During the recent Parks, Recreation and Forestry Board meeting in Waukesha, discussions centered on the design revisions for a new park project, highlighting community feedback and concerns about the proposed playground features.

A board member expressed the need for further revisions to the park design, emphasizing that while some community suggestions were incorporated, the overall appeal of the design had diminished. The member pointed out that the design favored in earlier discussions had lost its charm, raising questions about the value of the investment in the park.

The board member stressed the importance of maximizing the quality of the playground, suggesting that if significant funds are allocated for this project, the community deserves the best possible outcome. They specifically mentioned the inclusion of a notable feature, the 360 slide, but questioned whether the overall design offered enough variety or innovation to justify the expenditure.

This discussion reflects broader concerns within the community about ensuring that public investments in recreational spaces meet the expectations and needs of residents. As the board continues to refine the park's design, the emphasis on community input and quality will likely remain a focal point in future meetings.
