I have been a resident of laurel park for more than 20 years, Payne Park is a landmark of downtown and our neighborhood please preserve it like the Payne family wanted when they donated the land.

I support the continued use of this park as a GREEN SPACE, as the Paynes intended it to be used.

Downtown needs an non developed area. Sarasota obviously wants to become a metropolis (quite obvious from the massive construction going around which I think is awful). Every large city still has green areas which are important to the health of a city’ members. My kids have all played at Payne Park when they were little and my 12 y/o still skateboards there. Don’t destroy it!!

It’s unbelievable that the city would consider getting rid of this skatepark. It’s such a unique asset to the community! I was traveling around southern Florida and couldn’t find a skatepark as nice as Payne Park. Please do not get rid of this park!!!

Preserve Payne Park! This open space is more than ever essential to the health and well being of downtown Sarasota - the city and its citizens.

Once we take back open land, it can never be replaced. Please don't take away the little open land we have downtown. I love the Orchestra but it can go anywhere.

This park is beautiful. There are many places in town that aren't so beautiful that would make a great location for the new concert hall.

You want to take the little greenery we have left in a city with a developers paradise of millions of new buildings going up-you see the backlash of this terrible idea to build at Payne Park -You’re being very unkind to the environment as well!!!!!!!
