2016-2017 - Great Park Public Outreach Surveys

Is it exclusively for hockey?

 Can the ice be covered and used for ball sports or table tennis?  Can you make any modifications to the design plan?

CULTURAL TERRACE 

Museums would be a great option for the Cultural Terrace  Please make a lake to balance the weather in Southern California

DEVELOPMENT AND LAND UTILIZATION  Why does the City promise to include certain things in the Great Park plan and then remove them without the public knowing?  The Great Park is supposed to be larger than Central Park in New York, but it is falling behind  People need a place to walk at night and the Great Park plan does not provide the option for people. The park needs to be lighted so that people walking at night can feel safe  There needs to be a facility built at the Great Park for the homeless community to go. No one is thinking about the homeless when planning the park  What does the construction timeline for the Great Park look like?  I think the plans are a joke. They don’t include a skate park and BMX track. There’s too much grass  I’m concerned the park won’t draw people during the week o There needs to be businesses or something to draw people. Perhaps include something for daily life  Will there be 4,000 more homes built on Great Park land?  Will there be a shopping mall built? If not, where will people shop?  Is the fire station being built?  Will any current features be taken away?  Where does the funding for the park come from?  If there is a land switch, who ends up with it?  Where are the remaining 600 acres?  The park isn’t open for all ages. Where are the cultural aspects?  What if we built monorails throughout the park to connect to the Spectrum? o We need to look to the future o We need something to draw people there for more than just sports.  Will there be any commercial areas in the park?

DOG PARK 

Would like to see a dog park

Families need a place to take their dogs

FARM + FOOD LAB  The Master Gardeners stopped coming because the Farm + Food Lab has become an embarrassment and the City doesn’t care  The master gardeners’ work was destroyed  The Farm + Food Lab needs to be expanded and kept up GARDEN SPACE  The park is missing gardens, which needs to be added back to the master plan. City staff needs to take a field trip to Balboa Gardens or Huntington Gardens to understand what a great park should look like  Everyone would benefit from the addition of gardens. A large botanical garden would allow for everyone to walk and enjoy nature in a peaceful setting
