I've been really busy lately, but... I really wanted to be involved in the meeting today. Probably too late now

I think we wrote down some of the stuff I said I wanted at the last meeting in the Market.

Fenced in with *one* entrance and exit.
Creative shading for the equipment and total shading for the seating/eating areas.
Equipment that is safe for children under 5. (Seperate units for 2-5 and 5-12 ranges)
It would also be nice to have a toddler (under 2 area like they have at the Destin park).
High visibility throughout the playground. Open design.
Tire swing (I loved those as a kid).
A water feature, not necessarily right away, but eventually.
I would like to avoid sand and use either Poured-In surfacing or something like Forever Lawn. I'm not a fan of loose fill (tire chunks, wood chips, sand, etc..) because it can hide things like broken glass.
Swings!
A safer version of a see-saw, like the one in the Playmore catalog.
Water fountains, low enough to little guys.
Good clean restrooms with a changing table and those little seats that hang on the wall to strap the toddlers in

Thanks for all the great ideas! Keep them coming. We need to put a prioritized list together.

Three of us met with Cindy Meadows today and the meeting went grayt. She is extremely supportive and gave us a lot of hope that we could have something by the end of the year. We'll put together the notes and post them when we have more time. Got to go pick up the daughter from softball!

SWCPP South Walton Community Park Parents? with or without parents.
If we say moms, I don't want to exclude any potential help from any dads.
What if people want to help who don't have kids? Maybe SWCPP: South Walton Community Park People!

What about a theme for the park?

We just found a very cute climbing structure in the catalog Cindy gave us. Three slides form a foot! What if we had a foot prints theme through out the park, have foot prints instead of hand prints for potential donors if we need them, The poem Footprints in the Sand as a plaque somewhere, I think the boy scout creed says something about footprints regarding taking care of parks? A lot of feet will walk through this park! Somebody run with this please and start your creative juices flowing. This slide is adorable!
