Lincoln High and other schools have access to lower woodland fields. They just need priority for use. The neighborhood and community utilize Wallingford park for multi-use multiple age groups including day care age children for no cost. Save the Park.

We rely on access to this park for our toddler son to have safe outside time exploring within walking distance. Having a space like this nearby is critical for coordination, strength building, etc during critical development years.

Keep Wallingford park for the Wallingford community. This is our local gathering place and a part of what makes our neighborhood feel connected and special. I’ve met many neighbors and new friends at this park and would be very sad to see it taken away from free play.

The turf field heats up really badly in the summer and is not pleasant to be on. It also gases petroleum vapors (in the heat) since the filler material is shredded rubber. We live in Wallingford, and we go to the park every day. We do not want this change!

The more I read the more I think a different location is preferable for the Lincoln HS sports field. My child starts at Lincoln next year and we live in the neighborhood nevertheless I think the Queen Anne location or the parking lot next to Lincoln are better choices.

Many families rely on this park and playground for play and activities with their children, mine included. Dropping in a giant turf field would disrupt the community, not enrich or benefit the majority. Keep the space natural grass and multiuse.

This is not the right area for turf. This transformation would be sad for the community.

Preserve the park for all.
