(A) Athletic fields. Additional athletic fields may be needed. Fields should be intended to be easily adaptable to softball, volleyball and soccer. The fields need to be oriented with careful attention to the angles of the sun.
(B) Pavilions. There is extremely strong demand in the borough for additional picnic pavilions. Pavilions are especially important to provide shelter from both rain and the summer sun, especially for large group picnics. Pavilions function best when they are adjacent to restrooms, children’s play equipment and informal play areas.
(C) Fencing. Proper backstops are needed not only to protect players, but also spectators. Movable fencing should be considered to make it easier to use the same fields for both baseball/softball and soccer during different seasons.
(D) Play equipment. Play equipment should be available within a relatively safe walking distance of all of the denser neighborhoods.
(E) Support facilities. It is important to provide certain support facilities as part of any major park. These include restrooms, water fountains, benches, bleachers for spectators, security lighting, trash and recycling cans and paths or roads suitable for use by emergency vehicles.
