TO: Vail Metropo.Litan Recreation District FROM: Town of Vai.1 staff DATE: November 5, 1985 SLiBJECT: Update on work completed on Booth Creek playground TNTROpUCTION ?he purpose of this memo is to give you an update on the work thathas been completed so far on the Booth Creek playground. Over thepast five years, residents from the Booth Creek area have talked toboth Peter Patten and Pat Dodson about constructing a sma11 tot 1otin this neighborhood. Recently. the Vail Metropolitan RecreationDistrict offered $10.000 from their general fund to cover the costof a small tot 1ot. Dan Corcoran has volunteered his time to complete a survey of the enti-re park. Once this qround work wascompleted, it was decided that the Community Development andRecreation Departments shouid organi.ze a public meering in the neighborhood to determine what type of eguipment rhe residentsdesired. fhe staff began the project with the assumption thatresidents in the area wanted the playground. Our work was merely todetermine what equipment would be appropriate. As it turned out,this assumption was a misjudgement on our part. It became evident that a number of residents adjacent to theproposed site were against the playgrround. For thj-s reason, a second meeting hras orqanized to try to get broader neighborhoodrepresentation. A vote was taken at the second meeting and thernajority of residents were in favor of locating the pJ-ayground westof the existing tennis courts. 20 people voted in favor of thetennis court site with I residents opposed. 16 letters were alsosubmitted in favor of this site, as well as 14 petition signaturesand thro letters against the playground. Staff is also of theopinion that the tennis court site is the most appropriate locationfor a small playground. Our reasons are elaborated below. The tollowing memo includes: A. Surnmary of comments from the B. Surunary of comments from the C. Staff comments on the tennis October 17, 1985 meetinq. October 29, 1985 meeting. court site and Tract A. D. Staff position. Copj-es of the full minutes from each meeting and preliminary costs esLimates for the playground have also been included if you wish toreview in more detail corunents made at these meetings. -2- A. SUMMARY OF COMMENTS MADE AT THE OCTOBER 17, 1985 MEETING. VAIL MOUNTAIN SCHOOL Seventeen adults and 2 chrldren were present at the meeting. The staff presentation began wrth a review of other playgrounds ]-n the area which included Avon, Sandstone. Red Sandstone Elementary, Pirate Ship Park and Bighorn Park. The purpose ofreviewing these playgrounds was to find out what things parents and children did and did not iike about each of the playgrounds. Slides were then shown of the Booth Creek Park area tofamiliarize everybody at the meeting with the site. Thefollowing comments were made by residents at the meeting (not Listed in order of priority): . The playground should be located away from the stream, as this area is particular dangerous for small children. . The playground should be maintained as a neighborhood park without a big parking 1ot. The site should be kept as naturaLlooking as possible. . A volleyball court may attract adults and party folks. Wereally should try to keep the predominant use of this park forthe neighborhood. . The playground should be placed near the tennj-s courts so adults can play tennis and watch their kids at the same time. . I would rather see the tennis courts landscaped than have the money used to put in a tot lot. . 55 kids are in the neighborhood under the age of LZ years o1d. . Maintenance money will be high and taxpayers wiII have the burden to upkeep this playground. Maybe the money is better spent on Bighorn Park. . The playground will ruin the natural environment. . The park is bound to grow bigger and will take away the natural bushes and trees and decrease the buffer to adjacent houses. . There is a conflict between tennis courts and playground. . The playground should not extend any further than the walkway between the two courts. . If people don't like the tot lot west of the tennis courts, putit in frcnt of Danny Corcorants house. . Maintenance is very important. . Neighborhood polling for tot lot may help us to know who wantsthe tot lot and who does not. -3 lown of Vai-1 and the VaiL Recreation Board have done a lot toclean up this area. A good track record. Letts not be afraidof other improvements. Let's see an overall master plan for the park so it is clearlylaid out how much develcpment will- occur. It was decided that another meetj-ng was necessary to try to find outif a majority of people realIy wanted the tot 1ot, and if so, to getinput on the specifrc equipment. Staff was also directed to look atTract A on the south side of Bald Mountain Road to see if it wouldbe possible to put a playground in this area. Tract A is locatednorth of I-70 and south of Bald Mountain Road. Staff aLso commrttedto draw a site pJ-an for the tot lot that would respect residents, concerns about avoiding a large parking area and keeping the area ina natural state. B. qqlNABY !E qOMMENTS FROM THE OCTOBER 29, 1985 MEETING, VAIL MOUNTAIN SCHOOL 28 adults and 5 children were present at this meeting. Staffpresented a slide show of the area west of the tennis courts asweII as Tract A. Residentsr comments included the following(not iisted in order of priority): As many trees as possj.ble should be preserved in the area westof the tennis courts. Staff responded that they were notplanning to take out any trees. More parking shouldtime they \^rere not p be added. Staff stated that at thising to add any more parking. noE lann The water fountain is in place. The tot ]ot should basically max out the park's development. In favor of the tot 1ot, need local , neighborhood, easilyaccessibLe park. Many lots are sloped and it is not possible for homeowners toset up swings, etc. on thelr own property. Need tot l-ot and other activities for kids in the cornmunity.Most activities are geared toward adults. Don't plan only for just a smaIl segment of neighborhood kids. There are 3 and 6 year olds who have needsf too. Thealternative is to provide a larger and more varied playground,but perhaps elsewhere. We need open flat space for frisbee throwing and informal play. What about Tract A? Letrs not duplicate what the MounEain School already has. Let's o make it something different. Thistennis courts seems very limited. Putting a big green space on Tract A would attract kids andpeople from outside the area. r question the need. r don't really see that many chirdren inthe neighborhood. Tot lot wirl increase traffi.c on the dead end of Manns RanchRoad. Tennis players already create a parking problem byparking their cars on the road. We need a maiter plan.Peter Patten responcied by sayrng that the site plan is themaster plan and no further development is anticipated. Tennls players do not want to listen to other people's childrenplaying while they play tennis. f am not against tot lots or children.feasible. We can begin small and addOur needs will change as the years go new facilities in. Kids like to go tovariety. We could put trees in later o particular -4- slte west of the I feel Tract A is moreon eguipment as needed. on and we wiII need to putdifferent areas foron for Tract A. After a very long discussion, it was decided that a vote should betaken among the peopre at the meeting. Basically, everyone was infavor of having a tot lot. The residents divided'on the issue ofwhere the tot Lot should be located. rn respect to the tennis courtsi-te, 20 people voted in favor of locating the playground i-n thissite. 8 people voted against. 16 retteri $/ere sulmittea in favoror l-ocating the playground on the tenni-s court site. 14 petitionsj-gnatures and 2 ]etters were submitted against having aplayground. Basically, everyone was in fivor of rraci A given theassumption that they could not rocate the playground west of thetennis courts. rn other words, if it meant not having a praygroundat all, people were willing to have the playground on Tract A. C. STAFF COMMENTS ON THE TENNIS COURT SITE AND TRACT A Tennis Court Site . Natural screening is available, due to the existinglandscaping. this landscaping can also serve as shade for thechildren playing. . Adequate parking for maximum anticipated development alreadyexists on the site. . A $rater fountain already exists on the site. . From time to time noise from the chirdren wilr have an impact onthe tennis players, but in the staff's opini-on 1t will noldistract players to the point thar it is impossible to play a -5- game. rt 1s important to note that there are many other courtsin the VMRD/TOV system which are unaffected by neirby tot lotsand are available for the truly serj.ous player. Moreover, .!tshourd be taken into consideration that these tennis courts h/ereunplayable, unsigrhtly and basically ignored untiL taken over bythe VMRD/TOV. They are now among the nicest in To$/n. . Maintenance is centralized for atl the facilites includingtennis courts, fountaj.n and playground. . There is not a great deal of noise from the Free\,ray that impactsthis particular site. . There is an existing bike path to the site. . Construction will be relatively easy, as this site is veryaccessible. Tract A . The playground wi]l- need to be Located in the corner of the siteto avoid a Iot of expensj-ve site work. This will locate theplayground up against an existing chain l"ink fence. The chainlink fence provides protection, but is not particularlyattractive. . Noise from the Freeway impacts this site to a great extent. . The Town is not planning to develop this site into a large park wi.th turf areas, volleyball courts, etc. . Even more traffic will occur here, as it is very visj.ble fromthe Frontage Road and Freeway travelers. . There is not a great deal of existinq landscaping on the site.This will result in the playground not being screened very well and aLso l-ack of shade for the children p.laying. . No water fountain presently exists on this site. The cost toinstall a fountain is estimated to be $1500 plus 920.00/ft for each lineal foot needed to extend the water pipe to theplayground. . There is no existing parking on this site. . There is room to expand lf and when money is available. . There will be no noise impact on the tennis players from chj-l-dren playing. . Maintenance is dispersed between the two sites which meansgreater costs. . $10,000 will not build a tot lot on this site. -6- STAFF POSITION Staff's opinion is that we should proceed with the tennis court site for the playground. A well-designed smalt playground is feasible given our budget of $I0,000 on this site. our reasonsfor this opinion include: . A majority of people wanted the playground on this particular site. . Noise impacts from children will not be thaE great. . Traffj-c impacts wj-I1 be less than on Bald Mountain Road.Basically traffic is not an issue. As an example, our improvements that we recently added to Bighorn Park have not increased traffic to any great extent. . Existing landscaping will be preserved and the landscaprng willprovide shade for the children as well as screenrng of the play equipment. . A bike path already ties into this site. . A well designed finished product can be built wich 9L0,000. Wedo not need to al-locate more funds for the project to mal<e it a welL-designed playqround. In other words, we do not have to hope that somer^ray more money is allocated to the project so thatit is completed in an acceptable condition for our conununity. . Maintenance can be handled efficiently on this site. asrecreational facilities will be centralized. . A water fountain already exists on this site. . This aproach is in tune with the To$rn of Vail's park planningefforts. The Town is not planning on developing Tract A or Booth Creek Park to such an extent as Bighorn Park, Ford Park or Donovan Park. We prefer to see Tract A and Booth Creek Park remain in a natural state. On Tract A, we may be able Eo do some work, but more money will be needed to really do a good job, i.e. cover the cost of additionailandscaping, parking, a water fountain. etc. The only true advantage of Tract A over the tennis court site is that there wouldnot be any impact on tennis players. Staff believes that the noise r-mpact is negligible on the tennis court site. For these reasons,the staff feels that the tennis court site is the most appropriatefor a sma1l playqround. We would like to emphasize that we are verywilling to work with resldents adjacent to this site to try to come up with a design that will take into consideration their concerns.

Over thepast five !'ears, residents from the Booth Creek area have talked toboth Peter Patten and Pat Dodson about constructing a smalr tot lotin thj-s neighborhood. Recently, the Vail Metropolitan RecreationDist.rict offered $10,000 from their general fund to cover the costof a sma]I tot iot. Dan Corcoran has volunteered his time tocomplete a survey of the entire park. Once this ground work wascompleted, it was decided that the Community Development andRecreation Departments should organize a public meering in theneighborhood to determine what type of eguipment the residentsdesired. The staff began the project with the assurnption thatresj-dents in the area wanted the playground. Our work was merely todetermi-ne what eguipment would be appropriate. As it turned out,this assumption was a misjudgement on our part. It became evident that a number of resj_dents adjacent to theproposed site were aqainst the playground. For this reason, asecond meeting was organized to try to get broader neighborhoodrepresentation. A vote was taken at the second meeting and thenajority of residents were in favor of locating the playground westof the existing tennis courts. 20 people voted in favor of thetennis court site with 8 residents opposed. 16 l_etters were alsosubmitted j-n favor of this site, as well as 14 petition signatures and two letters against the playground. Staff is also of theopinion that the tennis court site is the most appropriate locationfor a small- playground. Our reasons are elaborated below. The following memo includes: A. Sunmary of commencs from the October L7, 1985 meeting. B. Surunary of comments from the October 29, 1985 meeting. C. Staff cotnments on the tennis court site and Tract A. D. Staff position. Copies of the full minutes from each meeting and preliminary costsestlmates for the playground have also been included if you wish toreview in more detail comments made at these meetj.ngs. -2- A. 9SBI=PL$)MMENTS MADE AT THE ocroBER 17, 198s MEETTNG. vArL MOUN Seventeen adults and 2 chtldren were present at the meeting.The staff presentation began wrth a review of other playgroundsrn the area which included Avon, Sandstone. Red SanditoneElementary' Pirate ship park and Bighorn park. The purpose ofrevi-ewing these praygrounds was to f ind out !,rhat thiirgs- parentsand children did and did not iike about each of tne piaylround,s.Slides were then shown of the Booth Creek park area tofamiliarize everybody at the meeting with the site. Thefollowing corunents were made by residents at the meeting (notl-isted j.n order of priority): The prayground should be located away from the stream, as Ehisarea j-s particular dangerous for small children. . The playground shoul-d be maintained as a neighborhood parkwithout a big parki.ng lot.. The sire should be kept as naturallooking as possible. . A volleyball court may attract adults and party folks. Werea11y shourd trv to keep the predominant use of this park forthe neighborhood. .

Maintenance money will be high and taxpayers will have theburden to upkeep this playground. Maybe the money is betterspent on Bighorn Park. . The playground will ruin the natural- environment. . The park is bound to grow biqger and will take away the naturalbushes and trees and decrease the buffer to adjacent houses. . There is a conflict between tennis courts and playground. . The prayground should not extend any further than the walkwavbet$reen the two courts. . ff people don't like the tot, lot west of the tennis courts, putit in frcnt of Danny Corcoranrs house. . Maintenance is very important. . Neiqhborhood polling for tot lor may herp us to know who wantsthe tot lot and who does not. -? . Town of vail and the vair Recreation Board have done a 1ot toclean up this area. A good track record.

Tract A is locatednorth of r-70 and south of Bald Mountain Road. staff a-Lso commrttedto draw a site plan for the tot lot that would respect residents'concerns about avoiding a large parking area and keepj.ng the area ina natural state. B. F=gglY_oF_gMMENrs FRoM THE M 28 adults and 5 children were present at this meeting. Staffpresented a sli-de show of the area west of the tennis courts aswell as Tract A. Residents' comments included the followinq(not listed in order of priority): . As many trees as possible should be preserved in the area westof the tennis courts. Staff responded that they were notplanning to take out any trees. . More parking should nor be added. Staff stated that at thistime they vrere not pla--nning to add any more parking. . The water fountain is in place. The tot tot should basicallymax out the park's development. . In favor of the tot lot, need local, neighborhood, eas1lyaccessible park. . Many lots are sloped and it is not possible for homeowners toset up s!.rings, etc. on thej.r or"rn property. . Need tot lot and other activj-ties for kids in the comnunity.Most act j-vities are geared toward adul_ts. . Donrt plan only for just a small segrnenr of neighborhood kids. . There are 3 and 6 year olds who have needs, too. Thealternative is to provide a. larger and more varied playground,but perhaps elsewhere. . We need open flat space for frj_sbee throwing and informa.L play. What about Tract A? . Let's not duplicate hrhat the Mounrain School already has. Letfs -4- srte west ot the Tract A would attract kids and rpally see that many children in I feel Tract A i_s moreon eguipment as needed.on and we will need to putdifferent areas foron for Tract A. IS COURT SITE AND TRACT A t cul-armake 1t somerhing different. This partitennj-s courts seems very limited. Putting a big green space onpeople from outside the area. I question the need. I don't,the neighborhood. Tot lot wi-ll increase traffic on the dead end of Manns RanchRoad. Tennis players already create a parking problem byparking their cars on the road. we need a malter plan.Peter Patten responcied by sayrng that the site plan is themaster plan and no further development is anticipated. Tennis players do not want to listen to other peopre's childrenplaying while they play tennis. f am not agarnst tot lots or children.feasible. We can begin small and addOur needs wiLl change as the years go new facilities in. Kids tike to go covariety. We could put trees in later After a very long discussion, it was d.ecioed that a vote should. betaken among the people at the meeting. Basica]ly, everyone was infavor of having a tot lot. The residents dividei'on the issue ofwhere the tot lot should be located. rn respecr to the tennis courtsite, 20 people voted in favor of locating tire playground in thi.ssite. 8.people voted against. LG letteri were suLmittea in favoror rocating the playground on the tennis court site. 14 petitionsignatures and 2 letters were submitted against having aplayground. Basically, everyone was in fivor of rract A given theassumption that they could not rocare the playground west of thetennis courts. rn other words, if it meanl noi naving a praygiounaat aL1, people were wirring to have the playgrouna on rract e. STAFF Tennis Court Site Natural screening is avaj.lable, due to the existinglandscaping. This landscapi-ng can also serve as shad.e for thechildren playing. Adequate parking for maximum anticipated development arreadyexists on the site. A lrater fountain already exists on the site. From time to time noise from the children will have an impact on-r-he teDDis players, but in the staff's opinion it will nol.distract players to the point thar it is impossible to play a game. rt is important to note that there are many other courtsin the vMRD/Tov system which are unaffected by nelrby tot lotsand are available for the truly serious playei. Mor-over, itshould be taken into consideration that Lheie tennis couri" wereunprayable, unsightry and basically ignored untiJ. taken over bythe \/MRD/TOV. They are nor.r amongt the nicest in Town. Maintenance is dispersed between thegreater costs. $10,000 will not build a tot lot on -5- two sites which means this site. . Maintenance is centralized for aII the facilites includingtennls courts, fountain and playground. . There is not a great dear of noise from the Freeway that impactsrhis particuLar site. . There is an existing bike path to the site. . Construction wj-l1 be relatively easy, as this site is veryaccessibLe. Tract A . The playground will need to be located in the corner of the siteto avoid a lot of expensive site worJ<. This wllL locate theplayground up against an existing chain link fence. The chainlink fence provides protection, but is not particularlyattractive. . Noise from the Freeway impacts this site to a great extent. . The Town j-s not planning to develop this site into a large parkwith turf areas, volleyball courts, etc. I . Even more traffic will occur here, as it is very visible fromthe Frontage Road and Freeway travelers. . There is not a great deal of existing landscaping on the site.This will resu-Lt in the playground not being screened very welland also lack of shade for the children playing. . No water fountain presently exists on this site. The cost toinstall a fountain is estimated to be S1500 plus 920.00/ft foreach lineal foot needed to extend the water pipe to thepLayground. . There is no existing parking on this site. . There j-s room to expand if and when money is available. . There will be no noise impact on the tennis players fromchildren playing. D.STAFF POSITION Staff's opinion is that wesite for the playground. feasible given our budgetfor this opinion include: -6- should proceed with the tennis court A well-designed small playground isof $10,000 on this site. our reasons Trafflc impacts willBasically traffic isj-mprovements that rrTe be 11a1f less anentl than on issue.

In other words, we do not have tohcpe that someway more money is allocated to Lhe project so thatit is completed in an acceptable condltion for our cornmunity. Maintenance can be handled efficiently on this site, asrecreati-onal facili-ti-es will be centralized. A water fountain alreadv exists on this site. .4tr/. tnis aproach is in tune with thq Town of vail's park planning 1A- Booth Creek Park to such an extent as Bighorn Park, Ford Park or Donovan Park. We prefer to see Tract A and Booth Creek park remain in a natural state. On Tract A, we may be able to do some work, but more money will be needed to really do a good job, i.e. cover the cost of additionallandscaping, parkiDg, d \^rater fountain, etc. C&e__AnLg_gue t chere wouldnot bg +nv impaet-en tenfris plavgr.s. Staff believes t the noise J-mpact is negligible on the tennis- court site. For these reasons,the staff feel-s that the tennis court site is the most appropriatefor a small playground. we wourd rike to emphasize that we are verywilling to work with residents adjacent to this site to try to comeup with a design that wi.ll take i;to consideration their concerns.

The water fountaj-n is in place. max out the park's development. The tot lot should basicallv . In favor of the tot 1ot, need local , nei.ghborhood, easllyaccessible park. . Many lots are sloped and it is not possible for homeowners toset up slvings, etc. on their oh/n property. . Need tot lot and other activitj-es for kids in the community.Most activities are geared toward aduLts. . Don't plan only for just a small segrment. of neighborhood kids. . There are 3 and 6 year olds who have needs, toc. thealternaLive is to provide a. larger and more varied playground,but perhaps elsewhere. . We need open flat space r-or frisbee throwing and informal play. What about Tract A? . Letrs not duplicate what the Mouncain School already has. Let,s make it something different. This particular srte west of thetennis courts seems very limited. Putting a big green space on Tract A wouLd attract kids andpeople from outside the area. r questi-on the need. r dontt. rearJ-y see that many children inthe neighborhood. Tot 1ot wiLl increase traffic on the dead end of Manns RanchRoad. Tennis players already create a parking problem byparking their cars on the roid. we need a maltlr plan.Peter Patten responcied by sayrng that the site pla-n is themaster plan and no further development is antj.cipated.. Tennis prayers do not $rant to risten to other people's childrenplaying while they play tennis. I am not agalnst tot lots orfeasible.

I feel Tract A is moreand add on eguipment as needed.years go on and we will need to putto go to different areas forin later on for Tract A. After a very long discussion, it was deciaed that a vote should betaken among the people at the meeting. Basically, everyone was infavor of having a tot lot. The residents divided'on the issue ofwhere the tot Lot shoul-d be located. rn respecr to the tennis courtsite, 20 people voted in favor of locatinq the playground in thissite. 8 people voted against. lG letteri were sunmittea in favoror locating the playground on the tennis court srte. 14 peti_tionsignatures and 2 letters were submitted against having aplayground. Basically, everyone was in fivor of rract A given theassumption that they could not locare the playground west of thetennis courts. rn other words, if it meant noi having a ptaygroundat all, people were willing to have the playground on Tract R. C. STAFF COMMENTS ON THE TENNIS COURT STTE AND TRACT A Tennis Court Site Natural screening is available, due to the existinglandscaping. This landscaping can also serve as shad.e for thechildren playing. Adequate parklng for maximum anticipated development alreadyexists on the site. A \"rater f ountain already exfsts on the site. From time to time noise from the children wirl have an impact on'uhe tennis players, but in the staff's opinion 1t will noldi-stract prayers to the point thar it is impossible to pray a -5- game. rt is important to note that there are many other courtsin the VMRD/TOV system which are unaffected by neirny tot lotsand are availabre for the trul-y serious player. Mor-over, itshoul-d be taken into considerati,on that these tennis courls wereunplayable, unsiqthtly and basically ignored untiL taken over bythe VMRD/TOV. They are now among the nicest in Town. . Maintenance is centralized for all the facilites includingtennis courts, fountain and playground. . There is not a great dear of noise from the Freeway that impactschis particular site. . There is an existing bike path to the site. . Construction will be relatively easy, as this site is veryaccessible. Tract A . The playground will need to be located in the corner of the siteto avoid a Lot of expensive site work. This will locate theplayground up against an existing chain link fence. The chainlink fence provides protection, but. is not particularlyattractive. . Noise from the Freeway impacts this site to a great extent. . The Town is not planning to develop this site into a large parkwith turf areas, volJ-eyball courts, etc. . Even more traffic will occur here, as it is very visible fromthe Frontage Road and Freeway travelers. . There is not a great deal of existing landscapinq on the sj_te.This will result in the playground not being screened very welland also lack of shade for the children playing. . No r^rater f ountain presently exists on this sj-te. The cost toinstall a fountain is estimated to be $f500 plus $20.00/ft foreach lineal foot needed to extend the water pipe to theplayground. . There is no exlsting parking on this site. . There is room to expand if and vihen money is available. . There will be no noi-se impact on the tennis pLayers fromchildren playing. . Maintenance is dispersed between the two sites which meansgreaEer cosEs. . $10,000 will not build a tot lot on this slre. -6- D.STAFF POSITION Staff's opinj.on is that we should proceed with the tennis court site for the playground. A well-designed small playground is feasible given our budget of 310,000 on this site. Our reasons for this opinion j.nclude: . A majority of people wanted the playground on this particular site. . Noise impacts from chj-ldren will not be rhat, great. . Traffic impacts will be less than on Bald Mountain Road.Basically traffic is not an issue. As an example, our improvements that we recently added to Bighorn park have notincreased traffic to any great extent. . Existing landscaping will be preserved and the landscaprng willprovide shade for the children as well as screenrng of rhe play equipment. . A bike path already ties into this site. . A well designed finished product can be built wich 910,000. wedo not need to allocate more funds for the project to make it awell--designed playground. In other words. we do not have to hcpe that someway more money is allocated io the project so thatit i.s completed in an acceptable condition for our community. . Maintenance can be handled efficientLy on this site, aslecreati-onal facifities will be centralized. . A water fountain already exists on this site. . This aproach is in tune with the fown of vail's park planning efforts. The Town is not pfanning on developing Tract A or Booth Creek Park to such an extent as Bighorn Park, Ford Park or Donovan Park. We prefer to see Tract A and Booth Creek Park remain in a natural state. On Tract A, we may be able to do some work, but more money wlL1 be needed to realIy do a good job, i.e. cover the cost of additionailandscaping, parking, a water fountain, etc. The onJ.y true advantage of Tract A over the tenni3 court site is that there wouldnot be any impact on tennis players. Staff believes that the noisermpact is negligible on the tennis court site. For these reasons,the staff feels that the tennis court site is the most appropriatefor a sma1l playqround. we wouid like to emphasize that we are verywilling to work with resldents adjacent to this site to try to come up with a design that will take i;ro consideration thei-r concerns. o BOOTH CREEK TOT LOT Minutes of meeting of 10/29/BS Approx'imately 28 adults present l.

Soon, however, working groups were orgalized andwe climbed into pickups, cars, and Forest Serviie vans. ourtransportetion to tle Pswne.e pass trailhead.

A }IAZE .4 {5 minute hike up a well-worn trail brousht us to amaze. Happily shedding our packboards (the ariry did nothave comfort in mind when these were designedi and hay we split into our sepafate wonking groups.

Over thepast five years, residents from the Booth Creek area have talked toboth Peter Patten and Pat Dodson about constructing a smal1 tot lotin this neighborhood. RecentJ-y, the VaiI MetropoLitand.ecreationDistrict offered $10,000 from thej-r generaL fund to cover the costof a sma1l tot iot. Dan Corcoran has volunteered his time tocomplete a survey of the entire park. Once this qround work wascompleted, j-t was decided that the Community Development andRecreation Departments shouid organize a public meetj.ng in theneighborhood to determine what type of equipment r,he residentsdesired. The staff began the project with the assumpti-on thatresidencs in the area wanted the playground. Our work was merely todetermine what equipment would be appropriate. As it turned out,this assumption was a misjudgement on our part. ft became evident that a nurnber of residents adjacent to theproposed site were against the playground. For this reason, asecond meeting was organized to try to get broader neighborhoodrepresentation. A vote sras taken at the second meeting and thernajority of residents were in favor of locating the playground westof the exist5-ng tennis courts. 20 people voted in favor of thetennis court site with 8 residents opposed. 16 tetters were alsosubmitted in favor of this site, as well as 14 petition signaturesand two letters against the playground. Staff is also of theopinion that the tennis court site is the most appropriate locationfor a smalI playground. Our reasons are elaborated below. The following memo includes: A. Summary of commenrs from the October L7, 1985 meeting. B. Sunmary of comments from the October 29, 1985 meeting. C. Staff comnents on the tennis court site and Tract A. D. Staff position. Copies of the full minutes from each meeting and preliminary costsestimates for the playground have also been included if you wish to revj-ew in more detail cornments made at these meetings. a'-2- A. SUMMARY OF COI4T|ENTS MA MOUNTAIN SCHOOL Seventeen adults and 2 chrldren hrere present at the meeting.?he staff presentation began !,rlth a review of other pj.aygrounds :-n the area which included Avon, Sandstone. Red Sandstone'Elementary, Pirate Ship Park and Bighorn park. The purpose ofreviewing these playgrounds was to find out what things parents and children did and did not iike about each of the playgrounds." Slides were then shown of the Booth Creek park area rofamiliarize everybody at the meeting with the site. Thefollowing comments were made by residents at the meeting (notlisteci in order of priority): ... . The playground should be located away from the stream, as thisarea is particular dangerous for small children. . The playground should be maintained as a neighborhood parkwithout a big parking lot. The site should be kept as naturallooking as possible. . A:volleyball court may attract adults and party folks. Wereally should try to keep the predominant use of this park forthe neighborhood. . The playground should be placed near the tennis courts so adultscan pLay tennis and watch their kids at the same time. .'I'woul-d rather see the tennis courts landscaped than have the money used to put in a tot lot. ' . 55 kids are in the neighborhood under the age of 12 years old. . Maintenance money will be high and taxpayers will have theburden to upkeep this playground. Maybe the money is betterspent on Bighorn Park. . The playground witl ruin the natural environment. . The park is bound to grow bigger and will take away the naturalbushes and trees and decrease the buffer to adjacent houses. . There is a conflict between tenni_s courts and playground. . The playground should not extend any further than the walkwaybetween the t$ro courts. . If peopLe don't like the tot lot west of the tennis courts, putit in frcnt of Danny Corcoran's house. . Maintenance is very important. . Neighborhood polling for tot 1or may help us to know who r^rantsthe tot lot and who does not. Town of Vail and the VaiI Recreation Board haveclean up this area. A good track record. LeE'sof other improvements. -J done a lot tcnot be afraid P . Let's see an overall master plan for the park so it is clearlvlaid out how much develcpment will occur. rt was decided that another meeting was necessary to try to find outif a majority of people really $fanted the tot lot, and if so, to getinput on the specifrc equipment. staff was al-so directed, to look atTract A on the south side of BaLd Mountai-n Road to see if it wourdbe possible to put a ptayground in this area. Tract A is rocatednorth of r-70 and south of Bard Mountain Road. staff al-so commrttedto drary' a site plan for the tot lot that would respect resid.ents,concerns about avoi-ding a large parking area and keepj-ng the area ina natural state. wTS FROM THE OCTOBER 29, 1985 MEETTNI 28 adults and 5 children $rere present at this meeting. Staffpresenced a slide show of the area west of the tennis courts aswell as Tract A. Residentsr comnents included the followinq(not ii.sted in order of priority): As many trees as possi-ble should be preserved i-n the area westof the tennis court,s. Staff responded that they were notplanning to take out any trees. More parking should qot be added. Staff stated that at thistime they were not pTlEning to ad.d, any more parking. the water fountain is in place. The tot lot should basicallvmax out the park's development. In favor of the tot lot, need local, neighborhood, easilyaccessible park. Many }ots are sloped and it is not possible for homeowners toset, up swings, etc. on their otn/n property. Need tot lot and other activities for kids in the communitv.Most activities are geared t.oward adul_ts. Don't plan only for just a small segment of neighborhood kids. There are 3 and 5 year olds who have needs, toc. Thealternatlve is to provide a. larger and more varied. playground,but perhaps elsewhere. we need open flat space for frisbee throwing and informal pfay.What about Tract A? . Let's not duplicate what the Mounrain School already has. Let's make it somet,hing different. Thistennis courts seems very limited. -4- ar s].te $rest of th; o particul Putting a bigr green space on Tract A woul-d, attract kids andpeople from outside the area. I question the need.+-he neighborhood.I don?t, really see that many children j.n Tot lot will increase traffic on the dead end of Manns RanchRoad. - Tennis players already create a parking problem byparklng their cars on the roid. we need a mait6r plan.Peter Patten responcied by sayrng that the site plan is themaster plan and no further development is anticipated. Tennis prayers do not \"rant to risten to other people's chiLdrenplaying while they play tennis. r am not agar-nst tot rots or children. r feer Tract A is morefeasible. we can begin smarr and add on eguipment as needed.our needs wiLl chanse.is the years go on anc we wirr need, to putnew facilities in. Kids like to go to different areas forvariety. We could put trees in later on for Tract A. After a very long di-scussion, it was decioed. that a vote shoul_d. betaken among the peopre at the meeting. Basicalry, everyone was infavor of having a tot lot. The resiients divia"i'on the issue ofwhere the tot lot shoul-d be located. rn resp-ci--to ttre tennis courtsite' 20 people voted in favor of locatinq tire playground in thissite. 8.people voted against. 16 letteri rer"'"uorittea in favoror locating the playground on the tennis court srte. 14 petitionsignatures and 2 letters were submitted agai-nst having a - playground.

STAFF COMMENTS ON THE TENNIS COURT STTE AND TRACT A Tennis Court Site . NaturaL screening is available, due to the existinglandscaping. This landscaping can also serve as shade for thechlldren playing. . Adequate parking for maximurn anticipated. development alreadyexists on the site. . A water fountain already exists on the site. . From tlme to Lime noise from the children wirl have an impact onthe tennis prayers, but in the staff's opini-n it wlr.r. notdistract players ro the point thar it is'impossible to priy a -5- game. rt is important t,o note that there are many other courtsin the VMRD/TOV sYstem which are unaffected by nearby tot lotsand are available for the truly serious player. Moreover, itshould be taken into consideration that these tennis courts wereunplayable, unsightly and basically ignored untiL taken over bythe VMRD/TOV. They are norr, among the nicest in Town . Maintenance is centralized for aL1 the facilites includinqtennis_ courts, fountain and playground. . There is not a great deal of noise from the Freeway that impactsrhis particular site. . There is an existing bike path to the site. . Construction will be relatively easy, as this site is veryaccessibl-e. ?ract A . The playground will need to be located in the corner of the siteto avoid a lot of expensj-ve site wor.k. This will locate theplayground up against an existing chain link fence. The chainlink fence provides protection, bur is not particularlyattracLive. . Noise from the Freeway impacts this site to a great extent. . The Town is not planninq to develop this site into a large parkwj-th turf areas, volleyball courts, etc. . Even more traffic will occur here, as it is very visible frcmthe Frontage Road and Freeway travelers. . There is not a great deal of existing landscaping on the site.This will resul-t in the playground not being screened very welland also lack of shade for the children playlnq. . No water fountain presently exists on this site. The cost toinstall a founrain is estimated to be $1500 plus $20.00/ft foreach lineal foot needed to extend the water pipe to theplayground. . There is no exlsting parking on this site. . There is room to expand if and when money is avaitabLe. . There will be no noj-se impact on the tennis players fromchiLdren playing. . Maintenance is dispersed between the two sites which meansgreaEer cosEs. . $10,000 will not build a tot 1ot on this sj-te. -6- D.STAFF POSITION Staff's opinion is that we should proceed with the tennis courtsite for the playground. A well-desJ-gned small playground isfeasible given our budget of $10,000 on this site. Our reasonsfor this opini-on include: A majority of peopLe wanted the playground on this particularsite. - . Noi.se impacts from children will not be thar great. . tra.ific impacts wilr be less than on Bald Mountain Road.Basically traffic is not an issue. As an example, ourimprovements that \^re recently added to Bighorn park have notincreased, traffic to any great extent. - E-xisting landscapi-ng will be preserved and the landscap:-ng wilrprovide shade for the chiLdren as werl as screenrng of the prayequipment. . A bike path already ties into thj-s site. .. A well designed finished producr can be built wirh g10,000. We'do noc need to allocate more funds for the project to mat(e it a" well-desiqned playqrdund. In other words, re ao not have tohcpe that someway more money is allocated io the project so that.- it is completed in an acceptable condition for our community. . Maintenance can be handLed effj-ciently on rhis site, asrecreational facili-ties wi-L1 be centralized. . A water fountain already exists on this site. . This aproach is in tune with the Toqrn of Vail's park planningefforts. The Town is not planning on developing Tract A orBooth creek Park to such an extent as Bighorn park, Ford park orDonovan Park. We prefer to see Tract A and Booth Creek park remain in a natural state. on Tract A, we may be abre to do some work, but more money will beneeded to really do a good job, j..e. cover the cost of additionaj-landscaping, parking, d water fountain, etc. The only trueadvantage of Tlact A over the tenni-s court site is chat there wourdnot be any impact on tennis players. staff believes that the noi_selmpact is negligible on the tenni-s court site. For these reasons,the staff feels that the tennis court si_te is the most appropriatefor a small prayground. we wouid rike to emphasize that we ire verywirling to work with residents adjacent to this slte to try to comeup with a design that, will take inco consid.eration their concerns.

In unison, they counted down, "... ten-nine"+ight-seven, . . ." At "zero," the kids whooped. And then, lite Cru- saden storming the walls of Jerusalem, they ran full dlt onto their new playground, finished just ten min' utes before, a crenellated, turr€ted, ramped bridged, cubbyholed and parsagewayed complex of transmog ri6ed tires, salvaged telephone poles and lovingly sanded pine boards. The children clambered up the playground's casde turrets and they slid down and around a corkscrewing slide. They spilunked in tractor-dre caves, bounced across a rubber bridge, manned the srcering wheels (detaclred from junked cars) oI the spaceship-dippcr' iacer-whatever-Jou-want creation at the playgrcundt center, and slid yelling down the frre poles, while the Mount Vernon High School "Wonder Band" oompah' pahed. Mothers, fathers, teachers and neighbors, who irad just frnished sawing and nailing the playground tog"tt .t, watched with extremely broad smiles'- in the middte of the uproar, powdered with saw- dust, ebullient as a new daddy about to pass out cig'ars, was Bob Leathers, a gray'mustachioed architect with a fringe of shoulderlength graying hair, who wore bat- t t d Nit" running shoes, jeans, a denim jacket' a frayed Israeli Army work hat, and a big, boyish-grin' Leathers-Central Casting's ideal rafrsh gunslinger with a golden heart-is the godfather of Mount Design Day, Jack Elementary in Maine: kids.clamor for S;Ut aifttion as he ponders their latest ideas' Vernon's two new playgrounds, and of approximately 250 others ^crot ihe country' each the product of a 1980s variation on an American tradition: the com- munity barn raising. From his offices in lthaca, New York, Leathen goes Johnny Appleseeding across the country, planting va- 'cant lots ""a tO""t yards, not with Mclntoshes and Baldwins but with playgrounds concocted from piles of donated lumber, nails and general flotsam, built by brigades of volunteers. Visually, the playgrounds are stuining, perhaps because they are consttucted, chiefly, oI a rare intangible-community spirit' Leathen' playgrounds are designed, to a surprising extent, by th"' .hildt"tt who will use them' They are funded, largely, by donations of money and mate' rials from locai citizens and businesses' And they are constructed by hundreds of turnedon kids, moms' dads, teachers and neighbors, many of whom have ,r.ua. b.fora wielded i hacksaw or even heard of a boom auger, which drills holes for telephone poles' "Kids lre great, but what really gets me is the com- munity thing, maybe because I grew up as an only child in nangor, Maine, maybe because, I sPeht seventh grade alone at home para\zed-only.temPo rarily, th-ank God-with polio, and certainly because I'm a product of '6os communalism," sap kathers' es a cnta, when he wasn't helping at his father's Bansor gas station, he was building tree house after ,.".ilo.ri., to*e two or thrte stories high, with a troop of friends.

Brainstorming in cafeteria, children consult with their architect: A platform for break dancing? All agog, preschool tots at Adams vie in presenting desires: "Spider webl" "Haunted houset" ..Mermiidt" there is," he says. And his mother remembers him at the beach, constructing inticate sand villages, from which other children were banned. ..They hid no re- spect," Leathers grumbles. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in lg6b, he joined a large Oregon architectural firm, designing office build- ings. He and his family lived in one of that era,s flourishihg communes, and he spent his spare time de- signing light-and-sound "happenings,' for rock groups."I worked at a community theater, which I con- tinued when my famiiy and I moved to Ithaca, but then I discovered that, for bringing a comrnunity to gether, even better than theater is a real happening- a playground," he says. The discovery was serendipitous. In lg?0, when his three older children were still tykes, he volunteered to design an Ithaca school playground. Then other near- by schools persuaded him to do the same for them. An admiring visitor wanted a playground for his Long Island community and that led to more requests even farther afield. Until l98l the playgounds wene a nonprofit hobby for Lcathen, who has all the energy of a hyperactive I l-yearold, His wife says "he even sleeps at 100 miles per hour." Even so, at approximately 40 playgrounds a year, he has had to incorporate the projects into his regular architectural practice. Playgrounds now make up 40 percent of his firm's output. He charges Iess for them, however-his fees for designing, organizing and supervising the construction of a playground range from $1,500 to 96,500. He still insists on community eftort, even for such unlikely clients as Ling-Ling and Hsing-Hsing, rhe pandas in Washington's National Zoo, for whom he re- cently designed an outdoorplay and exercise structure. "In this case," he says, "hundreds of volunteers turned out to build something for these national treasures." I-eathers "met" with his "clients," observed their antics, ralked with their keepers, studied their natural environment and consulted with zoo experts. Then, in wood, he created a structure inspired by the ridges and ledges of the Chinese mounrains where wild pan- das climb. A more typical playground project got under way at Jack Elementary School, in the Munjoy Hill area of Portland, Maine, one sunny Thunday morning last April. On this "Design Day," Leathen-wearing hig customary denims and a red T-shirt with a sketched playground captioned "We Built It Together"-sat at a cafeteria table, his pencil poised over the half-drawn plan for a playground. Sixteen wide-eyed kindergart- The author tried out, and surviaed., euerything on playgrounds but tunnels (" undignified" ) anit sliites ("d bigrcgret-couldn't get near them lor the kids"). 108 Thursday 7 e.u., Mount Vernon: construction time. elementary school; some phone poles are in place. ners crowded around him, hands raised and vibrating. _ "OK, now this playground is going to have a lot Jf bouncy bridges, and a big tower, aod oue. here's a tunn_el, and there are rings for you to swing on, and a big dinosaur you can climb-anyone wani anything else?" I-eathers asked. "A slide?" suggested a towhead, wearing a Celtics sweat shirt. "OK, see this dinosaur's tail?,' said Leathers, pencil darting at the plan. ".I-hat's going ro be a bumpy stide that goes right into this cave full of . . . MONSiERSI""A curvy slide?" asked a freckled redhead in green."That's a good idea," said Leathers. ..LeCs see if we can make this bumpy dinosaur_tail slide a curving slide, too." His pencil darted and the dinosaur's tai'i acquired a dramatic curve. After the kindergartners, teacher led them away, ^class of first-graders crowded around the architect. "You know what's under this bridge?', he asked. ..you know the three Billy Goats Gruff?', ,,A TROLL!" clamored the children. "We,re going to build. this in four days," said Leathers, .,and do you know who's going to build it?" ',WE AREI', rhe ihildren cried. Meanra'hile, school principal Cheryl Jensen showed a visitor the school's corridors, plastered with play- ground artifacts, from a drawing of smiling itick figures srvinging hammers to playgrouncls modeled in clay and sheets of paper listing ,,our ideas.,' "This is Portland's inner city, and gl percent of our pupils come from low-income families,i' Tensen said. "For many o[ them, the school is the most-stable thing in their lives. IVIany have never been on a bus, to thi beach, or even our of the neighborhood-for them, this playground could be a real enrichment.,' That evening, 150 dubious parents filtered into Jack Elementary's gymnasium foi the kickofi meetins.

Bob Leathers took the microphone and showed slides of some of his completed playgrou nds. One man worried that rhe playground soon would be vandal- ized into rubble. "When the kids and the community. build these projects themselves, rhe good feeling lasts,; T,eathers said, with a preacher's fervor. ,,We've put up these playgrounds in tough sections of New york City, and they're still doing fine." By meeting's end, the audience had learned that two playgrounds-one at Jack and one at nearby n0 Friday, 8.1.u.: decking for the castle is at left rear; railroad-tie edging, held fast by steel rods, is being laid. Sunday, 8 r.u.: tire "cubes" (right of maze) and bridge to castle are in; river gravel is being spread. Adams School-would cost more than $200,000 built commercially. Hor,r'ever, with volunteer labor, loaned tools and donated supplies, it would be about 935,000. They would be able to raise the monen Leathen as- sured them. "I wanted to keep costs down for a play- ground in Sodus, New York, where a lot of the people are very poor-migratory apple pickers-but they said, 'We don't want a second-rate playground.' I told them that if they could raise 95,000 it would be a lot. They raised more than 930,000t" Applause broke out and people began signing up for volunteer committees. Meanwhile, a thousand miles to the west, Mount Vernon, Iowa-atop a hill, tvith a population of 3,500, including 1,100 students at Cornell College-was out to prove that a community really could build its own superplayground. Leathers had blown in the previous September, staying with a local family to cut the community's costs. He had met with students, designed playgrounds for Washington Elementary School and Mount Vernon Middle School, whipped up enthusiasm and buzzed out of the nearby Cedar Rapids airport, leaving precise guidelines for committees to be formed, money to be raised, and materials and tools to be begged, borrowed or, only as a last resort, bought. Project coordinator Jackie Martin, a preschool teacher and author of children's books, and fellow volunt€ers found themselves responsible for making two commu- nity playgrounds happen. "l'm from Meredith Willson's hometown, Mason City, Iowa, which he called River Ciry in Thc Music Man, and I couldn't help thinking that Bob Leathers is a lot like Professor Harold Hill in the musical, stir- ring up everyone in town," Superintendent of Schools Adrian Ringold pointed out. "Bob Leathers was such a dynamo," Carol Dillard added, "you could almost hear those 76 trombonesl" Over the winter, Mount Vernon's playground en- thusiasts dug in. "First we did 'Buy-a-Board,' with kids collecting donations for the playgounds' wood, three dollars for each board-they raised more than $7,000," says Mrs. Dillard, a homemaker who cochaired the all- Monday, 6 a.u .: Voild!

("I went to the ini- tial meeting just to see what was going on and walked out the treasurer.") Her daughter Sarah, in grade three, alone sold 40 boards. One sunny October day, 35 kids gleaned a farmer's fields for unharvested corn, tossing two tons of ears into a pickup truck for sale to a grain elevator. Then there was the monster "garage sale" in a big auction hall, when Mount Vernon's citizens gathered to buy back the various castoffs they had previously donated, everything from water heaters to a pedigreed black-and-white rabbit, which went for nine dollars. The sale netted another $5,500. A Cornell social group raised about $500 collecting deposit cans and bottles. And there was a chicken dinner, raffes and a Rotary versus Lions basketball game, plus in- dividual and business donations. Suddenly it was spring and the playground committee found, to its astonishment, that it had raised $40,000. A few months earlier, Mount Vernon's citizens had had a veritable civil war over the esthetics of a new spaceship-style water tower that now dominates the skyline. "We needed something healing, and this play- ground project was it," Carol Dillard explained. Wizards uith money and. equipment By April 23, when Leathers flew back with two assis- tants-Ernie Bayles and Barry Segal-Mount Vernon's playground activists, besides raising large sums, had, wizardlike, caused donated equipment to accumulatc in magnificent heaps. Materials chairwoman Connie Boettcher ("This Is No Ordinary Housewife You're Dealing With," said the legend on her football jersey) stood on the Cedar Rapids wrecking company's trailer that served as her on-site headquarters, presiding over her hoard of carriage bolts, eyebolts, machine bolts, drill bits, sandpaper, duct tape, nuts, nails, washers and caulk donated by Beranek's True Value and the Mt. Vernon Farm & Home store. She also commanded tubs of custom<ut washers sup- plied by the Mt. Vernon Steel & Wire Co. for bolting tog€ther the 40 tractor tires, 100 semi tires, and 300 car tires that Connie, six other adult volunteers and ten kids had collected in Cedar Rapids in an all'day down- pour, hauling them home on a truck furnished by Wilkin Elevator of nearby Lisbon. Now a tractor do' nated by a carpenter was scooping up sod from the playground site. Cedar Rapids' Plaza Paint had cod' tributed gallons of paint, sealer, thinner and six cans of spray paint, which Barry Segal was using to color code scores of embedded states indicating spots where the boom auger, on loan {rom Linn County Rural Elec- ric, should drill holes for the telephone poles, from Northwestern Bell, that would hold up the playground. On Thursday-cloudy, windy and cold-a steady l12 Anne Halsey, I 1, intently practices for a contest to see who can stay the longest on platform swing. which had been lent him by the local dealership. In fact, the jumble of posts and boards was taking shape. At one end, to the astonishmenr of those who had been working on it, a castle was rising. Bolted- together tires, now topped with wooden platforms, had become tipsy seats to ride. A corkscrew slide was half-assembled. And that conveyor belt was becoming a bouncy bridge between two platforrns. Hundreds of volunteers swarmed over the site, wielding loaned tools. There were 100 extension cords, 300 hammers, six chain saws, rwo backhoes, a front- end loader, 40 levels, 50 scrub brushes, 2E electric drills, 30 rakes, 20 wood rasps, 12 belt sanden, four disk sanders, 45 circular saws, 60 sawhorses, Z0 screw- drivers, 40 shovels, 35 framing squares, l5 combination squares and eight wheelbarrows, not to mention socket wrenches, open end wrenches, elecuic impact wrenches, crescent wrenches, utility knives, torches, tin snips, tape measures, table saws, handsau's and hacksaws. Connie Boettcher, presiding over this ar- senal assembled by her husband and a middle school teacher, maintained contact via walkie-talkie with the two site supervisors and Bob Learhers. On Saturday, sunny and warm, 350 volunteers buzzed with news. Real estate agent [,ee Niederhauser had told RobertaRingold, the school superintendent's wife, that she had just sold a house to clients impressed by the playgrounds and the community's spirit. "I knew we could do it, but I didn't think we could do it this well," commented Stephanie Frantz, holding a hammer. "Did you know that a grandparent donated the oak tree that became the big beam to hold up thar tire swing? And I've learned to use tools my husband said I hever could," "I figure I'll use this playground lots," said Ebe Boettcher (p. 107). "I'd say I'lI use the casde the most, because it's going to be pretty huge," Tall, blond Ed Bjork, an architectural hardware consultant, having finished work atop one of the castle's towen, took a shortcut and whizzed down a just-assembled slide. Resting from hammering, David Loebsack, a political science professor at the college, mentioned that he had been doing research on Kenya. "They have a kind of community barn rais- ing there, too, and they have a word for it- harambee," he said. "I've lived in Tokyo and Chicago, but I'll take this," said Don Typer, the retired president of Doane College in Nebraska. Iowa Department of tansporta- tion special investigator Kerry Kirkpatrick, who had developed a decided limp as the project progressed, said, "It hurts, but it hurts good." And then it was Sunday evening, the community had counted down in unison, the kids had charged onto the completed playground, and the project was over. Long after dark, with children still rampaging through the playground, after the celebratory potluck supper, the standing ovation for Bob Leathers, Barry Segal and Ernie Bayles, and the presentations of me- mento T-shirts ("Mt. Vernon: One Hill of a Town"), everybody stood around looking giddy and dazed. Bob Leathers sr!'ung on a suspended tire, watching the kids swarm over the playground and grinning be- atifically. "I'm already experiencing postplayground letdown," sighed attorney Darrel Morf. Tom Wlkin- son, a foreman at Rockwell Graphics, had a cure. "I hear they're working on a project just like this in Portland, Maine," he said, watching his children climbing the torvers under the lights, jouncing across the rubber bridge and hanging from a horizontal ladder. "I think I may take my vacation up there next autumn and give them a hand." Catherine Hileman, two, squirms out of tire ladder. Steven Steggall, on the mark, eagerly awaits his turn. l14 oo t6'i\q *{lrb, Jr't btr [Yiin,!t WW Pl'*" SrF ]Jt - +fiLM' {Dllz- 1986 REPAIR & REPLACEMENT PARTS GUIDE FOR PARK & PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT Keep this pgltg catalog in yogr partszmaintenance ille IOr permanent reterence.

Background The CPSG has been studying publlc play-. ground equipmsnt for a number ol years in an attompt to reducs playground injuriea. ln 1977 alone, for example, an eslimat€d 9i1,0fi) inju- ries associated with public playground equip- ment w€re treat€d in hGpital emergency room3. Tho Commission fi€t b€came invotved with playground safety in 197,0, when a consumEr petation€d CPSC to develop mandatory saf€ty standards for public playground egulpm€nt. The Netlonal Rscroatlon and Part Asrociation (NRPA) war selected by the Commission to develop a draft standard. In 1976. when the N RPA drsft standard was completed, the Com- mi3sion contrscted with ths Natlonal Bureau of Standerds for addltlonal technical work n€€d6d to reyis€ tho NRPA recommend€d standerd. Because surfaca3 under equlpment epp€ar€d to play a major role in oquipment iFjuries' tho Commisslon atso asked NBS to develop a m€thod tor t€sting variou! gurfaceg commonly used under playground equipment The r€sult! of the NBS studi$ and research provide the basis for thl3 lwo-volume hand- book for publlc playground saferty. Whlle the Commisslon'g initial work was clearly oriontod toward developing mendatory sefety standards for equlpment, tho Commb. sion decid€d not to issuc guch a mandatory standard. O'ver th6yoars, its erraluatlon of play- ground safaty led the Commission to conclude that a mandatory specification rule by itsell would not adequately address th€ probl€m ot playground injurieo. Such tactors ar the dF vergo wa)€ oguipment ig used, the varying quality ot sup€rvFion on equipm€nt, squlp- mant plac€mont, and egulpment malntenanca all play a part In playground inlurlos. In addl- tlon, most inlurles assoclated with playground equipment involved falls, which would not be eddress€d by equipment specificatlons alone. The Comrnission believes, however, that the resultg of the studies and r6g68rch con- ducted by tho NRPA and NBS can s€rye ag guldcllnc. for the design of public playground equipment, and can be used by people in- volved with playground safety to help reduce the frequency and sev€rity ol injuries a$oci- ated with oquipment Technical rationale is provided to explain each guidellne. Theguide- lines arE not a CPSC atandard and ars not mandetory rcquirsmenb. Since the guidellnes are not a CPSC stand- erd, th€ Commission B not endorsing th€m as the exclusive method ol safe playground equipment construction. The Commlssion be lieves, how€ver, that the sat6ty features in many of the guidelines, such as tho$ address- ing protrusions, slip-resistant surfaces, dura- bility and stability, and so forth, will contributs to greatef equipmsflt safety, and that publlca- lion of the guidolines as a whola will promote greator saf€ty consciousness among manu- factur€B and purchasers of €quipmont. Ths guidelln€s are recommended for play- ground equipment intended for uge in play areas of parks, schools, institutions, multiplo lamily dwelllngs, prlvato r€sorts and recreatlon developments, and other areas of publlc insti- tutional usc. The guidelines are not intended to appty to amusement part equipment equip ment normally intended for sports' uss or to hom€ playground equipment Compononts ot squipment intendod solely tor us€ by th€ handicappsd and nscegsarily modifled to ac- commodete such users safoly ara elso not covsr€d by th€se guidelines. 3. Playground Infurler The Comml$lon bocemo concerned about the mt€ty of publlc playground equlp- menl atter rxamlnlng the number and klnds ol InJuriee acsoclated with uce of lh6 oqulpment.

Activitiea which involvs run- ning, walking, climbing, dodging, rwinglng' sllding, catching and throwing, or pulling and pushing, for example, h€lp childr€n learn to mow confid€ntly, gain muscle strength and control. and refins their coordination' Of oourse, many Playgrounds are used by differ- snt age grouPs whoss intere3ts and abilities vary greatly. To allow the spaca epproPriste lo both the child and th€ ac'tivity, theretors, 8om€ planners sot sside s€clions of the playground for gp€cial us8. For axample, playgrounds might include: . an op€n field lor ball games, tag, kit+flying' etc. wh6r6 childr€n will have the freedom to run without jeopardizing the safsty of others playing nearby; . an arga lor pre-school children, equipped wilh sppropriately sized swings, low slides, sand box6s, €tc.; . an epparatus araa for conventionsl play- ground equipment; o a free play area for activiti$ such as tether lonnis or hopscotch; . a paved, mullipl€ use arsa tor court gemeli' dancing, general play; . en ar€a tor quiet activttt€a or individual play such as art3 and crafts, music, drama, 3oli- tary gam€s; and r other option8 such as wading pools, shelter houses, and landscaped areas. Apart from the creative plsy opportunilies vvhlch thes€ special use areas can provide, the separation of play spaces will contribut€ to playground satety. Young children can b€ pro- tected from the more active Play of older chil- dren. Thought mey also ba givcn to 3oparete 5 bul adioinlng play arear tor hsndlcepp€d chlt- dren. Because of their disabilltiel, handl- capp€d children may recpond more slowly, either physically or mentally, to hazardous slt- uatlons. Some newer playgrounds have been d6sign6d to proyide actiylties which ail chil- dren can share, and €quipment which all can use safely and creallyely. No metter how pley arsas are organized, however, it ir essentlal to provide edequate space around 6ach pl€co of playground equip mont. Plenning 3hould take into account the eguipmenfs -u!€ zon6," that is, sny activity or moy€m€nt which can be ilp€cted around the €quipmont. For example, sufflci€nt spac6 should be allotted for swlng sets lo accommo. date the larged arc lhrough whlch the swing lrey€ls, Including a chlld's extended l€gs.

Equipment ghould also be arranged to ac- commodala tho treftlc of children at play. For example, playground apperatus should be plecad away from ball flelds or othcr ar6er where running chlldren, intant upon thsir gam€s, may accidentally move in front of swlngs, 6xit ar6a! of dldes, etc. Also, €qulp- m€nt should b€ placed so thet ons erea is nol oycrcrowdod while another area rerndns underusad.

The playground should be design€d to p€rmit mex- imum dralnage so it cen dry oul as quickly as possibl6. Whenever space and resourc€s p€rmit,con- sideration should be given to providing rest- room facilitias and pay telephonos with p€r- man€ntly po3ted em€rgoncy numbers.

Strength of Indlvldual Compo- nenb and Structuret Recommendation - Manutactur€rs should test their playground equipment to cletermin€ if it is strong enough for its intended us6. Th€ NBS has developed strength tests lhat can bo used lor playground equipment compo- nenl3 and supporling structures. NBS recom- m6nds that playground equipment when losted io accordance with tho$ tegt3 d+ scribsd in Paragraph 6.2, shoutd withstend the lp€citi€d loads. Ouring and afterth6 tssl there should be no visible crack or breakage of any component. There should be no other form ol permanent deformation ol any component that mey adv€r$ly aft€cl the structural integrity or safe uso of the equipmont. In th€ cai€ ot indi- vidual swing assemblies, hooks, 3hackles, rings and links should not open rflorathan on€. helt of thg cross sectional diametorot the com- pon€nt thal thsy aro intondecl to constrain. Sugg6tsd Telt Method - Maks sure thet tho equipmenl is assembled and in3telled in accordance with the accompanying instruc- tion!, or support€d in an oquivalent manner.

Several meetings have been held with ifrelgootn Creek residents to determine what type of play equipment should.be i"iLl.a in the playground- The site is'l ocated just to the south of Mann's Ranch Road and to the west of the two existing tennis courts on t'he park' At this time, the Town of VaiI staff and residents have no plans to further develop the park except for the playground. Three meetjngs have been held with the residents in the Booth Creek area. The staff is now at the stage where we know what the commun'i ty would'l ike to have on the site. The next itep wil'l be to take the proiect through Design Review Board and then make a final presentation to the Town Council and Vail Metropoiitan Recreation District. The staff wou'l d l'i ke to begin work on the p1 ayground as soon as possib'l e thjs spring. A survey (1:20 scale) and site plan (1:10 scale) are availab] e for your use- Aelow i-s in outline of the work that your cost estimates should cover: l-.A SiTE PLAN OF THE PROPOSED PL The purpose of the site Plan wi el ements of the playground. appreciate any recommendati ons Tne staff a] so has pictures of to locate in the playground. your design work. be to show re] ationshiPs among The staff has some general ideas the about where the different elements should be 'l ocated. However, we would that you may wish to make on the design- many of the el ements that we wou'l d like These p'i ctures wiII be very hel pfu1 in The area of the p] ayground is approximately 50' in wi<ith and .|00' in iength. Be.l ow is a- jist of the elements t-hat wi'l 'l make up the p1 ayground: b.? A ':cden climbing strLlrture: The c'l imbing structure is proposed ffioITlilest corner of ihe p'l ayground. An areaoi approximately 30' by 20' has been set aside for the climbing structure. The staff 1s envisioning a c1 imbing structure of several different leve] s with enclosed and open spaces. Residents suggested "the fort" idea as a theme for the climbing structure. The maximum height of the structure is 12 feet. The climbing structure has been located on this portion of the site due to the screening that is provided by existing trees on the southern edge of ihe playground. Sandbox: The sandbox is a 6 sided structure that is approximately l0 feet in width at its widest point. Murj Pie Table: The mud pie tab'l e is a small, 1ow table ;pF;illrnatell-: feet in width. It can be an irregular shape- The idea is to locate the mud oie table close to the sandbox and water fountain so children can create with the mud. Several little stunp-like seats wou'l d also be located around the table. (See staff pictures. ) A swinging structure that would have two tot swings and two adult swings: Most of the Town of Vail parks use a very standard structure for their swings. In this playground we would use the sane type of wooden structure for the swings as is used in Eighorn Park or Sandstone Park. Boulder groupings for c'l imbing: The staff is ab1 e to get a number of boulders from Andy Norris' project (llestin Hotel) to use for the playground. The bou'lders wou'l d be used as a climb'i ng area for children. The boulders could a'l so be combined in some way with the fort so that the fort would have a sense of being built into the rock. (See staff pictures. ) One six foot bench. d_ f. s.Path connect ions asking that you courts and bike a! ea as much as design 1ogical path connections to the path whiIe at the same time minimizing possible. staff is tenn is the path h.Site work: The s'i te p1an shouid also indicate edging for the FTavgrouna and the appropriate shape for the playground. Staff and residents would like to see the playground'1 ook as natural aspossible. Railroad ties and boulders are suggested as edging. No landscaping is proposed at this time due to budget constraints. A resident has donated one 20 foot pine tree for landscaping. If we have more money in the future, we would be able to add the appropriate landscaping at that time. A grading plal: The site is very close to the configuration that would be useful for the p1 ayground.However, a very simple grac!ing plan wi'l I be helpfu'l to the Town of Vail construction crews who wi'l I actually complete the project. iI SKETCH DESIGNS The staff 1s asking that the consultant provide sketch designs of thefort, boulder grouping arrangement, sandbox and mud tab.l e. These sketches wl'l 'l be used to explain to the Design Review Board, Town Councjl and construction crew the general idea of what we would like tobuild. These drawings do not need to be at a construction documentlevel- The Town of Vail's construction crew will actually be responsib1e for construction detailing. I will hope to hear from you as soon as possible. I would like to make the lvlay2lst DRB meeting, however I know that is pushing it- It will not be n"."ssary-for you to make presentations to the council, vail l''letropolitan RecreationDistrict, or Design Review Board. However, I think at least one sjte vjsjt wi 'l I be_ hel pf u'l to you 'i n your desi gn work. Perhaps shari ng trave'l wj th Bob and Leslie cou'l d work! Our budget for the project is $'l 0,000. Our intent is to use as much of this money as possible for the actual constructjon of the playground- However, we do realize that design drawings are an important part of ihe process.

Several meetings have been he] d withthe Booth creek residents to determine what type of play equipment shou'ld be Iocated in the pl ayground. The site is located just to the south of Mann,s Ranch Road and to the west of the two existlng tennis courts on the park. Atthis time, the Town of Vail staff and residents have no plans to further developthe park except for the playground. Three meetings have been held with the residents in the Booth Creek area. Thestaff is now at the stage where we know what the community would'l ike to have onthe site- The next step will be to take the project through Design Review Board and then make a final presentation to the Town Counci] . The staff would like to begin work on the playground as soon as possible this spring. I am asking that you give our department a cost estimate for the site p1 an and sketch draw'i ngs. A survey (l:20 scale) and site ptan (1:.|0 scale) are availablefor your use. Below is an outline-of the work that your cost estimates should cover: I. A SITE PLAN OF llE PROPOSED PLAYGR0UND AT A SCALE 0F't" = 10'. The area length. ---- Below is a list of the elements that will make up the playground: a.A wooden c'l imbins structure: The c'l imbing structure is proposed to be 'l ocated on the soufhwest corner of the playground. An area of approximately 30' by 20' has been set aside for the climbingstructure. The staff is envisioning a climbing structure ofseveral different leve'l s with enclosed and open spaces. Residents suggested "the fort" idea as a theme for the c1 .imbing structure. The maximum height of the structure js 12 feet. The climbing structure has been located on this portjon of the site due to the screening that is provided by existing trees on the southern edgeof the playground. b. Sendhgl: The sandbox is a 6 sjded structure that is approxinatelymTeet in width at 'its widest point. c. Mud Pie Table: The mud pie table js a smalI, 1ow tab'l e approximately 5' in width. It can be an irregu'l ar shape. The ideais to ]ocate the nud pie table close to the sandbox and water fountain so children can create with the mud. Several little stump '| ike seats would also be located around the table. (See staff pi ctures. ) d. A lwinqing structure that would have two tot swings and two adultswings: Most of the Town of Vail parks use a very standard structure for thejr swings. In this playground we wou'l d use the same type of wooden structure for the swings as is used in Bighorn Park or Sandstone Park. e. Boulder groupings for climbing: The staff is able to get a numberof boulders from Andy Norris' project to use for the playground. The bou'l ders would be used as a climbing area for children. The boulders cou'l d also be comb'i ned in some way with the fort so that the fort would have a sense of being bujlt into the rock. (Seestaff pictures. ) f. One six foot bench. S. Path connections to tennis courts and bike path: The staff is asking that you design logical path connections to the tennis courts and b'i ke path while at the same time minjmizing the path area as much as possible. h. Site Wotk: The site plan should also indicate edging for the FiaySround and the appropriate shape for the playground. Staff would like to see the p'layground look as natural as possjble. Railroad ties and boulders are suggested as edging. No landscaping is proposed at this tjme due to budget constrajnts. A resjdent has donated one 20 foot pine tree for landscap'ing. l.le would appreciate suggestions on landscaping. If we have more moneyin the future, we would be able to add the appropriate landscapingat that time. i. A grading plan: The site is very close to the configuration that would be useful for the playground. However, a very simple grading plan will be he'l pful to the Town of Vail construction crews whowill actually complete the project. The purpose of the site plan will be to show relationships among the elements of the playground. The staff has some general jdeas about where the different elements should be located. However, we would appreciate any recomnendations that the consu'l tant may wishto make on the design. The staff also has pictures of many of the elenents that we would l ike to locate in the playground. Thesepictures wjl'l be very helpful in your design work. II. SKETCH DESIGNS The staff is asking that the consultant provide sketch designs of thefort, boulder grouping arrangement, sandbox and mud table. These sketches will be used to explajn to the Design Review Board, Towncouncil, as well as the construction crew the general idea of what wewould like to build. These drawings do not need to be at a conscruction document level . The Town of Vai'l 's construction crew will actually beresponsible for construction detail ing. I would like to receive a letter from your firm stating your fee for thisproject. I would like to have the project completed bv April 14, 1996. youwjll not be asked to make presentations at the Design Review Board or the Towncouncil. Our budget for the project is $10,000. Our intent js to use as muchof this money as possible for the actual construction of the playground. Howeven, we do realize that design drawings are an important part-of theprocess. I would appreciate receiving your cost estimate letter by March 21 , 1986. Ifyou feel you need more information about the project, I would be happy to go over any of the issues outlined in this'l etter. Thank you for your interest in the project.

Thcy raised more than 530,0001" Applause broke out and people began signing up for volunteer committees. leanwhile, a rhousand miles to the lvest, Ilfount Vernon. Iowa-atop a hill, rvith a population of 3,500, including 1,100 studenrs ar Cornell College-was out to prove that a community really could build its orvn superplayground. Leathers had blorvn in the previous September, staying with a local fanriiy ro cut the community's cosrs. He had met rvith students, designed playgrounds for Washington Elementary School and Ifount \ternon iVliddle School. rvhipped r.ro enthusiasm and buzzed out of the nearby Cedai i{apid's airporr, leaving precise guidelines for committees to be formed, money to be raised, and materials and tools to be begged, borrowed or, only as a last resort, bought. Project coordinatorJackie lvfartin, a preschool teacher and author of children's books, and fellow volunteers found themselves responsible for making two commu- nity playgrounds happen. "I'm from Nleredith Wllson's hometown, Mason City, Iorva, which he called River Ciq in The Music Man, and,I couldn't help thinking thar Bob Leathers is a lot like Professor Harold Hill in the musical, stir- ring up everyone in torvn," Superinrendent of Schools Adrian Ringold pointed out. "Bob Leathers was such a dynamo," Carol Dillard added, "you could almost hear those 76 trombones!" Over the winter, l\fount Vernon's playground en- thusiasts dug in.
