My young grandson plays in this park every week. It is precious green space to be preserved.

We have been here before! Leave it the way it was meant to be! There was a trailer park for years that was turned into a park due to the original deed. Do the right thing here, and leave it as a community park. As far as Sarasota Orchestra goes, they can find a different place. Perhaps that should have been considered in the new bay front plans???

Sarasota is losing its quaint appeal and turning into another concrete hodgepodge. And our natural environment is being threatened. Wouldn't others be discouraged from donating land to Sarasota if you go against the intent of the will?

I am opposed to have this wonderful green space taken over by the Sarasota Orchestra. There is ample space at the Roberts Arena. Please preserve this space.

What's wrong with the van wasel? We don't need anything bigger or more grander than what we have! We waited years for Payne park to be finally finished for our kids!! Its bad enough the young ones have very little action going on for them in this town....their idea of fun will soon be running up and down elevators in 5 star hotels if not already! This park has only been established for about 10 years ....yea yea I know only a portion of the park is wanted for this bs but still not one blade of grass should be harmed ....its a beautiful vast park! If anything the park should have upgrades , additional park related amenities or having more community functions but your not taking the park property and putting a concert hall there!!!! GO AWAY YOU SNOTTY SNOOTY BASTERDS!!

Enough is enough.....our wildlife is already upset by all the building and tearing down of the habitats!!!! There should be a limit as to how much construction can be allowed .

60 year old srq native and longtime user of the park. I play tennis there weekly and walk dog in ark every Sunday. Unthinkable to pave over public park and wetlands for a music venue only used by a few wealthy residents whom many are probably part time. Do the right thing and put it somewhere else!

Please preserve wonderful Payne Park just as it is today. The Sarasota Orchestra should be part of the Bayfront development plan.
