Request:
I would encourage the City of Newark, California to consider offering better playground / outdoor options for the Grand Park in the Bayside TOD than that are currently in the proposed Willow / FMC project.
For example:
- Multi use sports field - for Cricket and Soccer (not only Soccer)
- Splashpads for kids
Background:
a. Given that a large number of residents in Bayside are from Indian subcontinent, would it be possible to get a cricket pitch in the middle and some striping on the sides of the Grand Park or Parcel F park (close to the transit station)
b. Given that a large number of residents in Bayside have young kids, it will be great to have a Splashpad area close to us for summers. Currently families have to visit neighboring cities to access summer splashpads. Splashpads recirculate the same water and tend to be very drought efficient installations as can been seen by a lot of neighboring cities having similar facilities in place.

Reaching this point has been a long and draining process that makes the current momentum feel earned rather than given. Seeing this much backing for a real community space reminds me why I started this fight in the first place.

PLEASE add a splashpad. My kids are dying for something like that close to home during the hot summer months.
Multi use fields are the way to go. Kids need space to run around and play soccer too.
A cricket pitch would be amazing for the community. Lots of us would use it constantly.
YES. Totally agree with needing a cricket pitch. It makes no sense driving all the way to other cities just to play.
Yes we need better sports accommodations for residences as well as water sports.
Fully support this initiative
Vote for better facilities and ground to accommodate cricket and soccer

Bayside needs more than just a small patch of grass. We need real sports fields for the families living here.
