Park Commission Minutes <br /> May 6, 2010 <br /> Page 3 <br /> Commissioner Johnson explained that the Trailside Park Playground <br /> Committee met and has recommended an area for the playground. He <br /> noted that the area is located off of Government Drive and Oriole Street <br /> and is 25 X 24 feet in size. The committee felt this was a good area for a <br /> playground as it was flat and does need to be fenced. He stated that the <br /> area by the Chamber building does not work due to the number of events <br /> held on that side of the park. The Commission discussed this and did not <br /> feel that the location was good as it was in close vicinity to Drew's Garden <br /> and the Veterans' Memorial and further that it would destroy the sod. The <br /> Commission felt that it would be best to finish the projects they are <br /> currently working on (Gildner Park, Band Shell, Cole Memorial Building <br /> Benches, flowers and plantings at the Cole Memorial Building and flowers <br /> at Trailside Park) prior to taking on a new project at this time. <br /> Chair Tweed asked if the Commission would consider a dog park. The <br /> Commission did not feel that this would work as the Park is not large <br /> enough to have an area for dogs. <br /> Mike Loven questioned where to place the two park benches at the Cole <br /> Memorial Building. It was suggested that a benches be placed on each <br /> side of the entrance to Cole Memorial Building. <br /> Chair Tweed stated that the Women's Club benches are showing a lot of <br /> wear and look unsightly. <br /> 9.

MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br /> The meeting was adjourned at 5:20 p.m. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> Sandy Peine/ <br /> City Clerk <br />
