Mak(l sure that there are enough pavilions of different sizes, uses and locations to accommodate different types of uses, (Corporate picnics, family outings, etc...) 3. Parking- discussions of adding parking within the park to encouroge more use: - angled parking parallel to Collins Ave. but inside the fenced area of the pork - angled parking along the North Property line - parking lot in the middle of the park (at 85th Street) - enhance crosswalks from lots across the street, and make entries to park clearly visible and inviting. 4. Is using Coconut Palms appropriate in a natural area with natives? Can native palms be used instead? . 5. Use of volunteers to help maintain and run park facilities to keep costs down. 6. Will there be a dog park? 7. Possibility of a restaurant. Discussion of a restaurant at Altos del Mar instead, 8. Playgrounds: - try to use "naturalistic" equipment and colors to blend in with the Nature Center theme. - reduce number of playgrounds to two, 9. Provide fresh waterfor wildlife. 10. Study the inclusion of a tidal pool (like Matheson Hammock)' 1 1. Separate Nature Center from Maintenance Yard.
