Design Input - April 5, Parks & Recreation Meeting
The Parks and Recreation Commission had the meeting on Rancho Rinconada Recreation Center on April 5 to gather neighborhood input and conduct discussion with the Rancho Rinconada residents about the neighborhood park.
The attendees were divided into five groups and were given the design kits to express their park design concept ideas. The groups came up with their own design concepts and priority list.
The groups discovered some common ground in the design exercise and will work further with
the Parks and Recreation Commission on May 3rd, to recommend a preferred
alternative. The City Council budgeted park design this year, and will be
budgeting park construction in a future year.
