Proposed North Apache Trail City Park Dear Mayor Insalaco and Council Members, We would like to suggest some ideas for discussion: Grade the park to include rolling hills and dells, Perhaps construct a rock garden Park users could follow a trail to a vantage point on top with a view of the Superstitions. Minimize grass areas Utilize drought tolerant, low water-usage vegetation. Plant as many desert trees as possible. Build an ADA compliant trail around the park's perimeter that follows a meandering arroyo with small pools. The park could be graded to drain all or most rain water into the arroyo The arroyo could then flow into a small retention pond. Add boulders around arroyo,pools and the pond for a natural look. Plant native trees and vegetation around the pond,the arroyo and the trail. include informational plaques by the plants, Ask AJ K-12 students to submit ideas Use local nurseries for plant type consultation and for purchase. (Shady Way Gardens?) Allow volunteers to participate in the construction and/or planting operations. Build a fenced playground in a location away from roadway traffic Install picnic ramadas Maybe a few larger ones could be reserved I rented for day use events. Build a covered performance stage surrounded by tiered berms Spectators could bring their own lawn chairs or blankets for seating. Include a dance area by the stage Keep pavement to a minimum. Build a vehicle parking lot along North Apache roadway, Prohibit motorized traffic in the park Install restrooms for park users, We realize space is limited for the proposed park. Will the current plans incorporate the possibility of acquiring additional adjacent acreage in the future? Thank you for your consideration of these ideas.
