25 Memorial Park Study Session A study session on Memorial Park and the proposed design. Most people I've spoken to love Memorial Park the way it is now where it is mostly naturally space, rather than one jam packed with stuff in the proposed plan. I hope to consider a minimalist option with upgrade of existing features and only include some low impact features.
And reduce the cost. Maybe we might refer it to Parks and Rec Commission to consider options.
