Vice Chair Robert Graham

Brentwood Park receives a “C” rating (although the system/calculus for the ratings is not provided). “No swings” is noted: https://www.costamesaca.gov/home/showdocument?id=23919

Conclusion & Recommendations from the report:
■ All parks are unique and offer different experiences and opportunities
■ Swings should be available at all parks
■ Restrooms should be available at all parks
■ Shade structures should be incorporated in parks where tree shade is not available
■ Provide bike racks
■ Drinking fountains for people and dogs
■ Annual discretionary fund for use by Recreation Manager

The 2018 report is even more interesting in that it notes that only 2 families are using Brentwood Park (at the time) but doesn’t propose any reasons for the low usage. The report isn’t dated but from the looks of the video, it was shot during spring/summertime when the playground structure is in the sun all day (and in fact, one of the families shown in the video retreats to the shade).
