1. Good soccer fields

   with soccer as popular as it is, it would be nice to have fields that weren't full of holes and in poor shape (it's hard on the kids ankles!).

2. Malcom Park

   The rec center had Tee-ball held there this past summer and there are no bathrooms. Try having little kids in tee-ball and no restrooms. Either they should add one or not play any games at that...

   The rec center had Tee-ball held there this past summer and there are no bathrooms. Try having little kids in tee-ball and no restrooms. Either they should add one or not play any games at that part. Also the field in which they play is now nice grass but green thorny weeds. Also not a good idea for little kids. Good thing they rarely hit the ball that far.

   I use the Recreation Center almost daily. There is normally an influx of users after the new year that lasts about 3 weeks. That influx doesn't seem to be going down at all. If anything, it is going up. The way people exercise is changing. People are getting into kettlebells, and CrossFit, and exercise programs that aren't based on using a machine. These types of exercise programs take up more room. Room the Rec Center doesn't have. Even if one didn't take these changes into account, if you go into the weight room or cardio area in the evening, you will see the facility is reaching it's capacity.

   There is very little maintaining done on existing parks. Last year the weeds at Benedict were taller than the benches by the canal. You couldn't even sit on the bench because the thistles were 4 feet high and coming up through the bench seat. We have a ball field at Dewey Strong that has no backstop, hasn't been drug in two years, and has goatheads all over the field. When a ball rolls across it and you pick it up, it has stickers all over it. When I told Gary Wardle about it, the next week they just sprayed the weeds. There's no water source for the sand volleyball court there. This is Colorado, it's sunny and sand is hot...and needs to be cooled down to play. Oh yeah...where are the league's? Why build the court if you don't hold some kind of league? Our park system is a joke. The soccer fields are the worst in the entire metro area. You can verify this by going to Google earth and looking at aerial shots. We build new parks but don't maintain existing ones.

   Would love to know when the city plans to build/finish the park at 5192 Thistle Dr in the Brighton Crossing Neighborhood (surrounded by Redbud St, Royal Pine St, Chicory Cir, and Thistle Dr)....builder said it should have been done last year and assured us that it would be worked on as soon as the weather improved this year but still nothing has been done. There aren't any parks close but are a lot of kids who need a place to go play in the neighborhood
