NPD Weaknesses
Sample Verbatims: NPD Weaknesses (cont.)
Parks/Trails (17%): “Need more bike trails.” “Riverwalk between Gastner and downtown should be built.” “I would like to see continued expansion of our bike path / trail networks.” “Needs better weed control in public fields.” “Maintenance on the shrubs/bushes along the Riverwalk (behind beach) weeds are never pulled (unless by volunteers). If a machine can't, do it, it doesn't get done.” “Live on West St and would appreciate the PD making sure that sidewalks abutting PD property were cleaned by PD. Residents have this responsibility regarding their own properties.” “Provide more public washrooms/water fountains for people/pets. Extend walking path along river to connect more neighborhoods.” “Needs more open-air picnic shelters in local parks. Keep improving water quality at Centennial Beach.” “Please install more dog bags dispensers. I've emailed few times to get some by the Kings park and East Greens park... nothing happened!” “Need more swings. More shaded areas. More infant options.” “Add a few more picnic benches and new trees.” “More environmentally friendly processes (less fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, more native plants).” “Increase the amount of green space.” “If we have larger playgrounds for older kids.” Buildings/Facilities (14%): “No indoor pool or any pool in the south side.” “There are no indoor pool facilities within the district.” “Need better indoor pool facilities & pickleball facilities.” “There can always be more facilities. The tennis courts are often all taken at peak times and NPD classes (which are a business venture) often take over the tennis courts at those times too.” “I wish there was a better recreation center that had fitness classes, sauna, hot tub, pool.” “The lack of facilities at some parks and the lack of sledding hills on the SW side.” “Update some of the older workout machines.” “The golf course use is frustrating and confusing. The clubhouse employees are not helpful. Very snotty. I'd rather go to St. Andrews. The dollar spent on
that gym that I have to pay for to enjoy.” “More golf courses -- more senior programs.” “Need more ice-skating rinks.” “Some facilities could be better kept. Baseball fields in particular are in poor shape at times.” “No aquatics.” “POOLS!!!! More than just Centennial Beach.”
