I would like to start a discussion about the parks in Pacific. What do
the people of Pacific want to see in the parks?
In traveling the city and talking with people I have heard a few
suggestions. I encourage all members to walk the parks and streets
asking what can be done to improve the appeal of the parks.
The following are a few suggestions I have heard:
Mike butler from the west side of town: "Events for special needs
children" 5/22/09
Scott Murphey: from Catawissa "An in-ground Sprinkler area for the
kids to cool off in the summer" 5/20/09

In the survey which I have taken, I have made suggestions regarding
the lake at City Park. It is largely unknown and not easily
accessable, except from the end of Birch Street in the Hawthorne
Subdivision. There is no parking other than in the street.
I am a model R/C boater and currently am Commodore of the St Louis
Admirals R/C Model Boat Club. I have sailed at the lake, but it
really lacks a good place from which to access the shoreline. I would
like to see a pad of concrete or flagstone right at the shoreline that
would permit good footing for getting model boats into and out of the
water. This could be done easily and cheaply. It could greatly
expand the use for the lake, not only for model boating, but also for
fishing. Some parking near the lake would also improve the situation
for this nearly hidden and unknown resource of the City.
I hope these suggestions are helpful and provide the Park Board with
some ideas. I have lived in Pacific for 10 years and have been active
with the Pacific Partnership and the Pacific Station Plaza. I have
been on several City Committees, including the current
Sesquicentennial Committe. I look forward to having further
discussions about the use of the City parks.

This is a great idea. I know many people have spoken of the lake and
how it needs to be increased in depth and possibly in size . Is there
a group or groups who might help to raise money and awareness?
Maybe the St. Louis Admirals -- http://www.stlouisadmirals.com/
We could hold a few events such as races and raise money to build a
better dock/let in.
If you could collect support for this I am sure the board can and will
listen.
Please let me know if I can help.

I love the sprinkler area for kids idea - that would be an awesome
addition. A park in Chattanooga had a neat bricked area with a center
fountain that just kind of sprayed over the whole area so the kids
could run and play in it.
I also love the idea of doing open-air movie nights. Lots of other
parks do this and it's a great community event.
