Integration of the park with downtown - the park is our Central Park . . . an urban park. They are beautiful, but not really native. There are fields and fields, but no tennis along the river anywhere. I thought it was great. It stresses its natural condition too much.
Parks are a metaphor for nature.
This park is mostly unnatural and that is why it is successful. Keep it a refuge - a few markers, but not many to maintain the natural feeling. Keep the markers on the lower part of the park. Work on making the butte itself work. The butte is an embarrassment, but the river edge park is working quite well.
