The Parks and Recreation Bond Oversight Committee meeting held on August 28, 2025, focused on community engagement and design proposals for local parks, particularly the BART project. The design team presented two concepts that align with community goals, with one design emerging as the clear favorite during public consultations.

During the meeting, it was highlighted that the preferred design incorporates both native plants and bluegrass, maintaining the park's usability for activities like football and Frisbee. Community feedback was integral to this process, as residents expressed a desire for a balance between natural landscaping and recreational space.

The committee also reminded attendees that an online survey regarding the BART project remains open until September 2. Community members are encouraged to participate by scanning QR codes posted in the neighborhood. The results of this survey will be shared at the next Oversight Committee meeting in September, ensuring that community input continues to shape the development of local parks.

Following the discussion on BART, the meeting transitioned to updates on the Cushing project, indicating ongoing efforts to enhance recreational spaces in Englewood City. The committee's commitment to community involvement and feedback remains a priority as they move forward with these initiatives.
