Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: Building and Trades Park is a great neighborhood park that receives frequent use by diverse groups and individuals. This park is not a "blight", as others have described. The recent improvements to the park, including the pavilion and accessible trail, are well-utilized and appreciated. As a Prospect Hill resident, I look forward to continued improvements to the park in the near future. I trust that the Parks Department will engage with the various stakeholder groups who regularly utilize this park when considering what additional improvements are needed. One quick suggestion: have a Movies in the Park night here, I'm sure the neighborhood would come out for it. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the report. We value Building Trades Park, which is why we recently master planned for its future and invested around $450,000 in Phase I improvements. One of our priority investment recommendations is in fact rehabilitating and improving the sports court into a multi-use games area. We anticipate more future use of this park as new neighborhoods develop and will continue to pass along some of the more immediate security concerns to BPD. They have bolstered patrols to the park in recent months.
