Photos are forthcoming.
Children have requested more hills in the parks.

donor items from a random list.
MILTON STREET PARK
Dave Stanger presented drawings for second phase construction of
Milton Street Park. Trees under the power lines will be moved and
replaced by crepe myrtles. Arbor will have game tables. Concept:
Tot play area with up to 5 creative playscapes, ocean theme and a
quiet park. Modifications to irrigation system will be minor.
Suggestions: replace flagstone with concrete and blank pavers
(reduce cost). extend walkway around (tricycle path).
fence the park (safety).
Timeline: preliminary cost plans - 2-3 weeks. P&R Board Plan
approval - Dec 7 for presentation to City Council on Dec 12.
Cindy Sparkman will keep Stan McCanless and Tom Rushing informed.
Ross Frazer noted it would impress the citizens of West University
to have Milton Street done prior to the Park Lovers Ball, since
85%-90$ of our fundraising is generated from local sources and
showing our accomplishments will help raise money.
