Thank you to all who participated in the recent Bateman Outdoor Space survey.

Several key themes appeared that are important to residents. Respondents emphasized the value of open greenspaces, noting the need for lots of areas where families and individuals can relax or play. There was strong support for enhancing connections between neighborhoods and the community center, making the park more accessible and linking surrounding areas.

Residents also prioritized the addition of more seating and shaded areas to create comfortable gathering spots throughout the park. An environmental focus was clear, with many asking for the preservation and planting of trees, reinforcing the park's role in supporting local biodiversity and providing natural beauty.

Design staff will be working on the designs concepts this fall and will come back to the community in late Fall to vote on preferred concept.
