9. The Veteran's Memorial is considered one of cornerstones of the park. It is a place of majesty and <br /> importance as it memorializes the lives of those who have fought for our country. The memorial is centrally <br /> located within the north side of the park. This is an excellent location due to the nature and purpose of the-'. <br /> memorial. It presents an excellent opportunity to be the centerpiece of the park. <br /> Most veteran's monuments across the country are symmetrical. They consist of straight lines and sharp edges <br /> that create a sense of grandeur. The city may want to consider working with the local veterans to discuss how <br /> the memorial could be rearranged to better fit in with the park and emit more of a sense of grandeur.

It is a visual transition <br /> between the adjacent roadways and the park and serves as a backdrop for those attending concerts at the band <br /> shell. Gradually introducing non-turf vegetation, especially when it can be formed to the landscape without the <br /> use of planters or edging, will help enhance the buffer to the highway. <br /> ,„, '!1 <br /> \ im ,:. <br /> 6 <br /> R <br /> i , S <br /> 4 <br />
