Let’s not pave and develop any more of our valuable green space. Payne Park is a green treasure in the middle of a city that is overdeveloped. There is NO intrinsic value to putting a concert hall and parking lot in the middle of our public park!!!

I oppose having the Sarasota Orchestra plan to build a concert hall and parking lot in Payne Park. There are other places that are better suited for the Orchestra.

Please do not sell land that makes up Payne park. We want to keep as much green open space as possible. It's what makes this city attractive to live in.

Payne park is an active area were citizens can participate in healthy activities such as tennis. The natural habitat for so many birds is also important.
There are other places that would work out equally well for a concert hall.

Great cities have always preserved their parks...for health, good air, and the general good of their citizens. Sarasota is becoming overbuilt and saving Payne Park for its intended uses is critical. The orchestra can find other great places to be situated, including in the area near the van Wezel, keeping that area vibrant as a cultural center.

It is shock to me that the city is considering to turn down a park to build a hall. I love the arts and I am a supporter of the Orchestra, but damaging the beautiful Oasis we have downtown is just criminal. I am against this plan and i will not support it in anyway.

Please do NOT change Payne Park by adding some huge building ( Even though I love the Sarasota arts programs). It was deeded to the town for ALL the people to enjoy, young and old, not for a “select “ (!?) few. I love the opera and concerts but not to the detriment of part of the Sarasota population for whom this terrain was given.

This park is very special to many. So many enjoy this park and it’s where children go to escape this terrible world. There is no other park like this close near by. I ask to please keep this park open for everyone to enjoy, create memories, and feel safe.
