2. Walnut Acres Park

devices that were constructed in the street and within the park and discussed
the addition of planted trees in the turf area to help keep the area passive due
to the close proximity of the adjacent homes.

be replaced next year due to the fact that it’s exceeded its useful life and does
not meet current ADA requirements.
4. Miller Park
The Commission and staff toured the park and discussed the high use of the
park for a variety of sports and private rentals, and that it is one of the most
popular parks for rentals due to new playground amenities, primarily the zip
line, that were installed several years ago. The Commission and staff also
discussed the limited parking spaces within the park and on Spring Road, and
the fact that there are no additional opportunities to increase parking without
losing park features.
5. Country Trail Park
The Commission and staff toured the park and viewed the natural area and
success of several milkweed plants that were planted last ye ar by volunteers.
They discussed the trail alignment that was constructed several years ago
and the need for another trail connection in the future. Staff explained how
the storm drain channel functions in large storm events, and ultimately floods
the park, limiting the city’s ability to install a restroom facility within the park
property.

the Multi-Purpose Court. Staff Recommendation: Provide direction to staff.
Adam Poe from Ventura Roller Sports gave the report.
There were no speakers.
