Andrew’s Playground Park in the community:

  • Andrew’s Playground Park serves as an oasis in the city. Participants value the park’s history as the City’s first publicly accessible

playground for children. Participants are concerned about:

  • Protecting existing trees and vegetated areas throughout the park.
  • Improving the Dogs Off-Leash Area to encourage its continued use.
  • Improving safety through lighting, sightlines, ease of navigation through the park, and programming/activities that activate the park at

different times and across all seasons.

  • Pathways that provide direct but pleasant paths for people passing through the park.
  • The current location of the playground, which separates children from the street edge.
  • Providing flexible seating options to complement fixed seating
  • Providing multi-use spaces that offer a variety of programming options while simultaneously working to preserve the distinction between

active and passive spaces. Participants generally dislike and/or are concerned about:

  • The small size of the Dogs Off-Leash Area and playground, which they feel results in underutilization of both spaces.
  • Impact of the new Market Hall facing the north side of the park, including potential competition with existing park programming and increasing

maintenance costs.

  • Poor drainage leading to large puddles of water in various areas of the park. This reduces useable park space.

SLIDE 45

Play : Engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose.

Oxford Dictionary

[Play]ground :

slide-46
SLIDE 46

We see Play as an important means for:

Learning Socializing Communicating Physical Activity

slide-47
SLIDE 47

We propose embedding the design of play into the design of the park, through:

[Play]Plaza

Providing a central play space overlapping with the social fabric of the space

[Play]Ribbon

Integrating the play in the landscape, rather than segregating/fencing off.
