ANCHORAGE
PARKS REPORT CARD
Friends
and Neighbors,
One of Anchorage’s best
assets is its extensive park system and I wanted to let you
know about an opportunity to help set its future course. This
month the Parks & Recreation Department is compiling an
Anchorage Park Report Card, by asking residents to evaluate
their neighborhood parks on the basis of cleanliness, safety,
functionality, and appearance.
Talking
with Parks & Rec workers at the Day of Caring at the Fairview
Lions Park last year. The Lions Park is one of the parks in
our community that residents can evaluate as part of the Report
Card.
The Report Card asks
residents about the condition of parks and what role they
play in the community. Are the benches clean and safe? Are
the lawns green and well-maintained? Is there graffiti on
the playground equipment? Participants will also be asked
to fill out a “Fix It List” for their neighborhood park. Is
a swing broken on the play set? Are the signs falling down?
The results will be used to create work plans for the park
maintenance staff, and to establish construction priorities
for the Summer 2009 construction season.
More information about
the Report Cards can be found at AnchorageParkFoundation.org,
or by contacting Kelly Meeker at the Municipality of Anchorage
at 343-4740 or meekerKK@muni.org.
I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to set
the course of our park system for years to come!
Until
next week,
