inputs that guided
the concept development and the prior community
engagement efforts and key findings. The participants
were introduced to the three preliminary concept
plans for the revitalized Memorial Park.

Pop-Ups in the Community
Pop-up booths at community events employ a “go
to them” approach by raising awareness about
the project and offering interactive, in-person
information-gathering activities. In addition to
gathering important input from the public, pop-
up events also help increase participation in other
engagement opportunities, such as the community
survey and events later in the project process.

During initial pop-up events for the Memorial Park
Specific Plan (listed below), a diverse group of over
1,400 people visited the booths, reviewed visual
materials, engaged in conversations with the project
team, and provided input about the park.

park elements and spaces as well as the park’s
overall identity. Participants were asked to select

Appendix C Community Engagement Data C-5
one of three identity scenarios—Civic Event Space,
Community Gathering Space, or Natural Site and
Park—to identify the park now and how they would
like it to be in the future. Participants also voted for their two favorite current features of Memorial Park
and for their two most desired features in each of the
three identity scenarios.

Open House
An open house event was held on Saturday,
February 4, 2023, at the Cupertino Senior Center to
collect feedback on the preliminary concept plans in
an in-person format. Approximately 50 community
members attended this event, and while there were
several children and teens, most attendees were
adults and seniors.

The three preliminary concept plans were displayed
on large poster boards and participants provided
comments explaining their likes, dislikes, and other
observations for each one. Participants used dot
stickers to vote for the most important features to
include in the final concept plan and a token to vote
for their favorite concept overall. Attendees also
had an opportunity to speak with the project team,
discuss ideas, and learn more about the Memorial
Park Specific Plan.

Survey
The purpose of a survey is to gather broad-based
input on a range of topics important to the Memorial
Park Specific Plan, and an online version allows
people to participate from a wide variety of locations
on their own time while still providing valuable
feedback on the project.

The initial survey for the Memorial Park Specific Plan
was conducted virtually on the Engage Cupertino
website during the first round of community
engagement and ran from September 8 through
October 9, 2022. The survey was offered in English,
Hindi, and Chinese. Over 850 responses to the online
survey were received from youth, adults, and seniors.

The initial project survey asked the community to
identify spaces and features most liked and desired
at Memorial Park and to identify the primary identity
scenario—Civic Event Space, Community Gathering
Space, or Natural Site and Park—which best describes
the park at present and how it should evolve in the
future. Participants also provided information about
their park visiting habits, residence areas, and other
demographics.

The second survey was also conducted virtually on
the Engage Cupertino website during the second
round of community engagement. It ran from January
25 through February 22, 2023. Over 1,000 responses
to the online survey were received from a broad cross
section of the Cupertino community.

The second project survey asked community
members to identify their favorite and least favorite
features of the three preliminary concept plans, to
choose their overall preferred option, and to indicate
the reason for their choice. Participants also selected the most important features to include in the final
concept plan.

Public Meetings
At various stages throughout the project,
presentations and announcements were given at
City of Cupertino public meetings, including City
Council, Parks and Recreation Commission, Bicycle
Pedestrian Commission, Planning Commission,
Library, Commission, and Teen Commission. During
these meetings, commissioners, council members,
and the public had opportunities to review project
information and receive progress updates. At some
meetings, attendees provided feedback to guide the
development of the Memorial Park Specific Plan.

Public Comment Period
A public comment period began on August 31, 2023,
and ran for two weeks. During this time, the preferred
concept plan was posted on the Engage Cupertino
website, and community members responded with
feedback sent directly to the City via email.

C-8 Memorial Park Specific Plan
Round 1 Results: Community Themes
Community outreach efforts during the initial stage
of the project collected input on a wide range of
topics including current park features, usage habits,
and ideas for revitalizing Memorial Park. Outreach
themes highlighted during the first round of
engagement align with several themes and priorities
identified in the City’s Parks and Recreation System
Master Plan, as outlined below.

The Parks and Recreation System Master Plan’s
vision for Memorial Park recommends expanding
the civic event and community gathering spaces and
enhancing natural site and park features. Participants
in the outreach process for the Memorial Park Specific
Plan support this recommendation and agree that the
park best serves the community by providing spaces
and features that focus on all three identity scenarios:

Civic Event Space, Community Gathering Space, and
Natural Site and Park. Overall, the community wants
Memorial Park to be easy to get to and move through,
include distinctive spaces for social activities, offer a wide variety of engaging recreation options in
a nature-oriented setting, and support a healthy,
cohesive community in a manner that is uniquely
Cupertino.

Suggested improvements for the park focused on a
combination of passive and active uses, as well as
social and individual experiences. Improving event
spaces such as the amphitheater, enhancing the tree
canopy and shade, adding recreation activities and
amenities, enhancing nature experiences, expanding
inclusive options, and improving park access
were recommendations outlined in the Parks and
Recreation System Master Plan equally supported by
outreach input for the Memorial Park Specific Plan.

Residents want easy, enhanced access
to parks and recreation opportunities.

Community members want more
opportunities to connect to nature.

Cupertino desires a variety of play
experiences for all ages and abilities.

Parks and recreation opportunities
should reflect Cupertino’s character,
heritage, and diverse community.

Residents and visitors desire a wide
range of recreation options.

Residents appreciate community
events and would like to see more
spaces in Cupertino for bringing
people together.

Park and Facility Access
A park that is convenient to
visit, easy to navigate, and
accommodating to a diverse
range of needs creates users
who are more confident,
comfortable, and satisfied with
the park experience. Round 1 outreach participants
indicated that improving access to activities and
amenities at Memorial Park was a priority. Bike lane
connectivity, pedestrian paths, parking, inclusiveness, and mobility were all identified in outreach input as
important topics to consider for park improvements.

As community priorities related to health and
environmental sustainability evolve, active
transportation, such as walking or biking, is emerging
as a priority across the globe. Based on survey
responses received, park visitors use a wide variety
of transportation, including active methods to get
to Memorial Park. According to outreach responses,
multi-use pathways and bike-friendly access points
that connect to local trails, bicycle networks, and
sidewalks are important park features.

Improved accessibility and inclusiveness at the
park was also desired for the future Memorial Park.

Community members engaging in outreach activities
represented various different ethnicities and ages
groups and recognized that Memorial Park should
strive to meet the diverse needs of park users. For
example, amenities for all ages and abilities, such
as an inclusive playground, received support from
outreach participants.

C-10 Memorial Park Specific Plan
Nature Experience
For ecological, aesthetic, and
health reasons, nature spaces
are highly valued park features.

Natural environments provide
opportunities for meditation,
connection, and inspiration
and appeal to visitors of all ages. Memorial Park is
strongly identified by the community as a natural site.

In terms of both existing and potential park features,
nature elements and opportunities to engage with
nature were consistently rated highly during initial
engagement.

When asked about the current state of Memorial Park,
participants in all forms of community outreach gave
significant attention to the park’s natural experiences.

Nearly half of all survey respondents visit Memorial
Park to connect with nature, and according to online
responses, nature areas, trees, and lawn spaces were
favorite Memorial Park features. Looking to the
future, the community was eager to see an enhanced
tree canopy to provide more shade at the park.

Outdoor learning opportunities, sensory experiences
such as nature walks or mazes, and quiet places
of reflection were noted as potential options for
furthering the community’s connection to nature at
Memorial Park. Offering environmental-oriented
engagement that is both active and educational,
nature play was highly desired by the community.

Nature play fosters creativity and develops physical
and social skills by encouraging outdoor play with
natural elements such as logs, trees, leaves, rocks, and sand. Native plant areas or demonstration gardens
were also popular suggestions for enhancing the
park’s natural features.
“ ”
MORE grass, MORE trees please.

Unadulterated open space with trees
and grass is increasingly scarce in
today’s world. In our playtime activities,
we can do with open space.
“ ”
The park needs LOTS more shade
and drought-tolerant trees and plants.

Extraordinary Play
Outdoor play is known to
benefit both mind and body.

It is an excellent way to
experience the intrinsic joy
created by physical activity,
stay fit, connect with others,
and explore the natural world. Memorial Park
outreach activities showed that participants value
play for all ages and abilities and want diverse play
amenities that go beyond the typical to provide
elevated experiences for park visitors.

Play opportunities for children were voted a high
priority during Memorial Park outreach activities.

Playgrounds were well-liked current park features
and also garnered attention for improvement in
the future. Participants desired Memorial Park’s
playgrounds to be renovated and expanded and
suggested including new equipment for children
of all ages and abilities to improve play experiences
for the future. Nature play—an unstructured play
experience using logs, rocks, and other elements
found in nature—is a unique way for children to be
active and engage with the outdoor environment,
and it is not surprising that this feature rated highly during the outreach process, given the community’s
overall desire for more nature-oriented activities at
Memorial Park. Outreach participants also supported
the addition of new water play elements at Memorial
Park.

“ ”
The play structures need to be
updated. We rarely use that park
for its play space because the
playground is so dated and lacks shade.

C-12 Memorial Park Specific Plan
Uniquely Cupertino
Cupertino celebrates the
diversity of its residents.

Memorial Park is a multi-faceted
public space that is known for
hosting various cultural events
and providing unique recreational experiences for
the entire Cupertino community.

The park’s highest-rated features represented a broad
mix of social, natural, and physically active uses.

Attending cultural events, connecting with nature,
gathering with friends, and exercising were all top
reasons survey respondents visit Memorial Park.

Input collected during outreach activities indicated
the community supports the multi-faceted identity
of the park and takes pride in how it simultaneously
fulfills a range of purposes for the City of Cupertino.

The community recognizes that Memorial Park
is at its best when it provides events, gatherings,
recreation opportunities, and nature experiences.

This robust combination of features is part of what
makes Cupertino unique and keeps visitors coming
back to enjoy the park.

Festivals and public events at Memorial Park are
strongly supported by the community. These
activities, which highlight Cupertino’s diversity
and civic-minded enthusiasm, were voted top park
activities by outreach participants. A wide array of
community-based events and artistic performances
reflect the character of Cupertino and make Memorial
Park a unique destination. Feedback from Round 1
outreach indicated that the community desires further
enhancements to these distinct and valued park
experiences, including upgrading the amphitheater,
expanding or upgrading event spaces, and hosting
more large, outdoor events.
“
”
I have lived in Cupertino for most
of my life, and my greatest memories
there include Girl Scouts,
Shakespeare in the Park, Camps,
the Playground, meeting friends
to socialize/walk, and
holiday or festival gatherings.
“ ”
The park is a beautiful community
space that needs to continue to be
a walkable natural park.

Recreation Variety
Cupertino is a diverse
community with a broad array
of backgrounds, interests,
ages, and abilities among its
residents. For Memorial Park
to best serve that community, it needs to provide
recreation options that meet a wide range of needs,
and the community strongly supports expanding the
park’s recreation options in a variety of ways.

Many Memorial Park users frequent the park for
recreation activities such as sports, walking, running, and biking. Existing walking paths were voted the
top park feature, and outreach participants requested
multi-use paths at the park to allow for more diverse
uses. Multi-use paths connect park elements, allow
visitors to have an immersive park experience, and
can be used safely by visitors of all ages.

Active outdoor recreation amenities that appeal
to different interests were popular among outreach
participants. The park’s open lawn areas are
frequently used for informal athletic activities such
as soccer, baseball, football, and frisbee. According
to community feedback, many Memorial Park users
are active tennis and pickleball players who enjoy the
current amenities for racquet sports and support the
addition of more dedicated tennis courts, dedicated
pickleball courts, and outdoor lighting. Other
recreation amenities to serve children, teens, adults,
and seniors of all abilities, such as outdoor fitness
stations, inclusive play equipment and basketball
courts, were community-desired park enhancements.

C-14 Memorial Park Specific Plan
Social Gathering and
Celebration
As an essential element of
human health and wellness,
social interaction is known to
increase happiness, improve
brain function, and generate a
sense of safety and belonging. With several settings
for hosting large public events, as well as smaller
spaces for more intimate gatherings, Memorial
Park offers valuable opportunities for community
celebrations and social activities that, according to
outreach participants, should be enhanced in the
future.

Memorial Park is already geared toward community-
building social activities for users. According to
the survey, the most popular reason respondents
visit Memorial Park is to attend special events such
as the Cupertino Cherry Blossom Festival, Silicon
Valley Day ‘N Night Fun Fest, and Shakespeare in
the Park. While the community is generally satisfied
with Memorial Park’s event offerings, input from all
methods of outreach suggested that spaces for large
outdoor events should be expanded or upgraded,
including an improved amphitheater to make events
in Cupertino even better.

According to outreach results, the community
would also like Memorial Park to offer a variety of
comfortable, flexible spaces to hold intimate private
gatherings and socialize with friends and family.

To address the lack of shade and other layout
issues contributing to underutilization of existing
picnic areas in Memorial Park, community outreach
participants requested improved picnic areas and
more social gathering spaces throughout the park.

According to outreach responses, the addition of
shade elements was important for picnic areas, as
well as other park settings. Expanding the tree canopy
was a popular option to increase overall shade in
Memorial Park. Participants also favored shade
structures, e.g., gazebos, canopies, and shade sails, to increase available shade at playgrounds, picnic areas,
and event spaces, allowing social activities to take
place more comfortably and more frequently.

Image C-8: Shakespeare in the Park
“ ”
It is a lovely park, but the best feature
is the amphitheater, and I love
to attend the annual Shakespeare
in the Park performances.

New BBQ spots with shade
would be fantastic.

Park layout can be improved for
festivals and gatherings.

Design Process
Data from the initial outreach findings led to the
development of three unique design alternatives for
community review and feedback. When creating
the preliminary concept plans, the design team
considered public input and other information
collected about all aspects of the park, including
accessibility, connectivity, sustainability, safety,
recreation, and community wellness. Each park
concept was inspired by one of the three identity
scenarios—Civic Event Space, Community
Gathering Space, and Natural Site and Park—
highlighted in the Parks and Recreation System
Master Plan and focused on specific park features
related to the concept’s affiliated scenario. However,
in alignment with outreach results from Round 1, all
three concepts contained some aspects of each park
identity scenario, blending community, civic, and
natural elements in their designs.

Although the specific layouts varied by concept, the
following features were included in all three designs:
•
P
assive garden walk with native plant areas,
tree groves, pathways, interpretive signage, and
shaded picnic areas
•

Concept A: Community Focus
Concept A offered a wide range of community-
oriented activities while balancing the natural and
civic elements of the park. The focal point of this
concept was a large, multi-age play area (on the site of the current softball field) with a variety of recreation amenities, including an expanded playground, three
dedicated pickleball courts, games (e.g., bocce, ping
pong), an outdoor fitness station, and a bike traffic
garden. The design also featured a large passive
garden walk in the center of the park, as well as
two event lawns and an event plaza. An upgraded
amphitheater remained in its current location.

Concept B expanded and enhanced the park’s
natural elements and blended them with other civic
and community-oriented spaces. An educational
garden zone and a nature playground enhanced
the southern portion of the park and created an
expansive area focused on engagement with the
natural world. This design featured an upgraded
amphitheater in its current location and retained the
existing softball field. A new event lawn and event
plaza were included in the design, which connected
to the Quinlan event lawn via a passive garden
walk. Four dedicated pickleball courts replaced one
existing tennis court.

Concept C: Civic Focus
Concept C enhanced opportunities for civic
engagement while integrating nature and
community-oriented elements of the park. A major
feature of this concept was a relocated and expanded
amphitheater on the site of the current softball field.

Adjacent to the amphitheater, a passive garden walk
led to an upgraded playground in its current location.

Two event lawns, an event plaza, and an interactive
cultural exhibit area provided a variety of spaces for
festivals, performances, and other large-scale public
activities. The six existing tennis courts featured dual striping for tennis and pickleball use.

feedback about the three preliminary concept plans
to inform the development of a preferred design for
Memorial Park. The goal of this round of outreach
was to gauge public sentiment about different concept
features and layouts and determine priorities for the
final concept plan.

Key Themes & Features
As in the first round of outreach, the community
showed strong support for play-based and active
recreation elements, nature spaces and experiences,
and areas for social gatherings and community
activities. Features such as the passive garden walk,
playgrounds, pickleball courts, and amphitheater
ranked as favorite elements of each of the three
concepts.

Play
Play amenities for children are highly important
to park users. During the second round of public
engagement, the community supported an improved
playground experience at Memorial Park. Playground
elements ranked highly in feedback provided about all
three concepts. The upgraded playground (Concept
C), relocated/expanded playground (Concept A),
and nature playground (Concept B) all finished in
the top 10 for most important elements to include in
the final concept plan. The nature playground, which
was very popular in Round 1 outreach, continued to
be a community favorite—in Round 2, it received the
most total votes for any concept feature. Comments
provided by some outreach participants suggested
that the park design should include two playground

areas, as currently featured on the site, and should
expand inclusive play opportunities.

Active Recreation
In addition to playgrounds, the community would
like Memorial Park to provide a variety of active
recreation amenities. Survey respondents selected
“recreation amenities for all ages and abilities” as
the top reason for their preferred concept choice.

Pickleball courts, which can be used by youth and
adults of all ages, finished in the top five for the most liked feature of each of the concept alternatives, and
according to survey results, dedicated pickleball
courts were voted the second most important feature
to include in the final park design. Tennis courts were also highly rated features of all three preliminary
concept plans. Overall, the community preferred
dedicated pickleball courts at Memorial Park rather
than dual-use tennis/pickleball courts. Basketball,
softball, and volleyball amenities were also supported
by some outreach participants.

What a great opportunity here.

I’m a big fan of the Pickleball courts.

Also, more shade for walking,
sitting, and picnics.

Nature
Nature has been a key component of Memorial Park’s
history, and the Cupertino community continues to
value nature-oriented park spaces. A passive garden
walk was a highly desired feature for the park’s future design. According to the online survey, this expansive
natural area featuring trees, plants, pathways, and
shade finished in the top five for all three concepts and received the highest number of total votes for most
important feature to include the final concept plan.

Survey participants selected “nature experience” as
the second most supported reason for choosing their
favorite concept overall. The survey’s open-ended
comment responses about green space, nature, trees,
shade, sustainability, plants, and climate change
illustrated a community preference for natural and
environmental park components.

C-22 Memorial Park Specific Plan
Concept Priorities
Results from Round 2 outreach revealed the
community’s preferences and priorities for Memorial
Park’s design. In general, the community preferred
a balance of passive and active amenities, including
play, social gathering, fitness, nature, and civic
engagement, and favored the concept plan that best
reflects those priorities.

With 50% of votes from all outreach activities, Concept A: Community Focus was the overall preferred option.

Online survey participants preferred the relocated/
expanded playground included as part of the multi-
age play area on the site of the existing softball field.

Concept A was also the only preliminary concept plan
for which pickleball ranked in the top three favorite
features, per survey votes. The dedicated pickleball
courts located in the multi-age play area finished as
the third most liked feature of this concept.

The top reasons survey participants chose their
favorite concepts highlighted Memorial Park’s key
themes of recreation, play, social gathering, and
nature. When identifying the most liked aspect
of Concept A, the preliminary concept plan most
preferred by the community, survey participants
selected options that aligned most closely with the
concept’s focus on community recreation and play.

When asked to select the most important features
across all preliminary concept plans to be included
in the final design, the community again focused
on a unique combination of play-based recreation,
nature elements, and social amenities. The nature-
focused passive garden walk topped the list, while
playgrounds and pickleball courts also received
significant support from outreach participants. To
improve opportunities for gatherings and public
events, the community prioritized shaded picnic
areas and relocated/upgraded restrooms that are
more accommodating to users in various areas of the
park.

Preferred Concept Plan
Feedback from the community, as well as City
staff and commissioners, was synthesized into the
preferred concept plan for Memorial Park. This
design used Concept A—the favorite concept from
Round 2 outreach—while blending some of the most
popular features from Concepts B and C into a single
plan that cohesively serves the diverse needs of the
community.

The preferred concept plan features a large multi-
age play area with a relocated/expanded playground
and three dedicated pickleball courts on the site of
the current softball field, as shown in Concept A.

One full-size basketball court, a recreation amenity
frequently suggested by the community during
both rounds of outreach, was added to the design.

The preferred concept plan also incorporated a large
passive garden walk (popular in all three preliminary
concept plans) in the center of the park, a nature
playground, an upgraded amphitheater, multiple
event lawns, a variety of picnic areas, and numerous
other features.

In June 2023, the preferred concept plan was presented
to City Council and the public. At this meeting,
supporters of the softball field vocalized opposition
to the removal of the amenity as proposed. Public
comments discussed the benefits of the softball
field to the mental and physical wellbeing of the
players, while expressing concern that removing
the softball field would deny valuable recreation
opportunities to people in Cupertino. Other public
participants endorsed the preferred concept plan as
shown, citing the significant outreach efforts that
informed the preferred concept plan and the softball
field’s consistently low ranking during that process.

Participants noted that the various new proposed
amenities would expand passive and active recreation
opportunities and would be used by a broader scope
of the community.

In consideration of the numerous requests made by
softball supporters to keep the softball field, City
Council voted to approve the preferred concept plan
with the condition that the softball field remains in its current location and new features formerly proposed
for that area are relocated.
“
Excited about [the] updated
amphitheater! My favorite Cupertino
events are the summer concerts
in Memorial Park.
“ ”
I’m happy with all of these concepts.

Looking forward to seeing how the
park evolves.
”
“ ”
All concepts look amazing and I am
excited about the plans that the city
has for this park!

Revised Preferred Concept Plan
A revised preferred concept plan was posted online
for public review in August/September 2023. In the
updated design, the softball field remained in its
existing location, in place of the previously proposed
multi-age play area. Several park amenities, including
the playground, passive garden walk, basketball
court, and pickleball courts, were relocated to other
areas of the park. The revised preferred concept
plan featured four dedicated pickleball courts at the
southeast corner of the park along Anton Way. During
the public comment period, the local pickleball
community indicated that the proposed number of
pickleball courts was insufficient to accommodate
the growing demand for this amenity. As a result,
the number of pickleball courts increased to a total
of eight.

We did love the ponds and have not been going lately because there was no water feature None As husband and i see this site has perfect for an Olympic size year round pool and aquatic center. There is no such swimming options in Cupertino. Cupertino has golf, tennis, ball fields, ice skating, but no olympic size pool. We have blackberry farm fir 8 weeks in thr summer, but its not designed for lap swimming. Or only option is Fremont HS for limited times. We must pay Sunnyvale rates Cupertino doesn’t have such options. We have many parks. Please give residents swimming options

We could build one near Cupertino Sports Center so the residents can use the swimming pool year around for a low fee such as $2-$3.

Senior center
Lake/Pond - this needs to be made active - it is so nice to enjoy waterside picnicking - too bad that we haven’t been making use of the wonderful potential opportunity within 5 min of home. There are already so many natural areas in Cupertino - it is not necessary to make each area natural habitat only - let’s have some variety - every proposal in Cupertino is to make habitats for animals - the park space, playgrounds are not being maintained making it less enjoyable for people to come. The survey presents limited choices for the vision of Cupertino Parks - we should not make this about having green space vs having community gathering space be having a natural habitat. It should be about having all three - these three don’t need ti be collocates. If the creek trail along Lawrence will be expanded to only include natural habitat meant for dog walking and bicycling, then let’s use memorial park for more family friendly items (magical bridges playground, water play area, sensory/musical playground for families with children. Having a man made lake/pond, fountains, water features, etc offers benefits and is an attractive picnicing/get together spot.

Please update the playground.

1. Shade… a lot of trees for shade. This place is too hot 2. Get rid of the geese and ducks. Too much poop on hardscape and grass areas keeps us away.

Memorial Park needs a better playground.
1) Protected off-leash dog area WITH REAL GRASS (not astroturf or just dirt). Discussion currently around "knoll area" adjacent to Christensen Drive which is not protected and too narrow for dogs. 2) Dedicated pickelball courts (or have a place to store PB nets if using hybrid tennis courts) 3) Move July 4th fireworks back to DeAnza College and make Memorial Park an ideal viewing area for this special event None of the above. Keep it natural; trees, shaded paths for walking, exercise stations, low maintenance plants/flowers.

More collaboration with De Anza College for event parking. Please do not take precious park land for parking.

A nature and animal museum place where kids can go an learn about all kinds of things. History of the valley and the transformation expanding the museum at the the Community Center make it more kid friendly hands on experiences like at the Monterey Aquarium. Why should a park not have such a feature? Area to play with pets
Swimming pool open year round for recreation
None
Dedicated pickleball courts.

Enable smaller groups to have a variety of activiteis concurrently. Setup 4-5 group spaces surrounded by natural shrubbery, plants and flowers where multiple groups can do Yoga, TaiChi, dancing, medication, etc. concurrently.

Separate bike and pedestrian trails Add a Skate park?
Walkways that do not include biking.

Keep the islands and water!

An often overlooked focus of gathering places is to share food together. So it's important to incorporate picnic tables or other elements where people can sit and gather to eat lunch or a snack or coffee. It's a stretch, but is there any way to include a space for a coffee shop vendor, as we have in the library building? This by itself would attract more visitors.

Maybe as part of a Senior Center improvement?
Water feature but in a conservative and sutainable way, eg small shaded ponds or artifical river.

More trees, walking paths, park should be oriented around nature, a peaceful place for people to relax. There are already too many events in this park.

No more development. General purpose park space is fine.

More Tennis courts

"More dedicated pickleball courts please, Cupertino is far behind other cities." A lot of pet parents( like myself ) like to exercise their dogs in the park. It had been a great mental health boost for us during the pandemic and beyond. It would be nice to have a dedicated space for this purpose.

Please keep the beautiful Cherry Blossoms. We come every year to enjoy them. We also love attending the Cherry Blossom Festival. We also enjoy the tennis courts.

Remove the water features and replace them with natural open space Pickle ball courts
A Garden with flowers
More play equipment for all ages of children
Ponds
Keep it natural and green. Don't add any buildings or structures. There are plenty of events at this park. People come here to enjoy there walks and see family. More attractions will increase People from outside Cupertino. Making it too crowded for locals.

More Tennis!
A dog area for smaller dogs
Would like More separation between sports areas and other areas. Some people practice unsafe habits when playing sports."
Japanese Garden like Hakone

More shade in the meeting areas, especially where the tables are.

Dedicated Pickleball courts
The park already has many areas. I don’t see a great benefit to add more. And I also don’t see a benefit in changing existing facilities that appear to function fine.

Pickle ball courts, bocci ball, places to do activities , basket ball magical bridge
A small serene waterbody near some trees with benches and a walking path around it.

Better playgrounds for kids
None. Nature site and park only.

"Shaded Bocce Ball Courts for Seniors; similar to the Martinez Bocce Ball facilities!" I'd like to add a comment to my water-play selection: I would love to see water at Memorial Park again, but only if it can be done sustainably.

New and updated playground for preschoolers till middle schoolers Lots of Pickle ball courts please More seating benches for meditation or reading
Can there be a place where local non-profit organizations can hold in-person meetings? Up to about 30 people. For a rental fee. Or a place where a local non-profit organization can hold a larger community event, such as an event with booths, displays, short presentations. Again, for a rental fee. Attendees would enjoy visiting the park's green space, walking areas, paths as part of their visit to the non-profit organization's event. No music for the event, as that disturbs the neighbors and somehow is always too loud.
1) Expanded parking areas (current parking areas too small). 2) Upgraded & remodeled bathrooms. 3) Add new bathroom structure by Amphitheater.
tall trees, draught resistant ground covering, multi-level parking building More trees and shades

Rocks and more natural terrain like trees and draught-resistant plants (less grass = less water). Literally some boulders scattered around like we had before would be awesome!
Upgraded playground for all abilities like magical bridge

1. Artificial Creek and Mini-Size Shallow Ponds (4) 2. Picnic Tables alongside the trees near Quinlan Community Center (about 10) in the shade of the tall trees. Barbeque stands (about 10) at where it's currently a row of parking space next to the walkway next to the trees. 3. Enforce the policy of ""Take home your own garbage"" so that people don't litter after barbequing and picnic. Still, keep the minimum number of trash/recyclable/compost bins so that those who don't have home can throw away garbage there. 4. Specific bike ride lane surrounding the park so that bikers can ride bike freely and also children can practice riding bike there safely with parents.

Dedicated pickleball courts like those in Sunnyvale
a nice place (sanctuary) with trees and greenery - away from the overgrowth we are seeing of multilevel buildings replacing one story buildings and businesses
better sports facilities, basketball courts and soccer fields in particular. Both are great for pickup games between friends and strangers

Cuban Gold Duranta Shrub
Bocce ball
As a long-time Cupertino resident and new pickleball player, I’d love to see dedicated pickleball courts in Memorial Park. This would alleviate the competing space of tennis and pickleball players while creating a community-inclusive sports option.

Pickleball courts

1. Big children playground similar to the magical bridge in Palo Alto more options for kids--an even bigger playground more options for teenagers--a skateboard park and teenager-specific play areas like outdoor E-sports kiosks and outdoor classes for teens (teen dance classes; teen obstacle courses Outdoor workout equipment (pull-up bar, parallel bars, etc.) More space for outdoor meditation, QiGong and such.

Dog off leash area
Restaurants, shops, water slides and theme park.
need greater variety of trees and shrubs, native plant garden I don't think the park needs upgrading. The park does not need any additional features. I don't belong to any groups that "gather" in the park.
1) Learn-to-ride bike lessons offered through the Rec Center and taught on a space at Memorial Park that is conducive to bike lessons. 2) A shed with a fleet of bicycles of varying sizes. The fleet could serve a few purposes: - community members could rent a bike as part of the Rec Center's bike lessons mentioned above - Cupertino schools could reserve a suite of bikes to accommodate each 3rd or 4th grade class for a bike lesson field trip to a Memorial Park Bike Garden (explained in my answer to question #9 below) - Ideally schools in other cities would also be able to reserve the fleet and book a bike field trip too to the Memorial Park Bicycle Garden too. This could be a way for the City to generate money. Measure B funding could be used to purchase and maintain the fleet of bicycles. If we make the education available to other cities, we could ask the County if they would be willing to contribute some of their Measure B funding as well to purchase and maintain the bicycle fleet and contribute towards bicycle education.

Shaded picnic areas
Upgrade the playgrounds to have shade covering please!
No pickle markings on the tennis courts.

Space for outdoor exercise classes
Informal sports facilities, such as a futsal court (small soccer court that could be soft or asphalt), or skatepark (there are already many basketball courts at schools etc)

More useable dedicated pickleball courts with nets that tennis players won't take over. Some pickleball events would be nice
Remove playground by tennis courts and install large updated and unique playground that would draw families from all communities
Upgraded softball field.

Upgraded bathrooms useable by all! They are outdated and gross. All our parks need their bathrooms upgraded. This is a basic need and accessibility issue. Don’t add more stuff. Fix what you have first! Bicycle/traffic garden

More shade allowing for longer and more comfortable gathering

1. Shade… a lot of trees for shade with picnic tables under them. This place is too hot 2. Get rid of the geese and ducks.

Too much poop on hardscape and grass areas keeps us away. 1) Protected off-leash dog area WITH REAL GRASS (not astroturf or just dirt). Discussion currently around "knoll area" adjacent to Christensen Drive which is not protected and too narrow for dogs. 2) Move July 4th fireworks back to De Anza College and make Memorial Park an ideal viewing area for this special event More benches in shade.

1. More trees and bushes in general 2. More shade in the table area. It's almost unusable now because who wants to sit under the full sun? 3. More trails or a bit wider trails so that walkers, bicyclists and scooter/rollerbladers could spread out a bit more in the total area. The narrowness of the trail is a problem when using the park as a conduit from Alves Drive to Mary Ave. It's doable but when the park is busy it does not work very well.

It’s not clear to me what the inclusiveness issue is. Perhaps that could be clarified in future communication. The park has a variety of options that seem to cover most people. I definitely don’t and can’t use all of those options, but there appear to be many.

A small serene waterbody near some trees with benches for meeting with friends and winding down with family in the evenings.

A dedicated skateboard / action sports area would be amazing! None. Nature site and park only.

Playground more like Nealon Park in Palo Alto
Dog park
dog fenced playground
Fenced dog off leash area
cement or asphalt pump track
Bocce Ball facilities for Seniors only &/or courts for general as well as reservation (e.g., Senior Center; individual; as well as league) use.

I don't feel strongly about any of the above.
shaded spaces for private picnics. Smaller incline on the amphitheatre seating (to allow chairs and blankets) Outdoor concerts eg like Los Gatos.
multi-story parking structure
Space to play badminton. The only space right now is to book through Cupertino Rec Center and it is always busy.

This would be a great location for an asphalt pump track. It would be great for all ages and different rollling means, bike, skateboard, scooters etc
Dog park. Everyday people bring their Dogs to walk and play. We desperately needa dog park area. bmx bike park & skate board park for children & dog park with fencing Mountain bike/Bmx park
Bike park, like a dirt jump or concrete bmx park
Bicycle pump track please

Incorporate native plants and trees with places to gather. It is a very unnatural park, and we need more plants and wildness in our lives, not more manicured foreign plants.

Bocce ball courts
How about a tent-covered area or tree shaded area with tables & pickelball courts? Grandstands for seating
I was there in 1976 July 4. Its a piss poor example of underutilized space. A tribute to small minded dept of public functionaries with no leadership and a lack of vision. Compare this large space a European city park or a Mexican park in a small town. Absurd concrete pathways, silly bridges, a few benchs. It is an afterthought. It is as well thought out as downtown Monta Vista and downtown Cupertino.

Don't get rid of the playground
Water features (fountains, waterfalls, well maintained ponds, etc), sensory/inclusive playground (music, water, etc) - we don’t want everything to be native habitat everywhere (there are other ways to enjoy things as a community) More shade

Water ponds and ducks
Restaurants, shops and water park with slides ( not the fast ones).

Outdoor movie space! Disc Golf/Shuffleboard/Bocce Ball other accessible, affordable "sports" spaces.

Nothing new is needed in the park. Please keep the dogs out of the park. 1) A large paved or decomposed granite area (maybe the size of two basketball courts) where bike classes can be held.

We currently use the Senior Center parking lot for this every summer which is not always available, which makes it hard to count on the space being free. 2) A Bicycle Garden where kids can practice bike handling skills and the rules of the road on a mini street without cars, like the one the City of Antioch is designing: https://www.antiochca.gov/ recreation/bicycle-garden/
Natural habitat preservation
none of the above. I prefer keeping the park as mostly a place to enjoy nature. The amount of group spaces, like the tennis courts, softball field, amphitheater and large group picnic area are plenty. More of this would intrude on one's ability to relax and enjoy nature casually.

More picnic areas with trees, more walking paths
upgraded tennis courts and social areas around the courts Gathering spaces next to the Community Center don't need to be expanded, but they need to be improved - more seating etc.

Outdoor classroom but with a physical structure covering for shade (maybe like a pavilion). Maybe include an outlets and outdoor speakers to the covering structure to be used for the classes.

SHADED picnic areas. We had an engagement party there on a hot day and absolutely fried in the sun.

Pond that works
Native Landscaping
Some exercise equipments that can be used by everyone. If you want more details, I can provide some pictures for the types of the exercise equipments.

we need shaded picnic areas. Currently the picnic areas are too hot in the sun during summer that we have to bring our own tent setup for our large group events. It would like to build a large pergola over the picnic area.

Do not add more pickle ball libes to tennis courts !! There is a limited # of public courts available. Hard for tennis players to call balls in/out with pickle ball lines. Put pickeball lines on cheaper flat areas. Courts cost $5K to pave so a waste to add non-tennis lines when any flat surface can be used. .

Cupertino needs a swim center like Santa Clara or Sunnyvale.

Ponds
More Tennis!
Frequent venches/seating along paths for those that have difficulty with longer walks.

Add solar on top shade through built structures
More rest room with partition between bowl and uriner . Clean restroom Please DO NOT add pickle ball striping to all the tennis courts. It is too hard to play tennis and focus on the lines. ALSO, please fix the timers. People are very aggressive and unpleasant; this gives a chance to point back to when they arrived and who has been there too long.

Bocce ball court
Separate fenced areas for large and small dogs to play off-leash on grass. Nearby off-leash dog parks on dirt and pavement regularly results in torn dog paw pads.

A bike route connecting Mary Ave to Alves Drive
Dedicated Pickleball courts
The answers here talk about “more.” I am in favor of a beautiful natural space, with ponds(!), and with some other areas for various activities, generally as exists now. I see no benefit to “native planting” as this is a city park. We have entire mountains right nearby. There is no shortage of native areas all around us. I also don’t know what a “nature-play opportunity” is, but I checked it because it includes the word nature.

Please include a small water body(small pond ). We used to really enjoy all the walks around the ponds in earlier years and miss the serenity and calmness it provided at the end of a busy day.

Water fountain using recycled water
Skateboarding or action sports area. Would be a natural fit to replace the large concrete "water" areas. cement or asphalt pump track

A bike park would be a great addition to the park and the surrounding community.

Bike park
Bike park
Bicycle pump track, skateboard opportunities
more designated pickle ball courts, please.
more boulders, logs, and other obstacles to ride on
Do more about the goose issue
More boulders and logs to ride on.

1. Placing Two Basketball Nets: Best may be where there is a softball area is. Kids can play basketball there. 2. Some wheelchair friendly paths. 3. Some varieties of eye-pleasing trees and bushes. 4. Educational: rainwater harvesting system experimental site for kids to see and enjoy. A building structure where kids and the building can be one.

Dedicated pickleball courts like those in Sunnyvale
Community garden
refill the water pond
A Rainwater Harvesting station for play Some bike lanes specifically designed for small children so that they can practice riding bike with adults: In other words, a safe flat ground for children and adults to use for recreation.

Small water fountain using recirculating water
More tennis courts.

Greenfields outdoor equipment, Please!
Fishing pond
Water features, fountains, playground, sensory (musical/water) playgrounds Community garden

Write-in Responses for ‘Other’ [continued]
Water ponds and ducks
Water slides and theme park like Disneyland.

Outdoor movie space!
Please, no off-leash dogs. They're everywhere already.

More trees and native plantings would pair well with the Bicycle Garden, especially if the trees provide shade along the mini street
No pickle ball striping on the tennis courts! There are already shortages of tennis courts in Cupertino. If the city wants pickle ball courts, build them here separately. Don't takeaway tennis courts.And, enforce the use of courts that are being used by non-city private lessons. Fines should be $500 minimum as a deterrence. I cannot tell you how many times courts around the city are being used illegally for teaching private lessons.

Futsal courts (they can be multi purpose)
I know it’s drought all the time now but a small waterfall in a shady area would be nice for meditation and relaxing.

This would not use too much water
Less grass for water conservation and less maintenance. Add drought resistant cactus and/or succulents; botanical garden. Grow milkweed for monarch butterflies.

Rose Garden
Japanese garden theme without the water part (more pagodas, Japanese style bridge, etc.) to pay tribute to the strong sister city connection with Toyokawa.

Maybe a rose garden planted around gazebo near the amphitheater. There used to be beautiful roses planted around that which brought a nice natural color to the gazebo.

Playground
Pond
Exercise equipments.
dedicated pickle ball courts, more trees and shade
Natural focal points, like water feature or garden that become unique focal points to identify park Rose garden.

Keep it open. Don’t put buildings here. We need space, peaceful natural areas not manmade, concrete structures! We don’t need more sports fields because the parking sucks as it is! You can’t support anymore sports. Keep it open for all Bicycle/traffic garden
Recreate lake | water feature. Use recycled water.

Round 1 Survey Question 15: Is there anything else you’d like us to know about Memorial Park? Write-in Responses
- Improved/cleaner restroom would be nice.
- Allow night time access
1) It is the GEM of Cupertino. Especially with Westport coming online in the next few years, we need to make Memorial Park a true destination for the community. 2) Also, for the revitalized dry pond project, it wasn't clear in the description what "turf" really meant - is that real grass or astroturf? I hope the former because astroturf would be too hard to maintain. Please clarify on your project website. 3) It would have been nice to have this survey feedback before you started your pond project so we could give input on what to do with those ponds. Is it too late? If not, please incorporate my feedback re off-leash dog area and pickle ball courts to the list of possibilities, and 4) thank you for the opportunity to give input! I wasn't sure we'd get the chance. I'm most grateful to be part of the Cupertino community.

1. Shade… a lot of trees for shade with picnic tables under them. This place is too hot

2. Get rid of the geese and ducks. Too much poop on hardscape and grass areas keeps us away.

A pump track for bikes would be cool
A skate park would be a great addition!
A small coffee & ice cream shop
A snack shack or a type of mobile food vehicle.

A water feature for kids would be lovely!
Access to more parking is an issue for festivals and events, especially for older adults. Need raised stage closer to audience for amphitheater performances.

Add more native plants
Adding Dogs Off Leash Area is the top most priority for my family.

Always liked the fountains and water features
An off leash dog park should be fenced off. There are people who let their untrained dogs off leash in unfenced areas.

Would love to see more features like the existing gazebo that can be utilized by small and medium groups.

Areas welcoming wildlife would be nice
As well designed as the too small Sports Center. Go look at Mountain View. Go look at Barcalona.

Be a shame to lose the tennis courts and every court be a pickle ball court for more children’s amenities. Should be a park for every age.

Best use of the space to include all age groups
Bicycle lessons held on Sat by senior center parking lot took side walk as bike parking and chattering area while class was going. As walker we had to swing to lawn area. Walkers should have right of way on side walk.

Bicycle pump track, skateboard opportunities
By name Memorial park should have memorials and American heroes and heritage that I can explain to my grandchildren
Can you please write this survey in german for the future. I’m feeling left out of community events due to language barrier that you only use for some folks.

Round 1 Survey Question 15: Is there anything else you’d like us to know about Memorial Park? Write-in Responses
Can't wait until the fixes to the pond areas are completed. Don't see much activity in recent days.

Community garden
Connect it with nature trails like McClellan ranch
Consider even pop-up commerce, like a coffee shop or something to give people a small destination. More shade is something I think is hugely important and more localized gathering areas vs vast lawns. The huge lawns also seem too water hungry.

Could benefit from bicycle related infrastructure
Could we make a real venue to host bigger name entertainment Create a BMX park or something where kids can ride their bikes! dedicated pickle ball courts, more trees and shade
do more for the teenagers
Do not add pickle ball lines to more tennis courts. If tennis players were aware of this, you’ll have a contentious issue, like other cities. They can go to Sunnyvale Tennis center to play pickle ball.

Do not make changes that will make it harder for Cupertino residence to enjoy their park Do not put off-leash dog areas here. There are many seniors and kids who come here and dogs off leash, no matter what their owners think are not always under control. If you put an all-inclusive area in this park, many of these people are terrified of sudden movements, dogs approaching, etc. As it is, people violate the leash law EVERYDAY at Memorial Park near the baseball field. They meet and let their dogs loose. There’s a dog park further down Mary Avenue they can use.

Does the management think that just drawing some pickleball lines on tennis court will encourage people to play pickleball? I don’t see that happening
Dog park
Dog park would be nice
Don’t put in fake turf please
Don't do away with all the fountains, a park should have some water features.

Don't try to do too much or be everything for everyone. Keep it a lovely and natural setting for people to use informally.

It is very de-stressing, and I want to keep it that way.

Enable to reserve to host extend family functions like marriages, private community gatherings enjoy the wide pathways, performances at the amitheatre - ability to be in shade and to sit and rest and observe Fill the duck pond
Fix the amphitheater so the walking path does not go between the audience and the performers. It is so disruptive to have a constant flow of walkers when some group is performing. Provide a dance floor instead so when a band plays there people can get up and have a place to dance.

Fix the areas where the ponds were and update existing common facilities if possible at reasonable cost.

Fountains that wouldn't attract ducks and geese
Get it done soon, please. Missing going there already. And if we get enough rain, please bring back the Fountain. Please, please.

Get rid of the ponds; in order to minimize geese congregation as well as their ensuing excrement! Getting rid of the ponds is a good idea. More shade is needed - our climate isn't going to get any cooler Grass is stupid
Has more flower trees, open space and walking path.

Hope to keep open space in memorial garden. Since there's no ponds any more, we can have more trees and shade there. Maybe satellite fitness equipment under trees. We don't want to see new big buildings in Memorial Park.

How about a jogging path around the perimeter with exercise stations. how are the bathrooms? I know creekside bathrooms had some work done...but to be honest they are still dirty and smelly
How much is the park reconstruction going to cost us? How soon can the work begin seems we have waited long enough.

I don’t understand why you were totally getting rid of the duck pens. I understand if they needed repair, but I’m very disappointed that they are being completely and totally removed. That duck Pond has been a source of pleasure for generations
I enjoy taking daily walks at Memorial Park and love that i see all walks of life enjoying the park. I hope that the construction where the water area is doesn't last too long - it's an eye sore and takes away the beauty of the park while on a walk.

I feel the picnic barbeque rental space is alienating people from the area. It's empty most of the time. The trees there are not giving shade to the picnic site users, so it is better to plant two or more trees that give shade to the area That rental space can just be a regular barbeque site for public with safe minimum shade of trees. Then, some groups of people would occupy the space every weekend.

I have always appreciated that it is well maintained.

I have lived in Cupertino for most of my life, and my greatest memories there include Girl Scouts, Shakespeare in the Park, Camps, the Playground, Meeting friends to socialize/walk, and holiday or festival gatherings. Maybe the one thing I never got to do there was play soccer, because there wasn't a field set up.

I hope you are planning to install the Greenfield’s Adult Fitness area! I thought I read that it would be included in one of the parks. It’s perfect near the Sr Center. Or if trees are planted, adjacent to Quinlan.

I’ve used the Equipment and it would be a great asset. I’ve been pushing it for years! I live right next to Memorial park.

We don't want any more buildings or facilities in memorial park. We've already had enough.

We only need more green spaces, walking paths and trees.

I would like a cement or asphalt pump track for bikes. The closest cement or asphalt pump tracks are in Santa Cruz, Watsonville and there is one opening soon in Marina. They are super fun and can be ridden on bikes, skateboard and scooters. They are very well used whenever I go to them there are kids and adults using them especially compared to the other facilities.

I love it! More native trees and plants with more shade would be lovely. Keeping rock features part of the park would be great too. I am happy to discuss what this means. The trials community is strong, but we are very inclusive and Memorial Park is close to our hearts.

I love Memorial park. When I moved to Cupertino, this was the hub where my dog and I found our ‘tribe’. A dedicated dog park area would be super useful and fun!!
I love the Veterans Memorial, grass & water features.

I love to run along the trails
I miss the pond and geese.

I miss the water features and the geese!
I miss the water ponds and ducks
I missed the pond!
I really like the gazebo feature of the park. The children always seem to like to climb the backside of the "hill" during events. Maybe there should be an actual trail up it? Or something else that would make this area more accessible and available for exploration?
I really liked the pond from before, though I know the goose situation was out of control. Is it possible to have a smaller, more manageable pond or water feature? Maybe like the Glenbrook Apts (next door to Memorial Park) has.

I suggest a fun, healthy place for kids on wheels (skate, BMX, scooter, bike etc).

I think all water features need to be thought of with constant drought cycles. If water is sparse and something is unused for weeks, months or years, will it still be useable/useful. Will it also attract geese and have a fecal issue.

I think due to the drought that we can get rid of the water features and use that space for trees and drought resistant plants. Green space like this is also important for wildlife, including squirrels and birds, so we should create a space that works for them as well. I love that we have an outdoor theater there. I think we can have less community festivals.

I love the tree lighting in December. My dog and I love this park and visit all the time and it always has a feeling of community with so many different people using it for various reasons. This is a special place, thanks for upgrading it.

I think the park’s upgrade should serve more to link/support the community services around it. I find the commercialization of the memorial area ugly (all the mismatched donor recognition), and wonder if there is a way to imcrease natural features around and within it to make it a more reflective and private piece of the park.

I wish it had more hills for mountain and landscape views.

I wish the Park/Community Center included it a track for walking/running with exercise stations, like the space at Campbell Community Center. The tracks at nearby schools and DeAnza College aren't really open to the public (due to school activities) or require parking fees.

I wish the pond was still there.

I wish you weren't eliminating the ponds .... I bet, however, that the ducks were kind of a problem, but I/we loved watching them move around the water.

Round 1 Survey Question 15: Is there anything else you’d like us to know about Memorial Park? Write-in Responses
I would like it to become a place where people come to enjoy nature and a place to relax, not a more urban setting I would like to keep it a Cupertino park and not have amenities and many eventsthat attract people from all over I would limit water play/structures - they never seem to work/hold up. Thinking about the water structure removed near the Community Center many years ago because it was too expensive to repair (and expensive to remove).

I would love to see at least 3 full court basketball courts with seating surrounding it. The courts at Campbell park are a great example.

I would suggest adding 4 rows of trees on the South and the East side. These would be shade for picnic areas and shade for events that are in the park. Similar to the trees in the park to the south of the library.

These should be watered with non-potable water. Do not use fake grass." I’d like to see the ponds rebuilt and properly maintained, as a reasonable city expense. Years went by without this.

People I know are greatly in favor of this. When I mentioned the ponds being removed, they were very angry. I do not see drought as an issue in this. Perhaps some people are more concerned with symbolism than reality. I’m also quite familiar with other parks, such as Shoreline Park, that have had concerns about geese etc. I still enjoy Shoreline.

Sometimes those directly involved in a project or space see the challenges they confront as more significant because they are particular to that space. However, no matter the choice, there will always be something problematic. For example, a park with an excess of events sees an excess of trash and bugs and related upkeep needs. It’s unrealistic to expect a problem-free park.

I’d love to have a bike park in Memorial Park!
If possible, do not add any water features that will increase the goose/duck population. It is nice to be able to walk through the park, and across the grass, without having to take off my shoes or worry about large amounts of poop from them.

If the plan can explicitly consider how to avoid geese (and their poo) accumulating in the park, that would be great! If we continue to be able to use De Anza college parking, we do not need too much additional parking. Some re stripping and a few more would be good. All inclusive bath rooms and ones at both ends of the park would be nice (near amphitheater and courts )
Improve the public bathrooms.

In #8 I wish you hadn't made community space a different choice from natural space. They are not mutually exclusive.

Please don't give the public the wrong idea.
increase ways for children to use the park plus dog owners It has been so disappointing to see the empty ponds due to the goose invasion. The parking situation is a problem with so many spaces reserved for the Senior Center.
it is a great place to get family and friends together. We have lived in Cupertino for over 25 years and have attended many enjoyable events at Memorial Park.

It is a lovely park, but the best feature is the amphitheater, and I love to attend the annual Shakespeare in the Park performances
It is a very nice park
It is sad to see it dry. Memorial Park must be kept tidy and green.

It needs the playground experience of Three Oaks Park.

It was our go to park when our kids were small. We utilized its playground a lot. Nowadays we don’t go there other than for some event.

It was the beauty and serenity of the water ponds along with the Japanese walkways and the memorial sculptures that set this park apart . It would be a shame to loose all of its character and make it just a regular park without incorporating these features.

It will be nice to have a water feature because we can’t have it at home.

It would be great to have group of outdoor chest board tables perhaps near senior center. Love all the summer events at the amphitheater. Please upgrade it and add nearby bathrooms it would be lovely to have gated areas for small children to play safely and keep them away from Stevens Creek where cars drive super fast
It’s a great place to walk for pokemon go
It’s great! And keep the Farmers Market. Maybe add a night for food trucks.

It's a beautiful park, in a great location, and has served the community well for many years. Its appeal has declined when the ponds were drained and left as bare concrete. Please don't take too long to decide and upgrade the park (anything is better than closing it off and unused) - Cupertino needs it.

It's a beautiful place
It's a great park. I love the space!
Keep it GREEN
Less grass where the ponds were (saves on water and less maintenance). More drought tolerant plants ie. cactus and succulents, wild flowers, milkweed for monarch butterflies.

Less lawn.

Less parking = fewer cars. Native trees and plants support native birds and insects.

Let's put those dry lakes to good use!
Limited restroom facilities. I miss the water features but understand the reasoning for eliminating them.

Los Altos recently unveiled their brand new community center which is amazing. You should use it as a baseline when considering what to do with Memorial Park.

Lots of good memories as the kids were growing up. Water from the ponds will be missed. Hope you can replace with other water structure of some sort.

Lots of great memories when the kids were smaller. Ducks were endlessly entertaining back in they day although they made a mess, and the unique playgrounds also were a big draw even though they were older.

Love events like Farmer’s market and pancake breakfast.

Love the Cherry Blossoms. Please keep them!!!!! Thank you! Love the community functions there..pls don't close it

Many memories of Memorial, but the parking stops me now, not as agile as the good old days Memorial Day and Veteran day
Memorial park has almost everything except the safe all-inclusive playground. The current 2 unsafe playgrounds should be torn down and build in the safe all-inclusive Play-Park. Create various zones in the Play-Park: toddlers zone, swing/spin zone, slide zone, sound zone, art zone, and nature zone for all ability, all ages of children, adults, and all aging populations.

The flower garden can be built at nature zone. Basket ball court can be also built. Senior active and gathering area can be built near senior center.

City Park & Recreation can offer enrichment activities and socialization classes for all children in the Play-park and the summer camp for children with special needs too. Park & Recreation can provide many fun events for children. " Memorial park is a Cupertino major park and it is unfortunate that it has looked so dry with the empty pond, whereas all other city parks are beautifully maintained. We hope it will look beautiful and we can take pride in our park.

Memorial Park is my favorite park, I love the large grass field it’s perfect for playing sports! Memorial Park is pretty. Please add more greenery.

Memorial Park would be more pleasant by emphasizing nature and quietude rather than festivals. It could be filled with plants, trees and hills for people to enjoy walking, picnicking, having shady areas to relax and read or visit with friends - a serene place to escape from our busy, noise filled lives Modernize the park to keep cupertino at par with new cities More and better restrooms would help the overall expeience. more BBQ areas
More community activities to attract people. Summer bands. more designated pickle ball courts, please.

MORE grass, MORE trees please. Unadulterated open space with trees and grass is increasingly scarce in today's world. In our playtime activities, we can do with open space.

More lights and security cameras all around for safety of citizens More outdoot live music events
More shade and parking please. Maybe some street parking? More shade might be necessary to play with a toddler.

New BBQ spots with shade would be fantastic.

I want to enjoy cherry blossoms in Memorial Park.

More shade more trees and a new playground.

More trees for shade. More hydration stations or upgrade the water fountains to hydrations stations.

My kids love going to Memorial Park for skateboarding. It would be awesome if the park could get an area with a smooth concrete surface for skateboarding.

Need more natural areas to enjoy nature and a quite place to relax in Need to ensure public safety at the park. Add Measures and enforcement to prevent homeless persons gathering at the park.

Nice parks in Cupertino, but Sunnyvale parks are much nicer. I go there to walk mostly, e.g., Serra Park, Las Palmas Park, Elizabeth Park to name a few.

No new structures.

Not cool that we cannot park in neighborhoods. Why is there permit parking at our most used park Not sure if Cupertino has any specific dog leash rules, but no city official seem to care that at most Cupertino open areas/trails many people leave dogs without leash. That leaves other people in danger, and the dog owners don't care as there is no one to ask them. At least can City place notices (on trails, open spaces, parks) saying dogs have to be on leash?
Not sure why I don't see an option to build an upgraded play structure area. There are so many children in Cupertino.

Special events happen now and then, but families want to come daily to enjoy a good playground. Consider the Magical Bridge Park of Palo Alto and others like it...

Off-leash dogs scare children and leave droppings. We can no longer bring children to baseball field area as there are off-leash dogs. There needs to be clearer direction for them to go to the Mary Ave park.

Park layout can be improved for festivals and gatherings. Suggest completely removing water feature and increase walkways, shade trees. Like Cuesta park in Mountain View.

Parks should facilitate transit. A large open space is useless if it doesnt allow walkers/bikers to use it to get to places.

People really like Memorial Park and will like it more when this project is completed.

People should absolutely not use off-leash dogs. We are allergic to dogs and have been attacked even though owners think their dogs "are cute". They should take them to the dog-park just across the street. It's illegal but no one bothers about it.

Plan for hotter weather with lots of shade...especially at amphitheater and children's play area.

Plant more trees for more shade
Plant more trees for shade. Water the trees we have to keep them growing. Some of the trees look like they need more water.

Playground area is very important for the kids. My kids played there a lot growing up and loved it. I wish the same for future generations.

Please add a Off-leash Dog park
please add an electronic wait timer for tennis courts. people take longer than their alloted time and there are a lots of fights/arguments
Please add dedicated pickleball courts!

Please add soccer fields and may be a small water feature for kids to get wet.

Please bring back the pond
Please build Pickleball courts in the pond area
Please consider adding a small community garden- we need more sustainable gardens that are accessible to all generations
Please design abundant shade trees and structures to cover seating areas, playgrounds. With climate change, we need more shade for outdoor activities. If we could have sustainable water features, that would be great. If no such solution, then saving water is priority.

Please do not add pickleball lines to the tennis courts.

Thank you for removing the ponds!
Please do not remake the mini-lakes that attract geese which poop everywhere.

MORE TREES PLEASE!!! :-)
Washington Serra Park in Sunnyvale is a good model.

Please do not spoil the tennis courts. Pickle all does not belong on a tennis court! Please do not stripe all the tennis courts for pickelball. The lines make it hard to play tennis and folks try to get away from that court (2). Also, please fix the timer devices. I have called about this in the past. Some folks stay longer than the allowed times since it isn't recorded. Also, others get aggressive and keep asking. With the timers, at least they can go and see for themselves when folks are expected to leave.

Please don’t add pickleball lines unless you also add more courts or a reservation system. These tennis courts are some of the busiest courts in the area. There is almost always a wait, and if the courts are also open to pickleball then it will be way too busy and too difficult to play, which will be a bad experience for everyone.

Please don't gunk it up with more stuff. Keep it relaxing and natural. I hate the war memorial area, it's badly designed, ugly, and a large space that doesn't get used because it's "sacred." It's not soothing or contemplative, if that was the goal.

UGLY.

Please don't make more water features. The drought will likely be ongoing.

Please don't make this park a concrete place. I understand why you took out the water, trying to reduce water waste. It was beautiful. Possibly create a pond not as large with upgraded filtration and recycling systems.

Whatever you decide please make it as natural as possible.

Please either use the current ponds as they were originally conceived, or replace them with something else entirely (they're an eye sore when they're drained)
Please ensure there will be adequate parking spaces for recreational visits. I stopped taking my young children there many, many years ago when the city began zoning away more and more parking spaces for special groups/purposes, causing us unable to park--a very upsetting and stressful experience.

Round 1 Survey Question 15: Is there anything else you’d like us to know about Memorial Park? Write-in Responses
Please finish the renovation work on the original pond area asap Please keep it green and open.

Please keep playground structures and add more shade and seated areas.

Please keep the softball field. It has been a great to have for the senior and adult softball leagues. please keep the walking paths
Please leave SOME water features. I know it’s a drought but it makes the park seem more alive.

Please limit use of chemicals such as round up. Try to have an organic park Please provide a pool as there is no olympic size pool for residents. All other recreation options are available; a year round pool is mot and is needed. There are many people wanting lap swimming please put more light with moving sensor shine to darker tree area, blind corner and rest room back of the Tennis and softball park. This increase public safety. Plan natural act as fence run along the big De Anza blvd, giving more private (now most people dislike to use the grass land next to De Anza blvd, just because more dust, noise, currently more like big wasted side walk grassy area
Please refill the water pond. It is one of the best features among all the parks in Cupertino.

The water used can be recycled to minimize any waste."
Please use only native plants that offer high habitat value in the landscaping choices regardless of what recreational or structural improvements/changes are made to the park. The park does not have to be a "open space" or a "nature area" to provide value in supporting biodiversity and allowing people to connect to nature; the park can have both spaces for humans and habitat for wildlife. Ensure the park is friendly to wildlife (e.g., bird-safe design, minimize artificial light at night). Here is a list of native plants and their ecosystem value from researcher Doug Tallamy: https://www. bringingbackthenatives.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Native-Bay-Area-Plants-Showing-the-Number-of-Butterflies- and-Moths-That-Will-Lay-Eggs-on-them.xlsx.pdf
Please water the trees in the park. Some of the older ones look like they are not getting enough water. Please have more shade placed in but with trees instead of just covers.

Recycled water fountain
Refurbish or update existing playgrounds.

Remove water features. They are wasteful of water and available space. reserve more green and open space
Restore water ponds but in more natural settings.

Retain Sunday Farmers Market at Memorial Park
Safe Outdoor fitness equipment for adults/seniors
So glad the empty pond beds are being removed to allow for that area to be better utilized. socializing, dog walking, and location
Spend money wisely. We still like to have the current grass area near the quinlan center. The park facility is old and an upgrade would be sufficient.

Some type of water amenity is a must such as a circle fountain.

We used to have big pond. It was too large and couldn't sustain water. Then, we could create a small pond with a fountain that can sustain.

I also have an idea for an artificial creek. Please see the video attached. https://youtu.be/_pGj0qJaDLg
Stop wasting water by soaking the grass so much that it gets squishy.

Tennis at Memorial Park is amazing! Don't cannibalize it all for pickleball please. If anything, build more tennis and more pickleball!
Terrain & rails for all abilities and ages
Thank you for asking for our input.

Thank you so much for doing this work! We're very much looking forward to the completion of the pond removal and hope to see Memorial Park continue to be a sprawling natural space to be enjoyed by everyone.

The amphitheater seating area is not comfortable. The ground is slanted and not even so it's hard to have picnic because food and drinks rolls off the ground. Build flat seating around amphitheater.

The amphitheater, while nice while it's being used for performances is sad and a poor use of space when not in use.

Perhaps it can be upgraded to be a multipurpose structure? The concerts, movies and other activities in the amphitheatre are very popular, but the majority of us attending like to bring our own chairs and picnic blankets, so better tiering of the back area would be great.

The current pickleball court trial is not enough to allow pickleball activities to thrive in the City. Sunnyvale is doing a better job in that respect. It is unfortunate that Cupertino is behind. Seems that there is a lot of interests in pickleball once people pick up this sport that suits old and young, and most people can play without a lot of training. It is easier than ping pong.
the footprint could be smaller and the park needs to connect to De Anza College across the street in an obvious and easy way
The park is a beautiful community space that needs to continue to be a walkable natural park. Interesting new park features should stay smaller and not overtake what the park currently has to offer. Upgrading picnic areas, adding more shade, and more useable gathering spaces with activities such as: gaming tables, quiet seating areas, and inclusive fitness and/or play space would enhance the park.

The park is a significant contributor to the city’s vitality and a feature well worth improving.

The park is currently being used by many Pokémon players of all ages.

The park is ok as-is. Please spend our taxes on something else, or lower our tax. Please don't allow off-leash dogs.

The park needs LOTS more shade and drought tolerant trees and plants and parking.

The park should be flowing with water features
The picnic area is good but needs shade
The play structures need to be updated. We rarely use that park for its play space because the playground is so dated and lacks shade.

C-74 Memorial Park Specific Plan
Round 1 Survey Question 15: Is there anything else you’d like us to know about Memorial Park? Write-in Responses
The pond was one of the things we enjoyed, watching nature.

The ponds were great, but that time has passed; shade will be needed to offer some of what the water provided. But most of all, this park needs a purpose to draw an audience, and the existing Veterans Memorial provides one (difficult- to-move) focal point.

The special big events in the park had loud speakers and the noise was continuously from day to night. Just like last week, it was the heat wave and we closed all the windows and turned on the AC and still hear the non-stop noise. We wanted to have a quiet weekend after a whole week of hard work, but we couldn’t. We ended up have to go away from home to get some quiet time. People were crossing the roads everywhere without using the cross walk. It was hard to get home because of the roadblock, i had to ask my family members to walk to wholefood and get picked up for a ride.

Dealing with this once a while is ok, but every week during the summer and almost every other week during the fall season is very hard for the residents nearby.

The tennis courts is somewhat old and should be upgraded with new nets and resurfacing.

The usage of the park will considerably increase when construction is completed across street.

The water feature at Memorial Park was its most relaxing, most distinguishing and attractive feature. The easy solution to broken pipes and cost of water was to take it out. Easy is not the way of a great City Council.

The worst part of the park was the goose feces. Could you add a dog park because so many Cupertino residents now have dogs. Not enough tennis courts.

There simply is not enough shade in the park. This was partly due to the extensive ponds but now that they are gone we need more trees or structures that provide shade. cupertino is pretty much on the warm side in the daytime for 9-10 months out of the year, and this necessitates more trees and shade structures.

There's already a lot of off-leash dogs in the park in the morning.

This is the best park in Cupertino and has sadly been neglected for the past few years of the drought and pandemic. It would be great to see the park revitalized and the pond construction completed. Thank you for your hard work to all the City employees on the job!!
This would be a great place to host 'off the grid' for food truck gathering This would be an ideal location for a regional bicycle garden that schools could come to use from throughout the region, because it is so close to Hwy 85.

Too few parks and open spaces in Cupertino -more green areas needed why does the city allow all new developments to remove mature trees and eliminate our existing canopy of existing shade? Be more like Palo Alto!"
Try to keep at least some of the ponds. Water features can still be environmentally friendly if they use grey or recycled water. We need to reduce the amount of grass too.

Upgrade the amphitheater but keep the audience set up as lawn and steps. Upgrade the restrooms to be larger and have more stalls, Upgrade the softball field to have cover in the dugouts. Add natural shade (trees) not necessarily man-made shade.
upgraded bathrooms and water refilling stations. Prefer a playground area for older elementary too (with wall ball court, climbing features, etc.) If there is an off leash dog park proposed, please fence it for the safety of other park users.

Use lighting practices that are consistent with the Cupertino Dark Sky Ordinance. Specifically, lights should point downward and be fully shield, be turned off after 11:00 pm (or motion-sensor operated), have a color temperature of 2700 Kelvin or less (ordinance says 3000 K, but 2700 K is the new recommendation) Very useful and good representation of city needs
We do not have any dog parks for small dogs. I wish you guys would consider that.

We have a great chance to turn what is currently the big pond/concrete area into beautiful native landscaping, where everyone - kids, adults, seniors can all come to observe, enjoy, and learn about our native plants. It can also provide a big habitat for the wildlife.

We live in Christensen Dr. I wold prefer to have the dance and music on the onside of amphitheater and near Stevens creek side of the park. It gets extremely noisy with loud music these days because it’s close to the community center.

And the illegal parking on our street during the event is very disturbing We love to bring back Happy Kids Day Festival, Breakfast on July Fourth and Taiwanese cultural events. Please plant more taller trees. Please build multi-level parking structures on existing parking lots.

We miss the water and guest and ducks!
We need a off leash dog park
We need DOLA, please.

We need lighter basketball courts
We need more lap swim pools!
We need water spots for birds who are traveling long distance and need a place to rest. So, if the ponds are leaving Memorial Park, please place a pond somewhere else in Cupertino.

We should look into expanding the community center. Perhaps more outdoor classes in the park. For the green spaces, we can model after Cuesta park in Mountain View. For children playground, we can get some idea from the magical bridge in Palo Alto.

We'd love to see more trees and shade around the playground and picnic areas.

We've been visiting Memorial Park for over 20 years. I look forward to removal of the concrete ponds and seeing the revitalized space. I'd love to see the city take some design elements from the new Apple campus and make great use of drought-tolerant plantings (in addition to keeping a modest amount of green lawn for the kids to play on).

When I would walk a loop around the park in the summer, the area that gets the hottest is walking south adjacent to the parking lot. The sun is shining in your face since you’re headed south, and there’s no or only marginal amounts of shade.

When our children were younger, we used to go to the playgrounds weekly. Although we don't use them now, I think they are very valuable. Thinking through their childhood, we would have appreciated more shade, and more smaller reservable picnic areas for small get togethers/parties. Cupertino parks system really doesn't have nearly as many as, say, Sunnyvale.

Why destroy the ponds?
With temperatures rising, shade from trees is becoming vital for health.

Round 1 Survey Question 15: Is there anything else you’d like us to know about Memorial Park? Write-in Responses
Without significate water features to replace the lake, I probably will not visit Memorial Park ever again. The lake and islands are what gave the park it's unique charm. Without them, it's just another park. It was dumb of the city to drain the lake to "save water" and even dumber to tear it out because the drought is considered "endless" drought" ... you could have just shrank the lake and made it more useful like for energy capture, groundwater replenishment, etc. Very poor choices will lead to under-utilization and ultimately wasted money. Far more money than all that water would have cost.

Wonderful park. Needs more flowering Cherry trees. And pickle ball courts exclusive of the tennis courts.

Would be a perfect opportunity to make a new huge playground for both local families and families from further away Would like to emphasize more big trees and a water play area would like to see updated and improved playgrounds for toddlers thru grade school Would love to see a bike park (BMX, mountain bikes) in Memorial Park. Something like Lake Cunningham or Truckee bike park!
Would love to see creative play areas for all age groups of kids Would love to see more bike and scooter-friendly drawn paths alongside the pedestrian walking routes. Expanded/ wider pedestrian walking route space would be great.

Round 2 Survey Question 14: Anything else you’d like to share about revitalizing Memorial Park? Write-in Responses
Please add more dedicated tennis courts
Add additional park benches along walking paths.

Memorial Park is great. I love the events, the theater performances, and most of all the tennis! Please do not cannibalize the tennis courts for pickleball. There is enough room to keep all the tennis courts as is and also build dedicated pickleball courts. Whenever I go to Memorial Park to play tennis, the courts are crowded. Thank you! Don't put anti-homeless, hostile architecture.

Please plant more trees to compensate for the lost canopy during the other development projects such as the Oak Shopping Center and Marina Foods plaza. We need a lot of shade for 9 months out of a year for outdoor recreation.

Please include more park benches and shade.

Pickleball is a rather special social activity serving age groups that Park &amp; Rec departments often ignore. It takes studies for outsiders to understand the game’s significance and value as a recreation for the community.

Hi. We are excited for the revamp. What is most important is making both playgrounds accessible for all. So all inclusive playgrounds, especially in the biggest park we have that is used for the biggest community events. It’s important to provide accessibility to all. Thank you
Please do NOT do dual striping of tennis and pickleball courts. Please do NOT add dedicated pickleball courts.

Pickleball is a noisy sport and will ruin the peace and tranquility of the nature theme focus of the park and the ability to enjoy quiet time in the park.

Plan for trees for 50+ years
Making the park multi-generational should be the focus. Integrating the Senior Center, enhancing the amphitheater, including a multi-age playground and inter-connecting bike paths/footpaths to different points outside of the park that have been outlined in some of the plans will do this. Garden paths and large spaces for events are important but can be made a smaller part to allow for the other uses to shine. Get rid of the tennis/pickle-ball...there are many other parks that have them around the city, as well as the Rec center right next door! Same with the softball field... Put those spaces to work with activities you can't do somewhere else -- bocce is a great alternative idea.

With added housing being built we need more green spaces -this is an important project for our mental health possibility of a future pool area with classes for the community I like all the ideas, it’s hard to choose. I think you’ll be successful/ I’ll be satisfied no matter which design wins Just keep it citizen friendly....

More Restrooms
Please include a Designated Off-Leash Area (DOLA) for dogs and their owners to congregate. I didn't see a DOLA factored into any of the 3 concepts. This is absolutely essential as dogs are a huge part of our community and community-building efforts as well!
Please consider carving out an offleash dog play area. Memorial park is used by a multitude of people who walk and socialize their dogs.

Pls do not allow adult bikes inside the park. City already carved out dedicated paths in many, many street, please do not deprive pedestrians of their safety and peace of mind.

What would be the regulations about pets?
Pickle ball court can be controversial due to its noise concern.

1. All picnic tables and play spaces must provide shade (summers are only getting hotter)

2. Love the expanded amphitheater idea, but cannot locate it next to tennis courts due to noise interference (music vs. bouncing balls/outdoor voices)

3. Any way to expand the dance area in front of the stage would be great, other than of course locating next to tennis

4. Might it be possible to create an event space that includes shade? Please make sure it continues to be a good place for community events and festivals.

Pickleball courts need to be separated from tennis courts We come to Memorial Park with our two boys all the time. We would love to see the play structures updated. We also enjoy all the open grass space for running and playing. On Memorial Day each year, we visit the war memorial in the park and try to educate our children about those who have sacrificed for our country, so if you were to consider putting in some kind of cultural option, it would be nice if you were to keep it within that thematic realm. We really appreciate that monument portion of the park, and it is the specific reason we started coming to the park in the first place.

A large amphitheater—and we have been to many events at the current one—may be problematic for people living along Christiansen if it is moved there. We participated in the original Quinlan planning and felt the needs of both neighborhoods were listened to and well addressed. We no longer live near there but hope the improvements will be done with the same care.

Would like a dog park
I use Memorial Park today to play pick up soccer games for my daughter and other girls in the neighborhood (7-8 yrs old). The biggeste complaint we have about the lawn area is there is NO EVENING LIGHTING FOR ANY CUPERTINO PARKS. As soon as daylight savings comes around, it is hard to see and play in the dark. Other cities have soccer fields and lawns with evening lights to enable play all year round. Cupertino is severely deficient in this area for Memorial Park and Jollyman Park designs.

Thanks for creating options and asking residents their opinions.

Would like to see Dogs Off leash area in the grassy fields I noticed that none of the concepts kept the existing playground (Stevens Creek). I think it is one of the best in the city and it is close to Faria and Garden Gate Elementary. Why isn't it in any of the new concepts? If it ain't broke, don't fix it ... but we are going to remove it entirely? In addition, the city spent a lot of money removing the ponds and the new renovation is quite nice. Why spend more money and time on further construction? Thanks for the new pickle ball striping on Court 2. It would be better to have a few dedicated pickle ball courts than to have temporary ones.

Have softball leagues go to other parks or schools
Please include off-leash dog area. If there are concerns about dogs in the park, perhaps a fence/partition could be built.

Geese make the park unpleasant
We need diversity of recreation - we should keep softball and add pickleball.

Round 2 Survey Question 14: Anything else you’d like to share about revitalizing Memorial Park? Write-in Responses [continued]
It is very important that we have dedicated pickleball courts. We have been chased off the one available dual striped courts by tennis players even when other tennis courts are available to play tennis on.

Please prioritize adaptation for climate change, plant lots of trees and build lots of atructures for shade, minimize the need for watering, and expand parking.

I miss fountains in the park.. Such a great feature to lift up spirits. My kids have fond memories. They grew up with fountains. Wish there was at least one fountain feature in the park.

BIG PICTURE: It is a huge park - take advantage of what you can do here that can't be done at any other park in the city, rather than chop it up too much. PERSPECTIVE: The park was an eyesore for years because the ponds were empty and much of the grass was dead. The ponds have been filled, and the park now has beautiful expanses of grass for playing and events (I know this is transitional, but as a Garden Gate resident, I wish something like this was done years ago!).

The park still has its amphitheater, play equipment, sports courts, picnic areas, bathrooms, and community center/ senior center access. What in these plans remain true functional gains? FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD: It has been a long time since this neighborhood had a beautiful park.Try to maintain as much function and beauty during the next stages.

Dedicated pickelball courts open to public
"Sufficient handicap parking
Seating (benches) scattered and by playgrounds
Keep mobility difficulty in mind -ADA accommodations for all ages/needs (as possible)" I'm happy with all of these concepts. Looking forward to seeing how the park evolves.

Memorial Park is the only big enough park in the city to host large community events. Do not remove that option from the park redesign.

Any new planting should hopefully focus on only plants native to our region Excited about updated amphitheater! My favorite Cupertino events are the summer concerts in Memorial Park Dedicated Pickleball courts sound great!! Cupertino needs public courts like other cities in the area. We are far behind! Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the US and accessible for all ages. I have to drive far to Palo Alto, Los Altos, and Mountain View to access public courts.

Make it nice but don't spend too much. Other parks need enhancements too.

A dog park here would be awesome! Also, we would book events here more if there was more shade/shelter from rain We really need pickleball courts
Thanks for taking this seriously. The removal of the ponds last year was already a huge improvement. Cupertino is awesome!
PLEASE keep the veteran statues and plaques! Also, restrooms desperately need an upgrade! Make playgrounds, picnic areas and clean restrooms the focus. What serves our littlest community members (children) serves our seniors too because our grandparents take the kids to the park all the time. Make it a high class, luxurious experience like Bill's Backyard at the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose. as a program coordinator and also having worked in the main P&amp;R office, i think option one is most appealing and cover all uses/need of this park. From picnic rentals, to summer camps and events, to citizens walking their dogs. It checks all boxes for me :)

Please include playground updates! So important for the children! Please do not waste money on making it look fancy with pretty entry ways. Also, do not put things that require cement in replacement of the grass. It is already a very busy park, we do not need it to be more busy. Bigger playground and a safe place for kids to have fun is most important.

I appreciate the attempt to incorporate and adapt to the mixed uses of the park. My kids are just barely adults now but our family used the park in a variety of ways over time.

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in the US, and is social, inclusive and can be played at any age. Cupertino needs DEDICATED pickleball courts. Dual use (tennis + PB) usually means bringing your own net and is harder to play on a dual-striped court. Please give dedicated PB courts serious consideration. There are too few courts for the growing number of players and popularity of this sport.

Additional trees and drought tolerant plants. More distinctive facade along Stevens Creek Providing more shade and nature elements to the park will definitely make it feel more welcoming and relaxing for families and their children to unwind and enjoy throughout the week after a busy day at work and school. While making it a location to gather with family and friends over the weekend as well.

Thank you for giving this park the love it deserves and for making it so easy to give feedback! Make it a space where kids can play and families can enjoy (birthday parties). Make it appealing for strolling around w greenery and shade.

I really want some water feature, either a water play area for children or a pond or water fall as part of a garden feature.

The only time we go there is for Shakespeare in the summer.

Please continue allowing dogs.

Add off leash areas for dogs
I love that these plans exist. I've always been sad that Memorial Park seemed underutilized relative to other parks that seem to have so much life. Like Mountain View's Cuesta park. It seems like it would be interesting to have some kind of retail stuff nearby. A coffee shop or something. I'm not sure what's going on in terms of the retail under construction, but even some nice vending machines like in Japan would be convenient.

Playgrounds are very important. I really liked the nature playground concept as it is unique, different from other playgrounds around the area.

I strongly suggest the program that ceramic class for senior in Cupertino. please compare the ceramic program of the Sunnyvale and Palo Alto community.

Please add a basketball court so I don’t have to join sports center just to play basketball I'm really excited about the revitalization work! All three plans look solid. The park is a great community resource, and I hope the enhancements make it even better for current and future users.

Please add a basketball court
Biking and parking access should be included in any plan that is chosen.

Need a dog off leash area and timing

Round 2 Survey Question 14: Anything else you’d like to share about revitalizing Memorial Park? Write-in Responses [continued]
I and many of my friends frequently play pickleball but it is hard to find community places in which to play. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America and court demand has switched dramatically from tennis to pickleball. Our community space allocation should reflect the rapidly growing demand for pickleball courts.

Having lived in Cupertino since 1964 I grew up using Memorial Park and think of it as the heart of our lovely city.

Many family picnics and events over the years have been enjoyed at this park. My hope is that whatever revitalizing is done it will continue as a lovely park and our heart and soul for generations to come.

I really like the addl trees &amp; plantings, the expanded playground next to the shaded group picnic area, the beautiful passive garden pathways &amp; the Quinlan event &amp; conversation areas. I don’t have an opinion on the athletic spaces but would love to see expanded decking/seating for the senior center as well as new event center with cherry tree plantings! Maybe use cultural &amp; heritage art/structures as decorative entries but let the trees be the real entry structures.

Would like to see the bocce ball courts moved from Blackberry Farm to Memorial Park. Better access and easier to co- ordinate with Senior Center staff.

I host a series of popular summer bike workshops at the Senior Center. The workshops start off with a safety class in the Reception Hall, which is adjacent to the Senior Center Deck. During the class, up to 30 students and instructors park their bikes on the deck. One City staff member (often myself) guards the bikes so they do not get stolen during the class.

This deck has been a great bike storage area, but would be even better if it was secure so a person doesn't have to guard the bikes. I hope the deck can stay as is. If the deck gets turned into the Senior Center Entry, please make sure there is an alternative space for up to 30 bicycles to park. If the bikes are allowed into the room where the class is taking place, this would be a fine alternative. Or if another paved outdoor space is created, that would also work. It would work extra well if the space is enclosed and secure so nobody has to guard the bikes.

Make it a pleasant place to walk and have community events.

I like the original water pond. It provides a relax environment. What happened to that? It seems obvious that the highly used softball field should stay. I don’t play, but lots of people enjoy it very much. In general, I see little value in proposed changes. We waited years for the existing park to be fixed only to find it’s beauty ignored. This process has not achieved what I had expected or wanted.

Pickleball is such a popular and growing sport and we feel Cupertino needs more dedicated pickleball courts! The sport caters to all ages.

The community park concept could use one of the event lawns or the gazebo area to incorporate one of the ideas of the other models (interactive cultural exhibit, nature area/playground, etc). Not sure when we would need to have two different event lawns that are on opposite sides of the park. Also, the idea to break up one tennis court into 4 pickle ball courts is great, I would include that in whatever plan goes through.

Keep it green, keep it natural
Add benches scattered around park. Today the benches are concentrated near the Memorial.

Need a system for preventing groups from monopolizing the tennis courts for the entire day.

Maximize nature and create garden settings that can be enjoyed by all. Balance large public spaces with traffic concerns.

Please bring water features (a small lake or pond, fountains....) to the park.

Round 2 Survey Question 14: Anything else you’d like to share about revitalizing Memorial Park? Write-in Responses [continued]
My kid enjoyed that there were two playgrounds at Memorial Park. It is important to consider play value when designing a playground/play area. Kids like to climb and explore, slide and swing, etc. not just sit on a concrete mushroom or crawl through two unimaginatively arranged concrete 'logs' (as in Main Street Cupertino "park"). Themed playgrounds can be really neat, but I've never seen a truly fun nature-themed playground.

Great ideas. All are an improvement over the existing park.

If upgrading playgrounds, please add all-inclusive elements. For bathroom renovations, please add only gender- inclusive bathrooms and family bathrooms that can accommodate children or an adult needing assistance and a care giver. Inspiration Playground in Bellevue, WA is a great example of an all-inclusive playground.

Please deter the Canada Geese!!!
There should be some type of water feature such as a fountain or waterfall.

The east/west bike connections/path look great. The north/south bike connections are not as clear - assuming biking through the existing parking lot, on past the tennis courts, and past the small auxillary building to exit the north end of the park will remain (and improve)?
My children are grown now but I like concept A best as it seems to provide a good balance and range of options for families, small and large group gatherings.

As a couple hoping to expand our family soon, I’d love to see the multiage playgrounds have something like a splash pad too!
I'm for removal of the baseball diamond and not in favor of an expanded amphitheater there. These very large spaces I believe would be getting less use on a daily basis, where other ideas appeal to a wider range of audiences at all days and times.

Only place in town for big festivals.

I'm sorry to see the pond go. It made the park feel more expansive than all these close-in elements.

Pickleball is gaining in popularity and is a sport that seniors can play well. With the senior center and adjacent senior housing in the site of the former Oaks shopping center, dedicated pickleball courts will be a highly utilized recreation resource for the city.

There needs to be more attention to pickleball. This sport is growing very rapidly, and all three plans do NOT pay enough attention to this growing need, especially of the aging population in Cupertino.

Please don't remove the softball field - more and more fields are disappearing, and there are fewer and fewer places to play softball, which is a sport that allows dozens of people to play at once, thereby serving a large constituency.

I think the goal should be a beautiful, casual space that has all the amenities needed for a fun or relaxing visit. Good restrooms, a play area that is geared to all ages &amp; abilities, some quiet space to enjoy nature, nice walking area.

We love being able to walk to Memorial park to play softball through the city, and would be saddened if the field is demolished
The current memorial park is perfect after replacing the pond with grasses. We don't need any additional building or improvements. Save the money for the city and preserve the natural beauty of the park is all we need.

Drop off and parking at Anton and Alves would be a traffic nightmare Keep and upgrade the softball field!!!

Beach Volleyball, grass volleyball courts
Please keep the softball fields! Softball is the only adult, group sport that many people can play. We use the softball fields every week and during the summer, spring and fall, it’s multiple times per week. This is the only field that as adults over the age of 20, we have access to and there is a huge community of adult athletes that would be devastated by the loss of this field.

I really feel that the softball field should be replaced. It seems to serve a smaller portion of the community when compared to the space it takes up.

Dedicated pickleball courts are desperately needed in the area - much more so than additional tennis courts.

The park needs to be able to accommodate more parking. A 2+ story parking structure at: (1) @current location by Quinlan Center, or (2) at the proposed location, (corner Anton &amp; Stevens Creek).

Please make it dog friendly. There's a lot of folks who walk their dogs in the park. I didn't see any enclosed dog park? The one on Mary is a joke. It's animal abuse...

I should include the caveat that I don't visit Memorial Park very often, as there are closer parks to my home which I prefer over Memorial Park. I think that all three of these concepts are a massive improvement on the current state of Memorial Park, and no matter which one ends up being chosen I look forward to visiting the improved park more frequently!
I was born and raised here in Cupertino and have always loved this park. I'm sad the ponds are gone and sad The Oaks is gone. Memorial is pretty amazing as it is. Please don't change too much! A traffic garden, being so unique among neighboring cities, could be somehow shared (for revenue?) with Sunnyvale, Saratoga, Mtn View, for their school districts.

Please add dedicated pickleball courts to Memorial Park. The court at the Cupertino Sports Center is a mixed-use court for badmitten and other sports and there are too many different lines. The use of Court 2 for Pickleball is too infrequent and a net should always be available. Today, we have to drive to San Jose to play.

Please include free dedicated Pickleball courts!
Nothing that is duck friendly.

Avid pickleball player hoping to see more dedicated courts which are much nicer than the dual tennis/pball with overlapping lines. Hoping to also see at least one tennis slab of the 6 tennis courts concerted to 2-4 dedicated pickleball courts (permanent netting/holders, one set of lines, etc). Thnks As a pickle ball player, I would love to see dedicated courts. It's very confusing to have double-striped courts and you can fit twice as many pickle ball courts on the same room as a tennis court.

1. ConceptC: additional parking on Anton *will* cause accidents; 2. ALL: images chosen for illustration of new features show things that are too busy, ugly and have too much concrete (e.g. artificial shade for picnic spots, one big awful playground instead of current more intimate spaces, 3. Educational garden is TOO much for this park -- plus we have at McClellan Ranch and Rancho that do it better already. Don't fill up park with too much junk! 4. NO bikes paths cutting through park -- it is not a COMMUTING place, it is a park! Please don't waste money on silly stuff like "enhanced entry." It adds zero value to the park. 2 bocce courts please. Cupertino senior center currently uses blackberry farms bocce courts which are less convenient.

We have 12-16 players every week in the summer.

You must add a world class skateboard park and a world class BMX park. Do something for the teens/youth of this city! Get them outdoors enjoying the recreation they want! Your concepts serve adults and young children only.

Also, too much use of the words ""natural"" and ""nature"". Memorial Park is a man-made park. It is not in any way a "natural" setting. Fremont Older Open Space Preserve, Stevens Creek Co. Park, Montebello Open Space Preserve, and the back country parks of Rancho San Antonio are ""natural"" areas. Memorial is not and never will be "natural". keep it green
Please add more pickleball lines to tennis courts and dedicated pickleball courts. We have 20+ people on some nights playing pickleball and it is growing at a rapid rate where we'lll see that much per night and probably 30-40 pickleball players within 12 months.

Keep things safe for everyone and don’t use Round Up herbicide which is linked to cancer.

Regarding additional parking space, utilizing the parking space of Cupertino Sports Center is good. Their parking space near North Stelling Road is empty, as it's not accessible from North Stelling but that is only the exit point, so most cars don't park there. If that parking lot becomes the parking lot for Memorial Park, then, that will become the entrance to Memorial Park, with easy access. 40 more cars?
Love the inclusive and accessible ideas presented!
Mature trees are very important. It will take decades for newly planted trees to reach a shade-appropriate size.

Please add mature trees to the plan. Don’t cut down any of the current trees that are there! Also, trees need to be surrounding the amphitheater. If you have ever been there during the day, people won’t sit in direct sunlight to watch a performance. They are all hiding under shade (trees, of course)! I would like to see dedicated Pickleball courts. It is known that tennis players and Pickleball players do not get along and would not be able to share courts.

The more trees and nature would help the city and environment the most.

Keep the softball field
Over all a well managed park with shade and amenities for various types of recreation.

More trees, greenery, native plant areas, shade and walking paths. Less concrete than in some of the options. And definitely no parking/drop off areas along Anton. This is a short street, mostly next to homes, and more traffic/parking would disturb the quietude of the neighborhood, and cause inconvenience to residents. We are already inundated with traffic and noise from festivals/events, and adding parking lots on Anton would cause additional problems to people living at The Commons, and detract from our park-like environment. The intersection of Anton and Alves is already an almost blind corner, and with more foot and vehicle traffic would become much more of a danger for both pedestrians and cars.

Please, please make dedicated pickle ball courts. It's the fastest growing sport in America, and there is a severe shortage of places to play. Consider making more, like a combination of A &amp; B. Or, do the ground work for new courts, with the option to convert tennis courts to pickle ball courts in the future.

And, thanks for all your good work and outreach. These plans represent lots of work and cooperation! Please try to plant all (or at least mostly) native plants! It will make the park more drought-resistant and save on water use, and it will also be great for local wildlife and the environment! Plus, it will be an opportunity for passive education for those who visit the park, even if there's not really a budget for active education programs The nature concept appeals most to us as a multi-generational family with young kids.

Please have dedicated pickleball courts. This is the fastest growing sport and appeals to all ages. I would prefer a place I can go to regularly for exercise rather than the occasional event. Thank you.

I think the most important things for a park is having a spacious and interesting playground, bike trails, garden walk trail, lawn, picnic areas with shade.

Please do not remove any tennis courts … they are hard to come by and heavily used.

Lawns take more water than fountains. I would love to see a more sustainable park with draught-resistant plants and lots of medium-large rocks to reflect our natural California environment (including surrounding areas).

Definiely keep softball field and expand the amphitheater for bigger musical events. Rest rooms certainly need to be upgraded.

It has been a great place to take our children, and have small family and group picnics. Also the Shakespeare in the Park has always been a favorite over 30 years. I really like walking around Memorial Park.

I am concerned about the noise generated from the implementation of pickle ball courts. I think one needs to ask will this be a sport that becomes as long lasting as tennis or just a passing fad? Both suggested and existing park entries need to have some sort of security, such as cameras or a park ranger. This just seems necessary with the current level of gun violence in our society today.

No pickleball courts. Neither dedicated nor dual use. No using park space for bikes. We don’t want the nuisance of bikes in the park. We want a peaceful tranquil nature focussed park.

Please do not lose the softball field! MANY people, like myself, enjoy it multiple times a week. Also: less grass, more trees/shrubs! (Drought-tolerant!)
Please add dedicated pickleball courts. Thank you!
We should think from an upper level, such as a whole city's needs and every group of people's needs, not try to put everything inside one park. For example, does Cupertino have enough all-inclusive playgrounds for kids? (Currently, ZERO. One in the future) Does Cupertino have softball fields (Jollyman park has one, and not being occupied most of the time)? Does Cupertino have enough soccer fields? I believe so, and soccer is very popular among kids and teenagers.

Does Cupertino have parks for event holding? We may need one for this, and having multiple usages is better. For example, people or dogs can use the lawn without an event. Does Cupertino have enough hiking trails? I think so! Let's think about this from another point of view. Does Cupertino have enough attractive playgrounds/amenities for kids? It seems not. Does Cupertino have enough sports fields (tennis, pickleball, basketball, soccer, etc.) for older kids or teenagers? I know there are multiple, so the number is in good shape, except for pickleball. Does Cupertino have enough amenities/places for people between 20-40? (hmm, hard to say. Maybe plenty of restaurants and shopping is good, especially if we will have Vallco mall rebuilt) Does Cupertino have enough amenities/areas for seniors? (parks, trails, classes, etc.) Does the whole city have enough trees and plants? For me, the streets are pretty bald compared with other nearby cities. Does Cupertino have enough bike trails? Is it safe enough? We should think from an upper level and design our parks and spaces based on the needs of the whole city.

In my opinion, Cupertino doesn't have enough amenities/spaces/areas for younger generations, especially parents under 40yr with small kids.

It's better to diversify the spaces/areas from the view of the whole city.

Please keep the tennis courts and do not change the tennis courts or any area of the tennis courts to pickleball Need gathering spaces, places to dance. Comfortable places for every age to hang out. Safe places/times to let the dog run off leash!
Memorial Park does not have to have a specific identiy. Nature specific parks in Cupertino are McClellan Ranch, Blackberry Fam, and Linda Vista. Memorial park should be all blended with Concept A, Community, Concept B, Nature, and Concept C, Civic to meet all residents' interest. Memorial Park is the main park in the Cupertino. The Memorial Park should be for enjoyable park for everyone. It is a good concept that the least amount of interest Softball field becomes the multi age play area. However the playground is too small after removing the 2 existing playgrounds. It should be much bigger, safe, all inclusive playground for children for all ages and abilities. There are large population of aged group, but Cupertino should a little more focus on the families with children in order to avoid closing schools anymore. The current playgrounds are unsafe, not accessible for children with special needs.

The playgrounds are full of families on weekends, holidays, days of events, and summer. Summer camp children at Quinlan Center go there during the break. Please more consider about the children. And the play area should be accessible with wheel chair and safe soft rubber ground rather than lawn or wood bark. There are still big fields for event behind the Quinlan Center and next to the Senior Center where events are always held.

Amphitheater should stay at the current location for easy to load/unload equipment and music instruments from Anton and use the big truck entrance during performance and concert. Thank you.

Memorial Park is not a local park but "the" community park for all Cupertino residents. It should be where major summer outdoor events and concerts are regularly held in the city. Its lack of parking and access are its major drawbacks. Forget making the park bike-centric. Stevens Creek Blvd is simply too busy and dangerous to attract cyclist traffic (I say this as an avid cyclist). Plumb Memorial Park with recycled water to bring back water features and attractive green spaces.

New plantings should be California natives, particularly Oaks, as they provide food and shelter for all species.

No one concept is perfect. Difficult task but try and blend the best features of all concepts that serve a majority of cupertino residents. I like the idea of an expanded amphitheater for concerts and bocce courts, but most importantly, the park should serve families. Design should be maintainable financially by city and built with quality materials to last. Keep design flexible to meet future needs or desires. I played softball at Memorial but I question it's use now and space it requires. I really like the pickle ball courts idea. I think the lawn area is great but wondering if we can justify the water use unless recycled water is available. "
Can we please add a golf putting green? There is so much open area near the senior center and the community and the folks at the senior center would benefit by having a putting green there. A golf putting green is a great excuse for Seniors and folks of the community to get outside and enjoy a low impact activity.

Cupertino has many small parks with lots of open green spaces, but is missing more active recreational and social gathering places. Those are included in the community plan.

The amphitheater feature I most like is some grass seating. Please try to keep some of that. I don't see any advantage to a grand entrance, I think the openness of the current layout is very appealing.

A natural park can grow nicer over time, requires little maintenance, water and gives hopefully a good example, what to do in backyards.

Too much parking is devoted to the senior center and is never used. It removes spaces that are much needed for everyone else and makes it more dangerous for little children who are forced to cross the street. A 3rd unconnected street entrance is not desirable. Parking lots should flow.

Creative ideas. I will applaud whichever design is chosen. Thank you! Exhibit areas will be least useful as it requires additional continual effort to make it happen. Otherwise the space will be totally wasted.

Don't use park for tennis or pickle ball courts, bocce ball, softball, etc. These are available elsewhere. Make it more shady, open and kid and family friendly.

Please make expanding and upgrading the playground a priority. My other friends with young children always meet at parks outside of Cupertino (Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Santa Clara, Mountain View) because their playgrounds are better. We never go to Cupertino. We also never book Cupertino parks for birthday parties, going far outside the city to book because Cupertino's parks are so outdated! Please upgrade and show some love for the younger families and children. We are the ones that frequent your parks very often.

Playgrounds for kids and area for kids to bike
We love tsking our dog here for walks
We need more shaded playground options as weather continues to go. It’s nice to keep younger kids separate from older kids….we didn’t see how one playground was going to do that. You have to balance the once in a blue events with more regular usage of facilities.

Upgrade the theater
The thing I love most about Memorial Park is Shakespeare in the Park.

Fitness stations are particularly popular in Asian culture, where seniors often exercise and socialize. It is a good way to provide an outlet for those members of our community who are not native English speakers.

If one of the tennis courts had basketball hoops on it, I think a lot of the kids would play. There aren't many parks with hoops in the area, and it's great physical activity, as well as a great way to make friends and play a team sport. Also, tons of people play grass volleyball at Memorial Park. Maybe a sand court would be very welcomed.

Playgrounds are our most important resource -- please go with Option A :-) We need to make sure we fill most of the planting spaces with CA and Santa Clara Valley native trees and plants. How can we make sure most of the plants used in the design are CA and Santa Clara Valley natives? Also, we should not include a big lawn in the park, which goes against the mantra "make water conservation a Californian way of life". For community events, you can use all kinds of surfaces, not a lawn. Non-functional commercial turf is already banned in Southern California.

Please do not add more parking. Please add more protected bike trail connections. Please add additional native plant ecosystems, including planting new native trees like the California Buckeye.

More trees and shade please to encourage use of the park, upgraded restrooms are nice and consider the amphitheater siting in relation to the sun -- so warm in the late afternoon today! Please do not build anymore condominium. We need more variety of restaurants here in cupertino or in Main Street like downtown Mountain View
Skeptical of public art, most of it tends to be weird or unmemorable. Consider pieces that are Instagrammable -- the apple sculpture at Main Street seems to be very popular (and usable as seating). I encourage you to keep a water feature in the park: the fountains and and ponds were a very pleasant memory in my childhood. They keep things interesting, interactive for kids, and can be done with minimal water waste or waterfowl nuisance.

Bike racks; as well as recycle &amp; trash disposal throughout the park I would love a mix of the civic and nature aspects!
I think too much lawn does not conserve much water, so we should minimize lawns, but it's important to have space for community events, fairs, etc.

Whatever is done, please make sure it is properly maintained! Please don’t annihilate the natural feel of the amphitheater, maybe terrace it, but the feeling of sitting in a grassy hillside under the trees watching Shakespeare is something I love.Also, maybe see if you can make any fitness equipment be a generator for charging your phone? Idk, that’s probably not viable.

Cupertino is seriously behind other communities such as Los Altos, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale when it comes to play areas for children. We regularly travel to other communities for their playgrounds and I’ve been a resident of Cupertino for 43 years. I own a business in Cupertino. My children go to school in Cupertino. Cupertino should stand above these others communities in at least one area. Let’s make that our parks.

Thank you for using our tax dollars wisely!
I like both concepts of the nature and community plans, I feel that repurposing the softball field offers much more space for opportunities for community togetherness and play
Amphitheater needs to be state of the art with power, access, parking and better ability to handle larger audiences and more events.

Great that you are giving the part a refresh. We used to love the unique western style playground that was there even if it was a bit hazardous. Unique features make a park. Not too much cement is a good thing.

Wish the ponds could make a come-back, but I see that none of the plans include those :-( (understandable with the drought, but still it is a loss...)
We need a softball field for adults in Cupertino. The next nearest softball fields are far away in Sunnyvale and San Jose.

Including exercise equipment that elderly people can use. More elder residents in Cupertino currently.

There needs to be water features and hills and bridges between the hills similar to the islands that are being removed.

Maintain spaces for activities for all ages - should be a true community park This is such an excellent opportunity to add a swimming pool next to sports center. Then membership to sports center can include use of pool. We need an indoor public swimming pool in our city so badly. So many would love to join instead of having to go to other cities for swimming. That is what we must add here.

Remove tennis courts. There are more than enough at Sports Center.

Remove baseball field. It occupies a lot of land vs. its utility to the community.

Please increase the shade on the picnic area
I would love native plants in gardens, and maybe some kind of star gazing experience? where the park is open on certain nights but all the lights are turned off. maybe it could be a cupertino wide thing where everyone turns there lights off?
All three concepts are appealing and would represent a big upgrade to the current park design Table C-85: Round 2 Survey Question 14 Results (continued) -
C-138 Memorial Park Specific Plan
Round 2 Survey Question 14: Anything else you’d like to share about revitalizing Memorial Park? Write-in Responses [continued]
I believe that this revitalization should not detract from the amenities currently available at the park (i.e. amphitheater, sports areas, event space, picnic areas), while still enhancing Cupertino's ability to host community events. As a Resident of Cupertino for most of my life, I have used Memorial Park for children's camps, Girl Scouting, many sports, meeting friends, and attending theater / cultural events).

With a park of this size, there is a great interest in continuing to offer TWO separate playgrounds. There should be 'inclusive' features included.

I suggest that one playground be an expanded and upgraded playground close to an area where there is at least some parking. And another playground that could be Nature Playground to offer variety. Two playgrounds for SURE.

Events are nice, but infrequent, even with improved spaces. Playgrounds get everyday use and are valuable for children and adults alike.

I do not want to see the softball field (lighted) replaced. I like the idea that it can double as a place for dog socialization and play when not used for softball or other creative uses that residents come up with. Kickball is a possibility - 'Free Play' kind of thing. Having a lighted area could help with event and park programing as well.

Preference is for any suggested multi age 'play area' features to be gracefully dispersed throughout the park, not all in one location - Table Games (e.g. chess, ping pong) , Bocce Ball Court, Bike Traffic Garden and Fitness Stations.

Locating something like a bike traffic garden near a Sr. Center deck could make for nice inter-generational enjoyment.

Educational garden zone is very low priority, and I would prefer space to be put to better, more 'useful' uses. Cupertino already has McClellan Ranch Preserve, Blackberry Farm, Rancho San Antonio, etc, that offer a more appropriate space for this kind of thing.

Enhanced entries likely carry an expense that should limit the number of them. There are 4 min, 6 max enhancements suggested depending on the concept. Please consider using something very minimal on all but one or two of the entrances. For example, plantings, upgrade finishes on the ground, small 'natural, traditional looking' arbors or fences.

Modern, minimalist, metal structures seem very out of place.

A drop off as shown at the corner of Alves and Anton would be a bad idea. That is already not a safe road area.

Any 'drop off' would best be incorporated in an existing parking lot and take up no, or very minimal, area/space in the existing park boundaries. The drop off shown on Anton across from The Commons and Sports Center tennis courts is much better idea if encroaching on park space is needed.

If there is to be an interactive cultural exhibit, keep it at a very minimum footprint. A better location would be at Cali Mill or City Hall. Please consider that this is a park, not a museum, and, based on experience, getting a citywide consensus on what cultural exhibits are appropriate could prove challenging. " There is much too much pavement in these plans; I would like to have the concrete concession for this project. Please focus on more green space and less pavement, perhaps more native plants like the garden around city hall. Also, there are no indications that the playground re-do is going to include an inclusive playground. All city parks going forward should have all-inclusive playgrounds.

KEEP EXISTING AND ADD MORE TREES AS MUCH AND AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE. INCLUDE BIRD SANCTUARIES THAT CHILDREN AND ADULTS CAN WATCH AND ENJOY. INCLUDE NATURE GARDENS AND FITNESS ITEMS. EDUCATE. INFORM. IMMERSE IN CULTURAL AND ART EXPRESSIONS. MAKE IT MORE CALMING AND GROUNDING EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE VISITING THE PARK&gt;in this day and age when people struggle to find peace such public spaces must become a sanctum for such and provide peace and joy, a sense of happiness and belonging so that it provides them enough energy and motivation to pick up and thrive! Parks can provide this meaningful experiences for anyone! We can do this together! Please use recycled water.
please leave the pond as is
upgrade existing playground equipment, add new plantings, gardens and shaded seating areas, limit parking along Anton Way, more trees and natural setting
I'd like as many shady areas as possible for walking and sitting. All 3 designs look great." In concept A, I noticed that the parking lot next to the Senior Center would get remodeled to suit the need of the event lawn space next to it. If possible, please do not do this.

It is a wonderful park, where I spent much of my childhood growing up and using the amenities.

Please add dedicated pickle ball courts.

Why do two of the plans have the softball field getting removed lol.

Improving senior center access and providing a lawn for expanded exercise classes and events is critical, as well as creating as many spaces for events as possible. The amphitheater needs to be enlarged and relocated to improve ADA access -- it is too small. Cupertino's population will increase about 20% in the next 5-10 years. Plan for increased usage.

Add dog off leash area
Please add a Dogs off leash area to the plan - dog owners are the most dedicated users of the park 365 days a year two times a day. Do not do disservice to them
Keep a DOLA area
Hope memorial park transformation will enhance the community and recreation needs Event lawn - is this going to be drought proof?
Anything other than concept B is a waste of money. Keep the softball field as they are used frequently by everyone of all ages and creates a a sense of team and community. Keep the tennis courts as they are. The park serves the community very well as they are. Stop wasting our tax dollars on consultants to put together these concepts! Just make sure the park is kept up and safe!
How about a Chinese garden?
Option A offers the two big fields which can be used by the most residents in the most various ways whether DOLA, informal soccer, softball, volleyball, frisbe, sunbathing, picnics, etc. Option B wastes too much field for a little used baseball athletic field. Option C wastes too much field for a tripled amphitheater primarily used for weekend performances.

Option A offers the most flexible two big fields. Option B & C sets aside large spaces for rarely used softball/events.

More natural shade in the parks please (plant trees). Keep the softball field but upgrade the amphitheater.

It goes without saying the most important aspects of this park are the event spaces (for festivals, farmers markets), the amphitheater, tennis and pickleball courts, playground, restrooms and open space and trees. Not in favor of a lot of bike riding in this park. Please have bike racks so people can park their bikes and not be racing thru the park. Please have playground be All Inclusive. I like aspects of B and C but there was not given enough options in survey to indicate that. Like the ability to use park for community festivals (civic) and possibly relocate amphitheater but want to add to more trees and natural surroundings. Having areas outside Quinlan be walled off is not a good idea. Should have pollenating plants but do not need separate garden necessarily. Not sure how much soft ball field is used so if not that popular can use that space for something else. So many choices. Good luck! Please do not change the Senior Center parking lot.

I need the softball field for my recreational needs. I also like the current location of the amphitheater, since it is centrally located in the park with different points of entry.

I like parts of each concept but would like the softball field to stay and be upgraded.

Could a outdoor basketball court be added to the side of the tennis courts next to court 6? I know the survey is to not take comments about the parking lot but Concept A clear shows changes to the parking lot near the Veteran's Memorial. You should leave the parking lots as is if feedback is not wanted on this.

All the concepts are trying to incorporate too many elements. It is important to maintain the walking paths, green and calming natural space that is currently there.

Take the enhanced entry and upgraded amphitheater from Concept A or B, the softball field from Concept B, the upgraded playground (but place where the playground is in Concept B) in and event lawn from Concept C. Don't mess with the parking lot as shown in Concept A.

Please keep the softball field. You can add higher fences in the outfield to protect others in the park .

Thanks for upgrading our park.

Lifelong resident of Cupertino here, asking you to PLEASE keep the softball field. It's a great amenity that already exists and is of great use to the community.

Please keep the softball field for my husband 🙏!
Anything other than Plan B is excessive and doesn’t serve the community. The softball field, for example, is often used by 20 or more people at a time. It brings people together and creates camaraderie. Why get rid of that? There is no other suitable softball field in Cupertino. There’s no need for an expanded playground or amphitheater. Those at best used only at certain times of the year, and there are other nearby options.

Remember maintenance and life-cycle. Everything looks good when it is brand new.

Please keep the softball field.

The seniors implore you to keep the softball field. Thank you for your consideration.

I believe residents will appreciate a natural/green area in the middle of Cupertino. Cupertino has been going through urbanization, a green space is precious.

Retain the existing softball field !! I am a 10-year veteran of the 50+ Senior Softball program. There is no other field for this activity of the caliber of Memorial Park.

Losing the softball field would be a huge loss for so many people, including myself! I thoroughly enjoy playing there at least twice a week, all year round, as part of a very large but close-knit “family” of players, of all skill levels. PLEASE PRESERVE THE SOFTBALL FIELD!
I’ve been playing softball with the Senior Center class for 10 years. It’s been a great, healthy activity &amp; I’ve made lots of kind friends. Please don’t remove the softball field.

I really like the nature and civic plans, I think trees and shade are important due to the high heat of Cupertino area especially if lawns are to be implemented and watered
Thank you for organizing this survey. It would be great to retain quinlan and its immediate surroundings as is - including the garden and walk area there. More tress would be great especially around the perimeter of the park and walking paths. Let the park stay a park - let’s not create more built up structures. Open space to move and play is the best way to use community spaces.

Softball is important to me
KEEP THE SOFTBALL FIELD PLEASE! I've been playing and/or attending games here since about 1978(currently through the Thursday GEEZER's) and would hate to see us lose one of the few dedicated fields left in the area.

Include a DOLA park too
Maximize contiguous canopy tree shade over aggregate ground. Please try to avoid a-lot of concrete pads for picnic tables since they radiate a lot of heat during the summer.

Good to have options. The softball field should be kept as the usage is pretty high. It can be somewhat reconfigured to allow for multi-use (Cricket or even fenced dog park).
"Please prioritize incorporating native plants and water-conscious agriculture. Prioritizing sustainability and biodiversity are paramount to ensure quality of life for future generations.

Cupertino can benefit from increased cultural, art, and historical pieces. I would like to see these areas prioritized in the revitalization of Memorial Park."
We should include some public art. (3d-not murals). Integrate it into any area. Rotate the art in and out occasionally.

I'd like to be sure that the City does not use any dangerous chemicals on the grass in all our parks, such as Round-Up.

Unsafe for pets and children (and children at heart) who depend on our parks for their grassy play.

Since the ponds are closed, I think we need to provide water elsewhere for birds and geese who need a place to stop as they travel.

The kids bike park is a fantastic concept and should be incorporated. They are very popular across Europe and would be a huge addition to the community.

Whatever you can do to minimize the water fowl, I’m all for!!! Please no pickleball courts. Tennis players don't have enough courts to play tennis I'm so happy that you're doing this!
I think you should put basketball courts!!!!!
Please provide more tennis courts as folks are always waiting or can't find empty courts. Besides the only other park that has tennis courts is on sara park in sunnyvale bordering cupertino which is too far.

Round 2 Survey Question 14: Anything else you’d like to share about revitalizing Memorial Park? Write-in Responses [continued]
Thanks for giving us an opportunity to provide feedback on Memorial Park renovation plans. Concept A, B and C are very helpful. They well demonstrate and visualize different ideas. I live next to Memorial Park. I live here for 25 years. I visit Memorial Park every day. I drive on Alves Dr. and Anton Way every day.

BTW, the survey should include an optional question about how often they visit the park.

Concept A:

1. Multi-age play area : It is too crowded. It looks cluttered with seemingly unrelated items. It would need more space between each other. Cupertino has many parks. We do not want to overload Memorial Park. -- “Table Games” (12): People may prefer to play chess or other board games indoors. If anyone really wants to play them outdoors, they could use existing picnic tables, but I have never seen anyone doing that. -- “Fitness Stations” (11): I would say you are in such a nice park, why not enjoy walking or jogging instead. You can always go to Cupertino Sports Center, located next to the park, for fitness stations. -- “Bocce Ball Court” (13): I wonder how popular bocce is. I suppose that the results of this survey should tell us about it. Stevens Creek Trail has some bocce ball courts. I used to walk there every day and I had never seen anyone playing there while I noticed near-by volley ball courts were frequently used. The bocce ball courts were covered with lots of fallen leaves and dirt. There was no sign of anyone having used them in the recent past. Cuesta Park in Mountain View also has bocce ball courts. I have never seen anyone playing there either during my weekend visits.

2. “Enhanced Entry” (1): The following 2 locations are dangerous places to be entry points. -- Corner of Stevens Creek Blvd. and Anton Way: It is too close to a busy section of Stevens Creek Blvd. People attempt to cut in to the right lane in preparation of entering Fwy 85/280 North from a junction 1/4 mile ahead. -- Corner of Alves Dr. and Anton Way: It is a blind corner. BTW some people use Alves and Anton to bypass the busy intersection of Stelling and Stevens Creek. They are often speeding.

Concept B:

1. “Enhanced Entry” (1): The same comments apply as those in Concept A above.

2. “Softball Field (Existing)” (9): Some time last year or the year before the city put up a sign saying that the field is only for softball and neither baseball nor cricket ball is allowed. Until then, some people had played baseball occasionally and I felt danger as baseballs use very hard balls. I really appreciated the sign. There is one thing I felt sorry for, that is, those people that used to play cricket were also kicked out. They were using tennis balls instead of hard cricket balls.

Thus, I did not feel danger at all. I think cricket games using tennis balls are even less dangerous than softball games using soft balls.

3. “Picnic Area with Shade” (11): I suppose that you mean to cut down the size of the “Event Lawn” (7) from the north and south sides to make space for it. That would make the event lawn much smaller. It would not be as useful for “Event Lawn”. Big festivals such as Cherry blossom festival, Kids Fun festival, Indian festivals etc. used the lawn to host big attractions for kids to play. Kids attractions such as trampolines, train rides, inflated bounce houses were very popular. As it is, the lawn is flat, rectangular, and of good size. It would be useful and handy for big events in the future as it has been. Also, since it is located next to the parking lot and has electric outlets near by, the location is convenient to set up attraction equipments. Talking about proximity to the parking lot, the south part of the “Picnic Area with Shade” (11) would be too close to the parking lot. After all, Memorial park is best, among other Cupertino parks, for hosting big weekend events, especially because De Anza College parking lots are available on weekends.

Concept C:

1. “Enhanced Entry” (1): The same comments apply as those in Concept A above.

2. “Relocated/Expanded Amphitheater” (11): If you want to make the amphitheater bigger, you would not be able to hold performances on weekday evenings any more. The reason is parking. Even with the current location and size, the situation is chaotic. People are driving up and down on Alves and Anton looking desperately for available spots. The only possible solution would be to hold performances on weekends using De Anza College parking lots. If you make it too big and up to date, it may lose a casual and rustic atmosphere, which I think is one of the charms Thanks for reading through my long comment."

The space decisions should be based on utilization rates. For example, how many times and how many people use or will use the existing or proposed space.

Like is the amphitheater used more than a handful of times a year? How often are bocce ball courts used in the other parks? Does baseball/softball seasons make the space worth retaining or does the city have enough alternative sites?

I gave my preferences based on how my family would use it but there could be decisions made buy how spaces are currently used by the community.

Designing a larger amphitheater with the hope that more will use it is silly but if events are unable to occur then it should be heavily considered or a secondary site instead of moving it should be considered. " I like more nature as well as the art exhibits
We would love to spend more time in Cupertino on the weekends however we are missing a downtown vibe (and Main Street is not a downtown it is a strip mall). This park has the opportunity to be a city center where young families spend their time.
be mindful about budget
Very limited parking available for non senior center use. Loved the cherry blossom trees!! Space for youth to play soccer
More open fields
I like the spaciousness of the space. It would be great if the space remains free to use for anything after the renovations. "Please no more paving &amp; cement. We need kids to be in nature. The paved playgrounds at the schools are enough for them to practice bike riding.

No more cemented areas in memorial park please!!! "
We love going to the park to attend fairs. Can they be more often? Water fountain, compost garden
" used to love the water feature, but I can see how that’s unsustainable in our weather. I really like the modernized designs for an event plaza, the upgraded amphitheater and the picnic spots. Very glad that something is being done about our favorite park. :)"
A basketball court will be great to have, we have non in the vicinity.

What happened to having a full basketball court (lighted)? I feel that this facility would be best utilized at all hours instead of certain hours for the other facilities
Add Basketball court and please do not move Softball field.

Basketball court
I like the bigger playground from concept A but would like to keep the softball field as my kid’s practice there all the time.

It would be nice for the park to be a draw for as many people as possible throughout the day to encourage community.

Softball fields, tennis, bocce - these all take a lot of room and serve a very small amount of people at one time. Space for groups - children, seniors - to be together in the outdoors would be a premium.

Shade for the audience in the any amphitheater would be very welcome.

Lightings for night time use
Cancha de futbol, mas juegos para niños
Minimize unwanted foot traffic.

The festivals make the neighborhood unpleasant.

Use DeAnza for commercial activities!
I chose the community focused one, but I love the idea of an interactive cultural exhibit, so I hope that stays in there.

Please add a outdoor fitness area (callisthenics)
Save the softball field
Please can you add a basket ball court as well.

Large ball fields are infrequently used, instead design the park for activities for other sports, basketball, volleyball, running track around the perimeter, etc..

So many tennis players are fighting for court time, please increase number of public courts. Please dont mix tennis with pickle ball, its a mess. Create separate pickle ball courts and we dont know for how many years people will keep playing it, it's a new sport. Dont disrupt tennis which has been there for decades I'm particularly interested in the festivals held at the park, I think they enhance our city's offerings and contribute to multicultural sharing of customs, culture, food and relationships between citizens. For me, over the years it has been a wonderful place for my now grown children to play on exceptional equipment, run freely with friends and enjoy sports on the expansive lawns. It is also a great place to walk and reflect, offering peace and quiet, as well as hold group picnics and BBQ's at the group areas for this.

There should be a small skateboard park for kids.

The closest one is north Sunnyvale.

Please consider adding special, nearby parking for families with small children and strollers.

If nothing then olease bring back the fountains
Please add dog park with natural grass. This is the only this park which has not included a Dog park. Lot of people own dogs more than before. They need a dog park desperately.

Walkability and bike connections are vital to any functioning park, and should be prioritized over parking or car mobility options. Additionally, public bathrooms are important to any public space. Finally I think the larger and enhanced theatre is important because there really isn't this kind of outdoor space in Cupertino today Please add a fenced in dog park with grass. Although there is one on Mary, it's gravel and non-community folks come there with untrained dogs.

Please add lots of cherry trees! I also like the ampitheater to remain where it is and be enhanced. keep BBQ pits, get rid of pond/lake, add summertime water feature for the kids to run through to keep cool, keep amphitheater in current location with upgrades

My family, including two young kids ages 5 and 3, primarily use the park for the recreational playgrounds. We live within walking distance so we often visit the park on weekends so the kids can play. I'd love to see the redesign focus on more expanded/upgraded playgrounds as mentioned in option A to replace the softball field which I rarely see in use. The other primary use I have for the park is to play tennis. The tennis courts are almost always in use when I go which requires time to wait until someone finishes so I'd love to see more dedicated tennis courts.

DEDICATED PICKLEBALL COURTS PLEASE
What a great opportunity here. I'm a big fan of the Pickleball courts. Also, more shade for walking, sitting, and picnics.

And I thought you might have an option to make the softball field also support cricket.

Dedicated Pickleball Courts needed!
Downtown Riverside has wonderful statues memorials dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Caesar Chavez and other great leaders, along with some of their most profound sayings. It would be nice to pay homage to our "spiritual" side as part of the park.

Either plan A or B with dedicated pickle ball courts will bring adult community to the park like basketball courts attracts teenagers. Pickleball is easy to play at various levels and more efficient in space use.

Please create dedicated pickleball courts for this growing sport that brings young and old together! I do not like the "commercialized" events with commerce-related booths MUST HAVE AT LEAST 6 DEDICATED TENNIS COURTS AND ZERO PICKLEBALL COURTS. IF DO ANY PICKLEBALL COURTS, THEN KEEP THEM AS FAR AWAY FROM THE TENNIS COURTS AS POSSIBLE. THE

SOUND OF A PICKLEBALL BEING STRUCK IS ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE PLEASANT THAN HEARING A NEIGHBOR KID SET OFF AN M80 AT 11:00 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.

Dedicated pickleball courts preferred but if multi use tennis and pb courts please post priority and day/times Please put in some thought of how the new design to avoid turning into a homeless encampment..... so that the community feel safe to utilize the facility in the park since it is busy community activities area, I like a quieter park concept.

I doubt that exercise stations and tables for chess, checkers, etc would be used much. Keep baseball field and amphitheater in place to reduce costs. More areas for nature walks, gardens are desired as that is the major use of the park. I walk there every day and see many people doing the same so preserving it as a walking area is best.

Strict rules on dogs not to be unleached
Cuesta Park Mountain View is a good example of open space and nature focus, with ample playground, tennis courts, grass fields. Add visually appealing trees or art along Stevens Creek to make Memorial Park stand out I like the playground and events.

Can we have more availability in softball sports. The softball is always waitlisted. Can we have a bike track or bike lane for our kid’s to ride their bikes safely without disturbing the elderly Something for every age group will be great.

There are lot of Birds and squirrel, can we have a little water spot for them in summer when it gets hot &amp; dry Table C-93: Round 2 Survey Question 14 Results (continued) -

Round 2 Survey Question 14: Anything else you’d like to share about revitalizing Memorial Park? Write-in Responses [continued]
Excited to see the park revitalized, thank you for the hard work in planning this out. Please plant more cherry trees and colorful flowers (tulips, ranunculus, cosmos, nemophila, lavender etc) around the park. The park should be beautiful, especially during Spring like parks in our sister city in Japan. Don't make it look too industrial by sticking to green/ brown/steel colors only. See https://blog.japanwondertravel.com/best-flower-parks-in-japan-22510 I'm so happy the empty ponds are now more green usable area.

The current softball field is not well utilized and consumes a lot of space.

Needs more separate pickle ball courts
Dedicated pickelball courts, similar to other cities
Pickleball participation has exploded and is now a sport that various generations are actively playing. While it is not going to overtake Tennis, the barrier to entry to start playing pickleball is very low. As a result, it is very attractive and appealing to people that would otherwise never consider Tennis. I am confident that the city should reevaluate the quantity of pickleball courts and perhaps reduce the tennis court count by one so that you could increase the count of pickleball courts by as much as four. There is a social aspect to pickleball that is not common in Tennis. Pickleball is at its best when a location has multiple courts (not just 1-3 courts but 6-8 or more). Unlike tennis, a single game of pickleball may take 10-15 minutes and then people often circulate to play and socialize with different people. Please consider making Memorial Park a "Pickleball Location" that players will want to come to and spend time at your wonderful park socializing among the community. Thanks.

More parking closer to tennis/pickleball courts
please consider disabled adults in the playground upgrades - eg special needs swings etc Pickleball attendance some nights are 30+ twice a week. Next year it will be 60+ due to the fun and social aspect! Please add more pickleball lines and dedicated pickleball courts as other cities like San Jose and Palo Alto have 10+ dedicated courts with an exploding pickleball population which connects to communities! Thank you! We’ve lived in Cupertino for 27 years. My husband and I look forward to the park being remodeled. We used to love the water elements there years ago.

Please don’t remove softball park
Softball park is a must to have
Keep the gazebo!! It’s my absolute favorite thing and my highschool did senior pictures there.

We love attending events at Memorial Park and the convince of being able to park at Deanza Please keep the softball field. It is used by many people of all ages frequently - much more so than the playground or amphitheater. Plant trees beyond the fence area if there is concern of balls going over the fence.

All tennis courts should be striped for pickleball
It is the least cost effective to keep the softball field.

Pickleball courts
During the event, the residents nearby are deeply disturbed by illegal parking on “no parking” or “permit parking “ or park in front of fire hydrant, double parking. Followed by littering after the events. City of Cupertino is hosting events with the cost of interference on residents and trashing the park.

Cupertino needs dedicated pickle ball courts
Nicer playground/structure would be nice
DEDICATED pickleball courts would be FANTASTIC!!! We (Cupertino resident for 20+yr) currently have to go to Sunnyvale for that.

Make at least 8 or more dedicated pickleball courts as it is a sport growing tremendously in popularity that is good for fitness and fun for boys and girls, men and women. In fact, 8 dedicated pickleball courts only take the space of 2 tennis courts! Tennis enthusiasts would still have the remaining existing tennis courts to play on. Both pickleballers and tennis players can coexist and support the community.

Pickleball paradise
These plans are all interesting and well thought out. Thank you! The softball field is important as there are few nice fields in Cupertino, beside MVRC. Really like the upgraded ampatheater.

Please add as many native plants, shrubs and trees as possible to restore the environment for native birds and insects.

Have you considered a Magical Bridge type playground? Our children would really benefit. I as an adult have also enjoyed those spaces.

I don't like the idea of extra parking but without adequate parking, fewer people can enjoy the revitalized Memorial Park without impacting the surrounding streets.
"I think the park needs more shade trees but not flowering cherry trees.

Non allergic trees that supply better shade. "
We need more tennis, pickleball courts, and fitness stations. No one wants more event centers and amphitheaters.

People want to be active and outside. We also need a lap swim pool...

All three designs are great.
thanks for inviting me to provide feedback. I like the third choice.

Please upgrade the seating terrace to allow people with different abilities to be able to go up / down.

Bike locks
I love the nature concepts and would love to see more of that! For those of us living close to memorial park, we look forward to the greenery with all the new construction in the viscosity. Building more buildings will deprive us of the greenery. Our whole family, including our dog, loves memorial park
Something lacking from all these plans is foresight and how this space will not only itself adapt and be resilient in the face of climate change, but how it will support this community as it faces the challenges of a rapidly changing climate.

Urban green spaces need to be multifunctional. And while all 3 of these plans provide some sort of social and ecological benefits, they do not go far enough. I did not see any of these plans specifically address stormwater management and was disappointed that there was no green stormwater infrastructure. In addition, while cherry trees are beautiful and hold cultural significance for many Cupertino community members, they are not native and therefore not as resilient or adaptable as native tree species such as Western Redbud, which too has beautiful pink blooms and provide ample shade from Their broad canopy.

The elements of the park should express nature and be composed of as much natural materials as possible.

Be sure to do a good job.

Use of QR code for cultural and /or exhibitions, with brief visual plates.

All concepts look amazing and I am excited about the plans that the city has for this park! Pickleball courts please . In desperate need of more pickleball courts! Thank you for continuing the upkeep of our beautiful city.

You need more pickleball courts.

I like the amphitheater the way it is. It kind of combines nature with the seating. The softball field seems well used by people (not myself so much), and would hate to see it go away. The current playground seems recently renovated and works well where it is. Event plaza and table games to encourage more people to connect in different ways seems ideal. While I love the idea of a garden walk, McClellan Ranch Park (and the Steven's Creek pathway) seem to have this concept well covered.

Need to control illegal parking in the neighborhood during event. The design should facilitate, direct, encourage, and enhance event visitors to park at DeAnza College.

You don't need additional parking, just advise event holders to instruct their guests about parking at De Anza, and retain a high priority on that pedestrian access
Please retain the softball field
Progressive, inclusive &amp; thoughtful approach to redesigning Memorial Park. Kudos.

In general I believe a park should be inclusive, and provide the community with opportunities to recreate, gather, and socialize. I prefer Concept A for that reason: its theme is ""Community"". Really love the idea that people can find new friends by going to the park, so ping pong and chess tables really appealed. As do the pickleball courts, which is inherently social because it's mostly a doubles game. As well as the picnic areas with shade, and event/amphitheater spaces.

A note re pickleball: as the sport gain tremendous popularity very quickly (it went from 5M players to 36M in one year!) Memorial Park may see increased demand for court space. Staying flexible about sharing court time btwn tennis and pickleball play may be in the future regardless of which plan you adopt.

Also there is already a dearth of parking spaces, so thoughtful planning on how to expand parking options is critical." Thank you to the whole team that has been working to revitalize this wonderful community park that myself, my family, neighbors, and friends all love! The park has been a key hub for so many people of all ages to gather, make connections, and build community. I am a tennis and softball player and have recently found pickleball...and see that this sport has been all-inclusive for the Cupertino community. I strongly vote for Plan A to have dedicated Pickleball courts and to leave the Pickleball striping/lines &amp; nets on tennis court 2 in the event that the tennis court is empty.

Thank you!
With 36 millions tree lost in CA last year, it is vital for every community to plant as many trees as possible, at the same time use innovative approach that will speed up urban planting and growth. Please consider Pocket Forest idea which has implemented at school sites in Berkeley and all over the world. Creating such forest is a great way to engage community members from all age and take ownership of the park, reduce cost.

Please have dedicated pickleball courts, there is no shortage of dedicated tennis courts but with pickleball thats not the case.

Most public tennis courts are used for private coaching, where as pickleball courts have bigger turnout and used for recreational play by Seniors and youngsters which align with the social/community objectives.

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport and Bay area has the worst pickleball facilities in the entire country. ( No dedicated public indoor courts)

Besides being easier to learn than tennis, pickleball is also slower paced and there’s less ground to cover; you could almost fit four pickleball courts onto one tennis court, and most picklers play doubles. Some research suggests that it may be safer than tennis for people with heart issues, too.

In one of the few studies that’s been done on pickleball, researchers found that compared to walking at a self-selected pace for half an hour, people who played doubles pickleball for half an hour had 14 percent higher heart rates and burned 36 percent more calories. Another study from Western Colorado University found that picklers averaged a heart rate of 109 beats per minute and burned 354 calories per hour, which qualifies it as a moderate-intensity workout alongside hiking, yoga and water aerobics. The players also saw significant improvements in their cholesterol levels, blood pressure and maximal oxygen uptake, a measure of cardiovascular fitness, after playing for an hour every other day for six weeks.

Because the paddle’s so small, pickleball is great for hand-eye coordination as well as neuromuscular coordination,” said Heather Milton, a clinical exercise physiologist at the Sports Performance Center at NYU Langone Health. “You’re moving in different planes, not just forward like you do when you’re walking or cycling, which is good for your agility.

And because there’s rotation involved, you’re working your core along with your upper and lower extremities.”

Less than a quarter of U.S. adults get enough physical activity, and that percentage decreases with age. One of the main barriers to exercising is a lack of social interaction, a big source of motivation.

But while 50 percent of people quit exercising six months after starting, research shows that picklers keep coming back to the court again and again, primarily because the game is so social. Pickleball can also improve your well-being:

According to another study of picklers age 50 and older, those who were more serious about the sport tended to be more satisfied with their lives. The same researchers found an inverse relationship between “serious leisure” — in this case, playing pickleball competitively — and levels of depression. please make sure to keep the softball fields as they are an integral part of the community park Some kind of water feature would be very welcome.

Also must have rules for dogs on leash because many people at various Cupertino parks do not follow dog leash rules. " Green with focus on nature will be good
The park needs to be a place of nature and beauty, somewhere you want to spend time walking in and bringing your children and grandchildren with open ended play experiences. There is plenty of public art, tennis courts and softball fields so I would prefer to keep this open and natural as it is a unique space and at the heart of the city.

I’m a scoutmaster and look for spaces to engage teen groups in the outdoors. Spaces that accommodate groups, seating and tables, located near lawns are great for teaching and games with groups of scouts. Places to have a campfire program are great too. I’m a big fan of having nature and teaching kids about plants. We need areas that don’t cost money in which to be outdoors.

A dedicated pickelball courts
I wish you had not destroyed the Oaks Center. The new high-rise buildings look horrible and indicate what's coming once the "Westport Cupertino" is completed. I can't believe how someone could come up with such a plan. Please don't destroy Memorial Park.

My kids love the playground and climbers, please do not take it down; they love the natural amphitheater seats and running up and down them; we wish they could add exercise equipment Safety from crime important
I’ve been playing softball at Memorial Park for 12 years. It’s an important activity that I share with many quality players.

It’s good mentally and physically for all of us.

Best Mix and match: Concept A but with 4 pickleball Courts , drop-off and parking from b or C, instead of game tables have a separate enclosed playground for preschoolers and volleyball sand ct ,add some of nature garden to garden walk,
There needs to be more of a focus on nature and less on people. We know from experience that people mess up things and therefore need less "human-friendly" designs for parks. People have more than enough places to gather.

Skate and Bicycle Park
Can you build a fenced dog park? Thank you!
More fun place for children, currently the facilities are out of date.

Round 2 Open House: Comments on Concept A: Community Focus Write-in Responses
Safety with cars/paths
Love pickleball courts and dedicated lines on a tennis court too! Applies to all 3 plans: Main entry point - there should be one at Alves Dr and Anton Way. Many people enter here! Please keep lawn area above and around concrete of amphitheater. Many of us prefer being on the lawn.

Separate kids & adults
Add as much parking as possible
Parks and recreation needs to include more recreation, so things like pickleball, tennis, bocce ball and table games are lacking to date and need more emphasis.

Keep amphitheater in original location, update & enlarge if possible.

Dedicated pickleball good. Also keep dual striping.

Bike path for kids. My husband and a friend was hit by kids racing their bikes.

I like the idea of designated pickleball court. Multi age play area is way too busy. I'd prefer open space.

Bike/ped/civic. Kids circulation safety not safe for so many ages using that space. Please just let walkers be safe.

Greater connection from Senior Center and N. Development. Activate Senior edge connections.

Keep softball field. Would like to disperse some of the multi-age "games" throughout the park near pathways.

Bike traffic garden will take too much of the area. The plan shows narrow path but actual picture shows huge wide lanes. Play area - too much concrete.

Please take out the softball field. I like it used for family and community activities.

I like the (16) Quinlan event space. Need shaded picnic areas. Like paved event area. Not sure about group picnic area.

Lawn event areas not inviting to me.

How about playground & picnic area & lawn all at top of the park far from Stevens Creek and all about kids & family playground and the bocce, cheese table games near senior area! Need to provide expansion of Senior Center. Room for deck, outdoor classes, i.e. yoga, tai chi, etc.

Parking ADA close to amphitheater
Multi-age play area is too big & has no trees. Right now, we have 2 intimate playground spaces that are charming and natural. This space is neither.

Love the dedicated pickleball courts. Bike lanes. Like the existing playground & amphitheater.

Concept A: More "serenity" i.e. multi-play area more trees and planting areas Blended concept with Concept A + Concept B + Concept C to meet many people's needs. Memorial park does not have to be identity focused. Nature identity park: Blackberry Farm, McClellan Ranch, Linda Vista Park. The least amount of interest softball field becomes to the multi age play area. Make the playground bigger and all inclusiving playground for children for all ages and abilities. No Bocce Ball court. Reduce table games area. Move Dedicated Pickleball the Concept A to away from play area. Pickleball is very high pitch loud noise. The new field after removing the pond is nature area with Nature Playground. Ugraded amphitheater included wheel chair seating area. Stay amphitheather as it is now. Deliver truck park on Alton for load/unload equipments or music instruments, or enter from wide truck entrance during performance and concert. Safe soft rubber ground in the playground, not lawn or wood bark.

Not enough festival space. Not enough group classes space.

More walking paths to gain access to the Senior Center.

Nature playground would occupy kids for about 10 minutes. Then - Boring! Image of enhanced entrance is not appropriate for this park - no metal modern elements please.

Don't keep the baseball field.

Nature playground is good depending on design, space it takes up, should include something for all ages & abilities.

I like to passive garden walk & nature playground concepts. Would prefer to see ball field changed to park area. There are other ball fields at schools the city administers.

Educational gardes are way overrated. Not needed, underutilized, and space can be used much better. Do not support educational garden.

Walking paths don't flow through the park. Seems broken up into straight paths then small windy paths.

Move drop off area way from Anton & Alves intersection. This is a major pedestrian entry point.

Yes - keep softball field. Dual purpose with DOLA makes sooo much sense.

Already have plenty of nature space. McClellan Park - open space, Linda Vista Park The nature playground in this proposal would not be good for small children & toddlers.

Keep the ball field. I love the open fields and would not like that area with all the business of the community focus plan.

I don't think we need an educational garden zone. McClellan Ranch does a lot of education.

Dumb that play area is not near either picnic area. Much better for families if kids can play within sight of where family has picnic.
1) Like Bike Traffic Garden - need. 2) Additional parking. 3) Pickleball is loud. Maybe better to relocate so neighborrs don't protest. 4) Encourage walking & safety a la Tunnel Top Park, SF We have educational gardens at other parks that make sense where they area. We don't need one junking up Memorial Park.

McClellan Ranch meets many of these educational elements.

Connect the Senior Center more to the park - better paths, etc. to draw seniors into park. Maybe a senior exercise area? Senior exercise area would be good - but social activities more important.

Pickleball designed whicever way current pickleball players prefer Like the tennis & pickleball arrangement of this plan best. Not really interested in educational garden.

Biggest negative on B is keeping the softball - just a lot of land to serve few events/people. Been here 26 years & it's rarely used. Love the natural ideas.

Less garden, more recreation. Remove "canyon of doom." Make "nature" play practical. Fence off Steven's Creek or playground.

Need parking NEAR amphitheater for accessible, senior population. Benches with arms, not too low.

More shade trees, less cherry trees. Parking area at intersection of Alves & Anton is SUPER DANGEROUS - will cause accidents.

Enhanced entries are ugly & a waste, other than making them accessible.

If you move the amphitheather, need to consider noise to neighbors at commons. More trees, less structures.

Shade trees: Plant now for future.

More picnic areas.

Improve access from Senior Center to outdoor areas - larger deck.

Expand drop-off at (2). More parking. Less cherry trees.

Enlarge Senior Center outdoor space & deck for clases & community activities.

Event plaza seems it would be hot-hot-hot in summer.

Exercise area more important that a cultural exhibit area. (13) Quinlan Courtyard, why not make it like A? I'd like to see the Senior Center readily integrated into park or more accessible.

Move drop-off area away from intersection of Anton & Alves. This is a major pedestrian entry point.

More picnic areas by play structure, at front of park and elsewhere.

Like #2 to improve entry to Senior Center. Activate Senior Center front & street side No interactive cultural exhibit area. Not needed - want park.

Access/intentional transition from Senior Center and consideration of weekday use of Event Lawn by Senior Center in design.

Like conversion of baseball field to larger/enhanced amphitheather for performing arts.

Marina Project has cultural area - art & community group room This doesn't seem to have "something for all ages." It's too much "event" stuff and not enough everyday "just go to the park and play."
No drop-off. Keep Alves/Anton corner (Concept A)
Combine expanded amphitheater with educational areas.

Get as much parking as possible.

Add trees to areas without shade - or shade stuff.

Please have 2 playgrounds.

Don't make amphitheater bigger. Provide areas for listsening on the lawn. Less concrete.

Historical display okay if small. Includie it in modest enhanced entrance instead of something separate.

See cultural exhibit in Marina building
I really like the enlarged amphitheater. The event plaza ought to be conducive to events. In past, events on parking lot pavement were good (food & drinks), booths on grass not good.
