• Vandalism The vandalism appears to be worse on structures that are <br /> climbable. Better structure design incorporating greater height, larger eaves, <br /> and more durable materials will likely lessen the damage. <br /> Geese and pond bank erosion The geese like lawn areas adjacent to ponds. <br /> By increasing the depth and variety of shore planting, the geese population <br /> might be less and certainly the erosion of the pond shore will lessen. <br /> Concept Plan <br /> The concept plan identifies several locations for informal or formal baseball <br /> fields or soccer fields could go (labeled A-C). The plan also identifies the <br /> following: <br /> • an additional volleyball court <br /> • a pedestrian bridge and trail <br /> • pond edge plantings to minimize the goose population <br /> • additional screening surrounding the site <br /> • additional shrub plantings to define areas of the park <br /> Other improvement to the park might include adding more land to the park <br /> along Jackson Avenue to improve site visibility and access. If development <br /> along Jackson does occur, it will be important for the City to work with <br /> developers to create good pedestrian access, to keep views of the park open <br /> and to have new building architecture address the park properly. <br /> • <br /> \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\planning\stevewen\parkmmo\lion'spk.doc <br />
