Maximizing use of empty space - playgrounds, picnic areas, and more

Very tragic, indeed. Thanks for the input. That’s something that I probably wouldn’t think would be as big of an issue as it actually is.

Thanks again.

Hey Noel,
Creating a sense of community with green space areas is something we really like. We are looking at unusable lots (too small or some with drainage issues) and converting to resting spaces or rain gardens (need to do more studies on this).

At one of our parks, there was a large detention pond that was totally fenced in and an eyesore. Our idea was to make this an amenity that people would be proud of.

Here are some photos of Phase 1 - a walking path with bridges around it. It officially opened today and we have received very positive feedback. Future work is to create some picnic spaces with BBG grills.

Thanks for the post Howard and great job on the pond restoration!

I would love to hear more on the picnic spaces and BBQ grills sometime and how the community response was on them.

Wow Howard, that looks great and the bridge really takes it to the next level! Betcha your residents are already enjoying scenic strolls around the community pond!
