Option #6 for the Lamson park design provides far more "play value" than the other options.

"Play value refers to the usability of any environmental features or play areas as a setting for play, generating diverse play opportunities and experiences that suit various children’s needs, motivations and abilities." UAB News 7/2015

"...parks with high play value draw children and young people to visit, and also provide opportunities for a variety of play activities, including allowing children to adapt park elements for their own play purposes and support free exploration. These characteristics of parks entice children and young people to return time and again for repeat visits."UAB News 7/2015

"On the other hand, parks with low play value have physical and social barriers for play activities. Such park environments serve only limited play purpose, with static rather than dynamic features of play equipment, and do not support children’s daily requirements for physical activity."UAB News 7/2015

The town of Weston is at a crossroads of sorts. We should take advantage of this once in a generation opportunity to create a park that will benefit our children, our local businesses, and our community. We don't want a rehash of the outdated Tavernside Park.

If you agree that Weston is a truly exceptional town deserving of an exceptional park please join me in this petition.

*The vote is scheduled for Thursday, Oct 1st @6:30 Community Center / Recreation building. It would be great to have support present since it is feared some commissioners might need a gentle reminder about what was actually said at the public hearing.

THUMBS UP OPTION #6!
