(Adult) • Independent Plan & Community Plan. (Adult) • Option 2 like for special exercise and spread out play for everyone. (Adult) • Crucial to have bright colored equipment. (Adult) • Improvement to the shelter/bathroom would be great. Also, taller swings, they are more comfortable for larger kids & adults. (Adult) • Swings would be nice.

ONLINE COMMENTS RESULTS Please select a play structure option you like the best. • Option 1 (Little Tikes): 4 vote (3 votes from neighbors) • Option 2 (Miracle): 13 votes (4 vote asked for swings, too)- 8 votes from neighbors • Option 3 (GameTime): 3 votes (2 votes from neighbors) • Option 4 (Landscape Structures): 2 votes • (2) Non -votes Other Comments • I like the playground design 2 & 3. I wished there were more toys that were toddler friendly as well as big kids to enjoy. The splash pad is great but would be nice if it has a softer ground and if the water did not dump out so hard from the buckets to knock my kids over. It would be nice to have some sky lights on the roof of the shelter to allow some more light in there when it is rented out. I would also like to see more garden space, more people would utilize the space if there was more land used for it. • Our resident playground expert likes Option 1 the best because it has climbing surfaces, an interesting slide, and what appears to us to be an accessible swing. Option 2 is also good because it has twisty climbing equipment, which is flan to climb to see how far you can get before falling off. However, it is not as good because it doesn't have swings and the equipment looks less accessible. • I really like option 1 or 2, they look completely different than the other local parks and would be a great change to the existing park. • I like option 2. Could this option include swings? • I liked option one for our uses and visual appeal. The tree theme and tall slide are always high on our list!! • We need a playground that is versatile for many ages and for kids that have disabilities. It would also be great if there was lots of lighting as well. ■ I like option 2 as it spreads out more, allowing more kids to play instead of all crowding into one play area. • Wetherby playground site is very sunny, please consider picking one of the play structures that provides shade. • Option 2 or 3 are our favorites. • I think option 2 will be most enjoyed. It allows for all ages and gives a more diverse play area with different activities. I do not see swings, so I do hope those are added, including an ADA compliant swing. • Given the options, I would vote for option number one. Option number two looks really interesting, but it doesn't have any swings. If it had swings, I would vote for that one. You have to keep in mind, older kids also need something to do that is not destructive at the park. For many of them this means swings. Also, the pavilion area has beautiful art in it. I hope that is left! \\gemini\volume\projects\2019\119.0513.01\adroinistration\wetherby_meeting_publimomments 2019 08 15-mvised.docx 9 Scott Park: Park improvements input Public Meeting Comments September 3, 2019 Page 3 of 3 I think Option B in the example color palette will provide the best experience for the widest range of children (in terms of age and accessibility). I'm not aware of other playground in the IC area that would bring an obstacle course type of component to play on while still also providing more typical types of equipment found on playgrounds. It would bring a new and unique playground experience to this part of Iowa City and serve to enhance the perceived value of this space alongside the splash pad. Thank you for accepting public feedback on this issue. I hope my opinion is helpful in making a decision. We'd prefer Option 3. Option 2 is great, but swings are a MUST. Also, it's a bit confusing that an image for Option 3 also says Option 1. Thanks!! Of the 4 options shown I would prefer Option 1. I like the look of the structure and the variety, and also appreciate the safety railings offered that make it a safer choice for my >5 child since there are fewer options for his age and we often have to choose "safer" 5- 12 playgrounds. Option 3 would also be a great choice if the lower levels had railings that weren't so open. Option 2 seems very similar in style to some of the equipment at the nearby Mercer Park so it is least appealing to me. I'd much rather have a variety of options close to home. Option 4 reminds me of a school playground, which means less variety for the children. Of the Wetherby options, I prefer Option 4. Options 1 and 2 seem particularly strange. My favorite new playground option at Wetherby Park is Option 2! I love the individual play area adjacent to the main playground! Reported by: SNYDER & ASSOCIATES, INC.

(Adult) ■ Would love to see a combo of traditional and individual play incorporated. My daughter always complains about lack of swings in newer parks. (Adult) • Add swings, esp. swings for adults & children to swing together. Pieces I like the most: o Animal pieces. o The airplane. o Open slides as opposed to closed tunnel slides. o Any house -type structure is to be popular. (Adult) • Butterfly garden. Need older kids structure, too. (Adult) • In other improvements for other playgrounds, I would love to see ziplines & swings. Also, I would like to see more of the combined swings. I really liked those. I don't like it when there are no swings in a park, because it is one of my fave things to play on at a playground.

We love the zipline in the new River Crossings Park.(Adult) • Have better/ more communication w/ people that live in the area. I got one postcard in the mail over 2 months ago, that's it.

My second pick is the individual play option 4. Of the options, I believe the best two for keeping kids ages 1 - 6 busy for a long time will be Option 2 on the Traditional Play group and Option 4 on the Individual Play group. (As a parent, I might find the setup on Option 2 (Trad) a little stressful, as it would likely necessitate quite a lot of chasing, but I think the kids would love it.) The parks we frequent most already have equipment similar to Option 1 (Trad) and Option 3 (Trad) so I also don't feel like they'd add much to our city park experience.

Park improvements input Public Meeting Comments October 7, 2019 Page 3 of 3 Option 3 (Indiv) I think would get boring quickly for kids at the top of the 1 - 6 age range, but would probably be very entertaining for 1 - 3-year-olds. Looking forward to these updates! Fairmeadows Park #1 option 2 -or- #2 option 4. • Please include more playground equipment meant for 2-4 year olds. Majority of the park equipment is for school aged children and there is not much for toddlers to do besides the tot swings (which not every park has). I would vote for column number four, which has the colored pictures which are strangely labeled option number three. There seems to be more for the kids to do. • The playground equipment at Fairmeadows is still in good shape and super fun for the kids. Consider keeping this well loved playstructure and spend the money elsewhere. • Of the proposed options, Traditional option 2 and Individual option 4 should be seriously considered. Both look like they'll provide more stimulation and encourage a good diversity of activities. • I think Traditional option 2 and Individual option 4both look great, either would be a good option for the park. Of the traditional options I strongly prefer Option 2. Of the individual options I strongly prefer Option 4. Of the two, I think I'd prefer the individual play since it's easier to find traditional structures for my son. If some combination of the two were possible I think any of the traditional options could work and the choice of that would inform my choice of individual options. • I love Option 2. It gives children more room to play! I live on Aster Avenue. The kids who live in our area would appreciate this! Most children do not have anything to play on outside. My neighbors only have a soccer ball and basketball. They need a place to go and play. Thank you! • For the Fairmeadows equipment, I prefer the first one (the one on the left) of the traditional play schemes. Is the current play apparatus going to be torn down? It seems in good condition, so I wonder what the cost and benefit of replacing it is. • My favorite playground choice for Fairmeadows Park is Option 2. I would also love to see the incorporation of another zipline like at Riverfront Crossings Park and it would be great to see the splash pad expanded with lighting for play use at night.

All three options are nice and very similar to what is there now. That said, I like Option 2. I really like the slides in Option 2, as well as the walkway and stairs. The colors are a bonus, as well. Thank you for your attention to this park. Any choice will be great! 2. I like option 1 best. We have small children (2 years and 3 months), so we'd love to have some swings, especially the bucket seats for toddlers, which I see with option 1. Option 1 also has a good mix of big slides and climbing challenges. None of the options seem to include monkey bars, which I think would be great to work on upper body strength for the kids. Maybe a set could be added apart from the main structure? 3. Thinking as a grandmother, a recalcitrant child could hide in the tunnel of #1 and "never come out". I would be unable to climb up and rescue them. v:\proj ects\2019\119.0413.01\administration\scoff_meeting_publiccomments_2019_08_08.do" Scott Park: Park improvements input Public Meeting Comments August 30, 2019 Page 3 of 5 4. Has anyone talked about a splash pad? My kids would love to have one on the east side of town. 5. I like Option 3, it looks fun. The other 2 options look like other parks in the Iowa City/Coralville area. I'm sure my 3 year old and soon to be 1 year old would enjoy option 3 for years to come 6. Option 1 is the best. It has enough smaller slides to entertain smaller kids while some of the more challenging balancing/climbing items and larger slide will be good for older kids. The third option seems pretty inhospitable to younger children, though the two spinning elements pictures in the lower right-hand corner of the third option are neat things my kids would like. My kids especially like the covered walkways with holes that they can look through between playground options, as in option 1. The colors of option 2 are nice, but the design is pretty blase. 7. I prefer option 2. Thank you for looking to upgrade this park ... now what about that EastSide Sports Complex? What a needed thing in Iowa City and a great revenue booster. 8. So glad to see this! Thank you! Plans 1 and 2 look great! I would like to see those triangular spinny things eliminated from any plan (currently off to the right side in option #2). I've seen so many kids get caught spinning too fast and don't know how to control it. They either fall off the equipment or they manage jump off but then promptly fall on their face because they're so dizzy. The middle suspended ring things to climb through on option #3 don't look like a death trap. But maybe I just don't get it. 9. Any update to the park will be a great improvement. This is a big park with a lot of kids that play in the area when older siblings are at soccer/ any sport practice. I don't feel feel you could install more equipment. What about a splash pad? Also didn't see where the shelter would be located. 10. Option 3 seems to have the most space for the children. I also like the younger children's space separated from equipment for older kids. 11. I am not a fan of any of the three designs. None of these new playground set ups would be enjoyed by children who have physical disabilities. If you were to choose playground equipment that was inclusive (accessible) to all children then that means all children could enjoy it. This playground equipment can only be enjoyed by some children. 12. Option 2 looks to be a better choice. It still has swings and a large slide which I feel were some of my favorites growing up. We dont have children yet so I haven't been to a park in a while but since this is the park where I'll take my children in a few years I hope it has some resemblance to the good of days. Any chance to get monkey bars or one of the zip line things like the new riverside park has? Good luck! 13. Our family is excited about the renovation at Scott Park. After reviewing the three options, our favorite is option 2. We love that it has swings —finally! I appreciate the fact that the bridge portion of the play structure is open, that makes it easier to see where the kids are and to monitor littler ones. I also like the shade roofs over portions of the structure, which will help keep kids comfortable during those very hot summer days. My kids love the green color of option 2. I hope there will be benches, too, in various areas around the play area (like at Mercer park). Thank you! We look forward to many fun times at the new playground. v:\proj ects\2019\119.0413.01 \administration\scoff_meetingpubliccomments_2019_08_08.dou 2ti° Scott Park: Park improvements input Public Meeting Comments August 30, 2019 Page 4 of 5 14. I would choose #2 because it looks like it is accessible for smaller toddlers as well as bigger kids. Definitely adding in the baby swings would be great! Preferably NO MULCH! 15. I think having a parent -baby swing like in Option 1 would be great, but the enclosed tunnel makes me wary as a parent. I think the more visibility in public play spaces the better! Ultimately, a splash pad at the park would be really great and would add so much for neighborhood families! 16. We like #2 with the two small green spin chairs! 17. Option 3 for the playground at Scott Park. 18. A more nature based playscape such as the one at Wickiup would be appreciated! Plus, please include shaded areas. 19, Equipment 2. Is there any discussion on a splash pad on this side of town? This park is large enough for equipment and a splash pad. 20. Option number 2 for the playground. 21. Option 2 is the playground both my children thought looked like the most fun for kids of all ages. 22. My kids and I frequently visit playgrounds all over Iowa City, and we live close to Scott Park. One of the comments I often hear from them is that the playground is too much geared for smaller kids. They are nine and six. I showed them the three options and they were by far the most enthusiastic about option 3. 23. If I had to pick I'd pick number 3, but put in the swing from number 1 that is for adults and a child. I'd also love to see more accessible equipment and also maybe some natural equipment like in north liberty 24. Option 1. 25. Think it's important to have a sidewalk that connects the walking path to the park! Current park frustrating because hard to get to it on bikes and strollers. Bathrooms would be great as lots of practices and kids in the area. Love playground 1. 26. Option #1, with the tunnel. 27. Of any design chosen, please consider adding the 'Mommy & me swing'. 28. Of the options presented, I think 3 is the most unique and interesting. However, I -and my children- would love to have more nature scape/nature inspired playgrounds. These are always the most popular, and stimulate imaginative and open-ended play. Tree stumps, logs, big rocks, sand... these are the kinds of things young children crave and inspire the most adventurous play. Riverfront crossings is one of our children's favorite parks, along with Terry trueblood, and they request to visit those often. Even the gigantic boulders at creekside park on the bike path are a favorite. Please add more natural elements to the playground! 29. North Liberty has a public park called Centennial Park. They have these artificial rock structures that I see lots of kids, and even adults, using. Having these seems like an amazing idea to promote athletic exploration, especially for kids at a young age. Here is the link to the website of the manufacturers! Please copy the link into your proposal! WE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!! hitps://idsgulpture.com/ 30. Option 1. 31. I like playground options 1 and 2 best. They both seem to have a nice variety of activities included on the structures. v:\projects\2019\119.0413.01\administration\scott_meeting_publiccomments_2019_08_08.docx �_l Scott Park: Park improvements input Public Meeting Comments August 30, 2019 Page 5 of 5 32. Option 2 or 3. 33. I vote for option two. I like all the slides and swings! 34. I am voting for option number 1 for the Scott Park playground. 35. Option I seems most standard- good for many ages, what would be expected from a small playground the double swing is a neat addition Option 2 has several different slides which are fun but not a lot of other variety Option 3 has new/different playground equipment- good for older children who can navigate playgrounds independently -- spinning apparatus seem to be a hit with older kids My vote would be Option 1. 36. We use this playground frequently given where we live, and given its age are happy that it's on the list for replacement. Of these particular options, the second appears the best. The first option appears to lack big -kid swings, although it's difficult to tell from the photographs. That said, here are some concerns: 1) There is no shade at this park. Incorporating a structure with more shade would be appreciated. 2) Most of the parks on the east side are these non -organic plastic -like structures. I've seen how amazing my child's play on the more nature -based playgrounds has been and would suggest doing one of these playgrounds in Scott Park. 3) Ensuring that it's accessible for children of all abilities is exceedingly important. 37. Hello! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to select new equipment for Scott Park. The update is definitely needed. My neighbors and I were also discussing the fact that Scott Park would be a wonderful location for a splash pad. There is a great deal of space and the increased housing developments on the east side have brought more children to the area who could benefit from a water structure. My street alone has 20 children and we are within walking distance of this park. I feel it would be highly utilized and more accessible than the current splash pads. Thank you for considering. 38. Option 1. is my first choice because of the variety of playground equipment. It looks like kids of all ages could enjoy the playground. 39. Our family of 5 all like the 3rd option. 40. I like option 1 the best, however, I think it would be nice to switch out the dinosaur for the green spinning seat that is shown in option 3 to provide some variety from other parks. If there are other color options I think the colors in option 2 would look really nice at Scott Park. They are all great! Reported by: SNYDER & ASSOCIATES, INC.
