There is potential to extend Raymond Street from 115th to 118th. This would provide parking, emergency vehicle access, better park oversight, and would also provide access to several new home sites. With some recent development north of the park, access to the north end of 111th Avenue may also be possible. People felt that access from 115th is worth planning for and proposed designs should provide for future access points. Adding a basketball court to the park design was suggested.
Local kids love basketball.
A half-court may be preferred over a full court. Other suggested improvements were a tennis backboard, volleyball, and a horseshoe pit. Two or three detailed drawings of development plans for Raymond Park will be presented at the July 17 meeting. From this meeting will come a tentative final design that will be displayed at the National Night Out celebration on August 1. Two or three alternative designs for the park will be presented at this meeting.
