The residents of the Oak Creek Park in Morgan hill, CA do not want an off-leash dog park or water feature in our neighborhood. We also do not want any of the current grass areas to be reduced in favor of a larger picnic area or "shrubs". We propose that the grass areas remain intact. We would like the grass area to be properly maintained and bare spots seeded to accommodate the current use.

im still hearing from neighbors every day who want to keep our green space exactly how it is. i have been emailing with the parks department to make sure they know we arent interested in a dog park or any of those extra features.

seeing this kind of momentum means our neighbors really do care about keeping the park the way it is. i am honestly floored by the response and it shows that we arent alone in wanting to protect our green space.

The Oak Creek neighborhood is already subjected to heavy traffic flow by residents on Native Dancer using the neighborhood streets to cut through to Watsonville Rd. There are a lot of young families and small children in this neighborhood and traffic is already an issue. Placing a dog park and water features here would compound the problem even further putting residents safety at risk. Our streets cannot accommodate an increase in cars and traffic that would likely result. I would like to see the the facilities we do have be maintained better. Re-seed the grass and make improvements to the existing basketball and tennis courts. It's a wonderful park the way it is!

This neighborhood could not accommodate parking and with a lot of kids in the neighborhood, it would be dangerous with more cars coming through. A dog park, water feature and extended picnic area are bad ideas for a neighborhood like this. This will create more littering, theft and traffic in a small neighborhood. Who would be held accountable for all these things not if they occur but when they occur.

I like the efforts of making enhancements to Oak Creek Park but i do not see the current proposed changes as enhancememts. I live in the Oak Creek Park neighborhood and do not want to see a water feature placed with the growing concerns of water conservation. I also do not want to see a dog park go up when there is an existing dog park about 1 mile away. I also do not want to see the open space of grass get eliminated, I see constant use of this space by the neighborhood kids and families.

This is not a good idea whatsoever ! Keep the dog park on the property where it is now and keep our kids and grand kids safe without added congestion.

No dog park! We do not want more strangers (to our young children) and traffic in our wonderful neighborhood. Additionally, there will probably be an increase in fleas, etc and this causes problems for the families with dogs that do live here and want to walk their dogs in their own neighborhood. We do not take our dogs to dog parks because of the injuries that can occur and the potential infestations. There is no need for another dog park in Morgan Hill, especially here in this residential neighborhood.
