2018 Parks & Recreation Commission Report – District 3

This is the tale of two (District 3) parks: Heller vs. Brentwood (from the 2018 Parks & Recreation Commission Report by Commissioner Bogner).

Heller Park (shown below) is noted for its “Heavy neighborhood use.” It has swings, playground equipment shaded by trees, and benches next to the play structure. The park also has a bathroom and concrete pathways to access the playground from both streets.

Whereas, Brentwood Park (shown below) is noted for “2 families enjoying the park” and “no dogs off leashes ALTHOUGH several residents complaints.” The video creation date is not provided but from the looks of it, it was shot sometime during the spring/summer, when the playground equipment is in full sun and it’s too hot for children to play on.

The volleyball court and sand is in good condition and in the shade, BUT it’s never used. Why not make this the site of a toddler play area???
