20 We recently got a dog and take him to swim in the Bay. Jul 9, 2013 11:54 AM

21 too crowded weekends, impossible to walk or find somewhere to sit. Weekendsare NOT for locals anymore.

Jul 9, 2013 8:37 AM

22 kids prefer newer playground areas Jul 8, 2013 8:20 PM

23 We used to live in Wasaga Beach and came in once or twice a week to go to thepark. Wasaga Beach became less dog friendly so we moved away from there toCollingwood. Now we go to Sunset almost daily.

26 It's close enough to my current home for a leisurely stroll most summer eveningsand an occasional walk to Sobeys or Hurontario Street any time of year.

Jul 6, 2013 6:34 PM

27 Weather is better now but even in the winter I visit Sunset on a weekly basis Jul 6, 2013 6:57 AM

28 Have moved into Collingwood recently Jul 6, 2013 6:01 AM

Jul 4, 2013 11:38 PM

35 I have children and it is the only park in town that is located centrally that is largeenough to accomodate both my kids ages and stages.

Jul 4, 2013 6:07 PM

36 I have two young children Jul 3, 2013 7:50 AM

37 Usually very crowded with limited parking .. Jul 3, 2013 4:25 AM

38 Visit mostly in summer and fall. Not often in winter. Jul 3, 2013 4:04 AM

39 Recently relocated here Jul 2, 2013 4:59 PM

40 I visit more in the summer. The water level is down so I won't be swimming thereas much.

Jul 2, 2013 8:44 AM

41 It's sheer beauty Jul 2, 2013 7:04 AM

42 access to water and views of georgian bay - also for beach volleyball Jul 2, 2013 5:45 AM

43 It's a mess, should have sand trucked in for a beach area, boulders removedfrom the water to make it a nice place to visit.

Jul 1, 2013 10:15 PM

44 Now have children! Jul 1, 2013 8:38 AM

45 Not warm enough Jul 1, 2013 7:41 AM

46 I have two small children who love the park. But it has not been updated sinse Iwas a small child. We go to a newer private park which we really arent supposedto use. Collingwood has 0 new public parks! Some kind of a splash pad would benice too!

61 take my grandson there when he comes to visit on weekends. Jun 25, 2013 1:18 PM

62 In the winter months less as the wind can be bitterly cold blowing across the Bayas well as the park equipment being inaccessible to my young children.

Jun 25, 2013 10:04 AM

63 1) I am a windsport enthusiast and use the park for water access. 2) My childrenare 5-8 and appreciated the play areas.

Jun 25, 2013 7:56 AM

64 We use the park daily however in the winter, access is difficult. Path should beplowed.

122 Only would visit when we have guests with children as we live on the water Jun 20, 2013 4:57 PM

123 Working closer to the Park, so I often spend lunch breaks there. Jun 20, 2013 2:15 PM

124 I bring my dog to swim...always on her leash. When the bays warms we'll bethere almost daily for the season. Not sure what "in the past means."

Jun 20, 2013 1:59 PM

125 More with my son, who has just turned 3 years old. It is our favourite park to visitfor the playground (big & shaded), access to the water, large greenspace to run /play.

Jun 20, 2013 1:44 PM

126 I used to live in the immediate area and visted the park daily. Moved away Jun 20, 2013 1:42 PM

127 love being by the water, enjoying waterfront Jun 20, 2013 1:35 PM

128 Lived closer to the park back then Jun 20, 2013 1:07 PM

129 When water levels were higher and swimming accessible. Now with dogs it is not

possible to let them swim anywhere on waterfront without risking hefty fines...Ironic when people aren't using it all or very much. Parking is dangerous forcyclists and pedestrians... Should be safer for children between play area andwaterfront..

Jun 20, 2013 1:06 PM

130 no interest in going there Jun 20, 2013 12:57 PM

11 No designated dog area for swimming. Let's face it, everyone who has a dogand brings them down to the water, let's them swim. This is a reality. Let'sdesignate an area and we'll all feel comfortable when we visit the park. The parkshould be utilized by everyone.

14 litter little designated space for larger groups Jul 11, 2013 6:45 AM

15 At the back of playground. - kids can run directly to pretty river parkway ... Safetyconcern

Jul 10, 2013 5:15 PM

16 Please do not create excess parking, that will attract a carnival atmosphere andmore travelling city groups that overrun the park

Jul 10, 2013 7:54 AM

17 The park is terrible. This should be the main park in town, and yet the facilitiesare the worst I've seen. The town needs to upgrade the park to make it on par orbetter than others. You can have recycled components if that's the goal, but thispark looks like scrap.

Jul 10, 2013 6:39 AM

18 Traffic calming overall is required. The corner of Niagara and St. Lawrenceneeds a stop sign in both directions and a proper crossing marked from theNiagara sidewalk terminus to the Park.

Jul 9, 2013 12:42 PM

19 Bicycles + skate boarders rule the park. Pedestrians are NOT safe. SunsetPoint is a beach and waterfront park. NOT a cyclist speedway.

Jul 9, 2013 8:37 AM

20 Playground equipment is very dated and not good for smaller children. Jul 8, 2013 8:20 PM

23/804 of 9


like they're supposed to. Most people are ok, but sometimes they'll run you rightoff the path.

22 Access to water at black rock is somewhat dangerous. climbing down over thelarge block stones is not good

Jul 7, 2013 6:38 AM

23 Dogs not on leashes and cyclists not being considerate of pedestrians. The roadis wide enough for cyclist to ride on it - on either side.When there was a markedlane for cyclists no one used it!

Jul 6, 2013 6:34 PM

24 No, the park is well maintained -the gardens & grounds are lovely, the garbage isemptied regularly - the beach is natural.

Jul 6, 2013 6:57 AM

25 Access to the water at the west end of the park is difficult for an older personwith bad knees or carrying a bunch of beach stuff. I have to clamber down astone wall. More ramp access down to the water please. (I note that there is aprovision for this in the plan)

29 road needs repaving and all parking areas Jul 5, 2013 5:47 AM

30 The Enviro park is in serious need of a makeover! I have been taking my twinsto Sunset Point in the warmer months often since they were babies (4 yearsnow). Even over the last four years the park has fallen into noticeable disrepair.The structures seem unsafe the swings are the only area of easy enjoyment.The last time we were there, there were a number of injuries from kids becauseof equipment combined with a child's normal reference for play equipment.

Jul 4, 2013 11:38 PM

31 The playground equipment is out of date and dangerous. I can't tell you howmany heads have been bonked on those metal rods at the top of every entry toequipment and every slide opening.

Jul 4, 2013 6:07 PM

32 There is limited water access due to the low levels, but still, no encouragementto use the water

Jul 3, 2013 4:25 AM

33 Walkways should be wider, needs bicycle racks. Jul 3, 2013 4:04 AM

34 The playground needs considerable updating with new features. It is looking oldand is boring for the kids.

Jul 2, 2013 8:41 AM

35 Lack of BBQ's also the picknic tables need work. Jul 2, 2013 7:04 AM

36 Needs a beach Jul 2, 2013 7:04 AM

37 It used to be a nice place to spend an afternoon, children could swim in thewater or play on the beach area...I may be speaking about 20 or so years agobut NOTHING has been done to make it a family favorite.

38 The Enviropark is dated and in poor repair. There are few areas for shade in theplayground and in the green area. A fairly busy road separates the playgroundfrom the washrooms and the rest of the park.

Jul 1, 2013 8:38 AM

39 Park needs to be updated. Looks very junky and covered in graffiti Jul 1, 2013 5:33 AM

40 Need designated bbq area Jul 1, 2013 4:03 AM

41 potholes at the furthest east parking lot. Jun 30, 2013 9:50 AM

42 The play ground is often littered with garbage and cigarette butts. Thebasketball court is uneven. The playground is in need of a paint job at the veryleast. The equipment is old, and it all looks very worn

Jun 29, 2013 4:29 PM

43 separate human swimmers from doggy swimmers Jun 28, 2013 11:00 AM

44 Water is too low Jun 28, 2013 7:52 AM

45 receeding water levels. Jun 27, 2013 12:37 PM

46 Parking. Large groups occupying large spaces. State of drive to the north of theWater Plant. Garbage strewn amongst the armour stone/rocks.

Jun 27, 2013 12:33 PM

47 Envrio Park could use some updating/facelift. Having to walk across the road toaccess washroom facillities.

Jun 27, 2013 10:25 AM

48 Abuse of the park by large family groups visiting from out of town who move andmonopolize picnic tables, monopolize fixed benches and chose not to use theavailable garbage containers - preferring to leave everything on the grass.Significant numbers of dogs running free at the main swimming beach (BlackRock) where the greater number of young children are swimming.

Jun 27, 2013 9:25 AM

49 There is no wheel chair accessability to get down to the water. The unevenconcrete barrier is dangerous for people to walk along.

Jun 27, 2013 7:14 AM

50 There is no access to the water for seniors. The large cement blocks arebreaking up and have become a safety issue. They need replaced for betteraccess and safety .

Jun 27, 2013 7:13 AM

51 To many bikes on the trail speeding. Eliminate motorized scooters on the trail. Jun 26, 2013 8:50 AM

52 parts of st lawrence rd are too wide; also may people dont obey 30km maxspeed zone; playground needs to be updated

Jun 26, 2013 6:43 AM

53 No venders Jun 26, 2013 6:20 AM

54 High speed autos on St Lawerence. High speed bikes on trails. Jun 26, 2013 5:35 AM

55 Need better beach area. Jun 26, 2013 4:33 AM

56 access to washrooms Jun 25, 2013 6:28 PM

57 some of the paths could be better Jun 25, 2013 5:28 PM


25/806 of 9


58 lacking dog friendly/off leash area. Outdated play equipment. More eventsshould be held at Sunset Point Park.

Jun 25, 2013 1:35 PM

59 The lack of safety crossing the road from the Environment Park to thewashrooms.

Jun 25, 2013 10:04 AM

60 Yes the roads are in terrible shape, need repaving badly, Also the basketballcourt needs to be repaved and fixed with new baskets, etc,

Jun 25, 2013 7:24 AM

61 There is a need for more shade either via more trees or picnic sheltersthroughout the park. Glaring flood lights ruin the night time atmosphere

Jun 25, 2013 7:13 AM

62 Bury the hydro wires along the street. They are old and messy looking. Repairthe street (pavement) Keep the rest as is.

Jun 25, 2013 6:40 AM

63 More seating areas Jun 25, 2013 5:54 AM

64 Old playground. Jun 25, 2013 5:48 AM

65 no Jun 24, 2013 5:40 PM

66 Need more parking. Playground needs updating. Shoreline needs to bebulldozed and sand added. Would be nice to have a sit down restaurant to enjoythe views and sunset!

Jun 24, 2013 5:21 PM

67 no access to washrooms in winter months Jun 24, 2013 3:10 PM

68 garbage strewn around after weekends, especially long weekends Jun 24, 2013 2:54 PM

69 No enforcement of dog waste pick up Jun 24, 2013 2:42 PM

70 1.vehicular traffic through the Enviro Park& risk to children 2. waste space northof filtration plant--ruts; potholes, etc 3.on street parking on St Lawrence at thewest end of the park--road is too narrow for this

Jun 24, 2013 2:40 PM

71 Volume of traffic between the Enviro Park and the water needs to be "calmed."Secondly, the Enviro Park needs to be updated.

Jun 24, 2013 1:56 PM

72 Public washrooms do not open before 8:30 a.m. I am usually at the park at 7:00a.m. Garbage in the park after a summer weekend

Jun 24, 2013 1:09 PM

73 Very tired. Lawerence st needs redoing at the east end Jun 24, 2013 1:07 PM

74 Poor road Jun 24, 2013 10:50 AM

75 The crossing at the Enviropark. Too much parking in the greenspace. Jun 24, 2013 10:49 AM

76 Playground equipment needs updating Jun 24, 2013 10:46 AM

77 beach not safe (undertow) road feels unsafe between playground and main parkconcrete walkway too curvy

Jun 24, 2013 10:37 AM

78 Poor condition of St. Lawrence St. Tree growth blocking view to the bay. Jun 24, 2013 10:10 AM


26/807 of 9


79 The parking lot could be better it's a little rough. Jun 24, 2013 10:06 AM

80 Too much parking on street. Jun 24, 2013 9:48 AM

81 Re-route the road so there is no vehicles between the play area & the water. Jun 24, 2013 9:35 AM

82 Some areas of the waterfront are hard or difficult to access. Jun 24, 2013 9:27 AM

83 -more garbage cans -need a water fountain -road resurface -pave the East endby the water pump station

Jun 24, 2013 8:11 AM

84 more garbage pickup needed on weekend nights. Jun 24, 2013 7:56 AM

85 It is very basic and not very well designed or attractive. As the water recededfrom the shoreline many years ago so too did much of its charm. The buildingsare dated and ugly. The basketball court isn't maintained. The beaches aren'twelcoming. The gravel area at Huron St and St. Lawrence is ugly and seeminglytoo large. The open grassy area next to that same gravel area used to be agood area to throw a ball around, but now has a large planter box inexplicablyplunked down right in the middle of it which limits the use of that area for

anything else anymore. Make an outdoor skating rink in the winter either in oneof the parking lots or on the park's open grassy area. Set up a ball hockey areawith fixed nets in the summer.

Jun 24, 2013 7:55 AM

86 Too much parking and not enough green space Jun 24, 2013 7:25 AM

87 problems re. speed limits and pedestrian crossings currently inadequate- safetyissues

Jun 24, 2013 7:07 AM

88 Never enough parking Jun 24, 2013 6:18 AM

89 wider paths to accommodate both those on foot and on bikes. Riding on roughroad difficult

Jun 23, 2013 1:09 PM

90 No good entrances to the park. It is almost invisible except from the water. Jun 22, 2013 3:18 PM

91 sometimes parking Jun 22, 2013 8:37 AM

92 The potholes in St. Lawrence. The excess in road width. Lack of much to do atthe park. Nowhere to sit at the park. Main problem is that there is a definite lackof access to the water. Ideally, we would like an easier way to get down to thewater, relax comfortably and be able to just go in to cool off and have fun. Haveyou seen little kids bring their shovels and pails to the shale? Climbing over thebig blocks of water breakers is getting harder.

Jun 22, 2013 7:29 AM

93 Rough pavement Jun 22, 2013 5:50 AM

94 road conditions parking at Rotary Park Jun 22, 2013 3:39 AM

95 The road between the kids park and the water front Jun 21, 2013 6:31 PM

96 Change rooms at wet entrance are a bit dated. Jun 21, 2013 1:18 PM

97 Water access. Jun 21, 2013 11:53 AM


27/808 of 9


98 water access is a bit difficult - other wise it's a wonderful place - just look a bittired.

Jun 21, 2013 8:47 AM

99 Low water has made shale/rocky debris a problem Jun 21, 2013 8:06 AM

100 upgrade washrooms improve the beaches parking and the park as well assheltered picnic areas and bbq's

Jun 21, 2013 7:29 AM

101 Traffic should be eliminated if at all possible. While Parking is needed, it could beless "in your face". Can parking be moved to the extremities of the park with alimited general parking and Accessible parking spots close by.

Jun 21, 2013 7:15 AM

102 No Jun 21, 2013 6:53 AM

103 I don't drive into town to bring my kids there but I might if Enviropark got afacelift.

Jun 21, 2013 6:52 AM

104 No - It suits my needs well Jun 21, 2013 6:22 AM

105 None. It is a gem. Jun 21, 2013 5:57 AM

106 The sand in the park. Hard to push the stroller around while keeping up with the3 year old.

Jun 21, 2013 5:07 AM

107 Needs more maintenance, care Jun 21, 2013 4:00 AM

108 I miss the swimming at the shale beach. Jun 21, 2013 2:36 AM

109 The citidiots walk around with open alcohol... even glass. More police patrol. Jun 20, 2013 9:09 PM

110 Accessibility my family wants to enjoy public spaces Jun 20, 2013 8:08 PM

111 At Niagara and St Lawrence need lower speed suggest stop sign. NeedEngineering to study the intersection as vehicles have on several occasions thisyear failed to negotiate corner and have knocked down the parking sign

Jun 20, 2013 6:59 PM

112 road crossings Jun 20, 2013 6:42 PM

113 no Jun 20, 2013 6:17 PM

114 Washrooms were not cleaned Jun 20, 2013 2:15 PM

115 dogs off leash, biking on the walkway,people leaving garbage Jun 20, 2013 1:59 PM

116 Difficulty crossing the road from playground to waterside. Aging playgroundequipment (though we LOVE the large wooden structures, nothing like any otherpark). Lack of access to water with low water levels (would love ro see a water

feature).

Jun 20, 2013 1:44 PM

117 No Jun 20, 2013 1:42 PM

118 Enviro park is really outdated - as a result I no longer take yournger familymembers to this area wish there were canoe or smal non motorized accesspoints near sunset point

Jun 20, 2013 1:35 PM


28/809 of 9


119 The roadway in front of the Enviro Park is too wide, too fast, and not well suitedto being next to a playground. Not enough bike parking. Playground needs to beupdated.

Jun 20, 2013 1:07 PM

120 Old facilities and limited. Unsafe vehicle drive through area instead of activetransportation friendly.

Jun 20, 2013 1:06 PM

121 entry to water dangerous slip or fall hazard Jun 20, 2013 12:57 PM

122 Enviro park needs an update or re-do Jun 20, 2013 12:56 PM

123 too many weeds Jun 20, 2013 12:49 PM

124 no Jun 20, 2013 12:44 PM

125 No Jun 20, 2013 12:39 PM

Q1. What would you suggest to make Sunset Point Park better?

1 Cart in truckloads of beach sand to put on top of the rock/shale areas. Ofcourse, maybe not right to the waterline as the sand would probably wash away.

Jul 24, 2013 6:03 AM

2 Paid parkingfor non -residents. Jul 22, 2013 4:31 PM

3 Splash pad & upgrades to playground Jul 21, 2013 7:29 PM

4 Gazebo for bands. Jul 20, 2013 1:10 PM

5 re-invigorate the Enviropark Add washrooms more parking traffic calming or re-routing of the road

Jul 18, 2013 12:21 PM

6 make it bigger, take out the 4 lane road and make the park much bigger, full ofactivities for all ages.

Jul 18, 2013 11:10 AM

7 both proposed plans cover my suggestions Jul 18, 2013 10:23 AM

8 Add a pavilion or similar structure to attract family and group functions Jul 18, 2013 7:17 AM

9 Adding a lisensed restaurant with patio and small playground so kids can play. Jul 17, 2013 12:13 PM

10 playground equipment adults can use like monkey bars, a licenced patio or anice restaurant with a patio, a splash pad, a more accessible beach, updates tothe pavillion

Jul 17, 2013 12:12 PM

11 Not Much, its natural, quiet, pleasant, a welcome break from traffic, noise,pullution, etc.

Jul 16, 2013 3:14 PM

12 maybe a splash pad for people in a wheel.chairs and people and kids that can;tswim?

Jul 16, 2013 1:36 PM

13 remove road way past playground, renovate playground, add splash pad, moretables, shade pavillions, bbq pits

Jul 11, 2013 5:14 PM

14 Splas Pad Jul 11, 2013 8:47 AM

15 designate and entrace dedicated walking and biking paths safety of roadwayssurrounding the park resurfacing of roadways (know that this is in the works)

Jul 11, 2013 6:45 AM

16 Splash pad!!!! Jul 10, 2013 5:15 PM

17 Please keep parking free Jul 10, 2013 11:55 AM

18 Since there is concern about children crossing from the park speed bumps withsignage both for drivers and caregivers should be adequate. The road does notneed to be closed. A washroom on the park side of road is needed.

Jul 10, 2013 9:01 AM

19 It's perfect- perhaps a small swimpad or playground back from water for youngfamilies. The views and nature are the attraction. Please do not create excessparking or carnival atmosphere, that will attract a carnival atmosphere and moretravelling city groups that overrun the park

Jul 10, 2013 7:54 AM

20 Fix the park. In addition, look at the trail in Parry Sound; great use of fitnessequipment along the trail to encourage fitness.

Jul 10, 2013 6:39 AM


32/804 of 9


21 A path at the west end to allow children and seniors easier access to the water Jul 10, 2013 5:52 AM

22 Please narrow St. Lawrence street. If and when paving St. Lawrence, bury theutilities (Town has done so nicely in other redeveloped areas).

Jul 9, 2013 12:42 PM

23 Having an area for dogs to run AND swim off-leash (so By-law doesn't give aticket for being off-leash) would be ideal. Perhaps at far west end which is veryrocky and not used as much by humans for swimming.

Jul 9, 2013 11:54 AM

24 Make separate lanes for bikers Away from cars, children, and walkers and Racksto lock bikes to walk to toilets, concessions, tables, beach.

Jul 9, 2013 8:37 AM

25 Water park/splash pad Jul 8, 2013 8:20 PM

26 Make people aware that they're sharing the space with others, and that everyonethere has a right to enjoy the activity they are engaged in. Do your thing and letothers do theirs. Respect the park and the people around you!

Jul 8, 2013 8:44 AM

27 clean up black rock beach of all the loose stones and pour a couple of concreteramps so it is accessable by wheel chair people and seniors

Jul 7, 2013 6:38 AM

28 I like it just the way it is. I'd rather it not be paved because I believe cars will gofaster if the surface is smooth. It's bumpy enough as is to slow traffic - withoutspeed bumps being added seasonally.

Jul 6, 2013 6:34 PM

29 A Pavilion, like the one at Thornbury's waterfront part, would be great for shade,picnics, events and concerts Kayak/canoe/paddleboard rental here would begreat too.

Jul 6, 2013 6:01 AM

30 Splash Pad Outdoor Skating Park i.e. London's Springbank Gardens Attractions Jul 5, 2013 8:19 AM

31 More events for children there during special events such as Canada day withbouncy castles, children's plays, children's music. It is a great space for kids torun and play and underutilized for our Collingwood townsfolk and our children.The downtown core seems to be the only important place in town for events andthere is never anything but strange people walking on stilts or a craft table. Kidswant to exercise, jump, play, laugh. The people on stilts are scary for some kids.I was disappointed moving from Wasaga to Collingwood this year that Wasagahas way more family friendly events and their Canada day is fun for the family,not just about walking down town. Boring for a 4 year old. We will go to anothertown next Canada day if Collingwood doesn't change.

Jul 5, 2013 6:09 AM

32 build a tourist walking pier out into the bay for Jul 5, 2013 5:47 AM

33 -Complete overhaul of the play structures -make the park feel more integratedinto the whole sunset point, open it up -open up the entrance, or make anentrance to the park -take out some of the cedars along the front and plant

inviting trees -Better access/ safety to the washroom facilities huge need withlittle kids -bike lock ups

Jul 4, 2013 11:38 PM

Jul 4, 2013 7:01 PM

37 A splash Pad by the water would be the perfect addition to not only sunset park,but the entire Collingwood Community. We spend more money on our dogs inthis town then our children and I think that it's about time we change that. Wedrive to Innisfil, Barrie and Meaford to use their splash pads rather than to ourown backyard because we are lacking in one. WE HAVE A BEAUTIFULWATERFRONT AT SUNSET - I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TRAVEL TO ANOTHERTOWNSHIP TO USE THEIRS!

Jun 27, 2013 10:11 AM

59 Additional washroom/changeroom facilites. Lifeguard on site (in the supposedLifequard Station) during the summer season. Establish clear guidelines for useof the park, sign them well and enforce them. Increase and improve parking toaccomodate additional usage from day trippers and special events, along withimproving safety. Replace the creasote covered railway tie parking barriers withan environmentally friendly (and legal) product. Narrow the overwide section ofSt. Lawrence St. from Huron to Raglan - where necessary and resurface it.Eliminate the angle parking. Improve the Enviropark with the addition of waterplay areas and provide a safer crossing from the Enviropark to the main park.Incude an exercise circuit in the park. Construct a covered bandshell/stage at theeast end of the park (for use by local theatre groups, musical presentations,educational nature presentations, fitness lectures, occasional evening movies,

starwatching etc. etc.) and add additional parking at that end to increase use ofthat end of the park. Add an adult exercise circuit. Move the Chipper into theexisting pavillion. Improve the overall visual appeal of the park with additionalgardens and care thereof. Get rid of or improve the existing basketball andvolleyball courts. In the 4+ years that I have lived on Sunset Court and visitedthe park daily, I have yet to see one single person on either court! Eliminateoutdoor cooking in any form. Increase the # of garbage receptacles.

95 Sharpen up the borders of all the different areas with curbs, stones, planterboxes etc. rather than current lack of any formal division between street andpark.

101 I would like to see washrooms in the Enviropark area. Get rid of the not-so kid-friendly cement sewer pipes. Block in a sandy area on the shale so the wavesdon't take it out. Create better access to the water down near the current brick

washrooms. Leave St. Lawrence going right through as is except narrower andcreating a safer crossing area to the canteen from the park. Add a water featuresuch as a splash pad to the park area. Allow expansion of the Canteen foroutdoor eating and easier access to the canteen for those who just drop by for aquick bite at lunchtime.

25 I have taken children under the age of 10 to the playground area many times andthey thoroughly enjoy it in it's present form. There has been a suggestion of asplash pad and I don't think that's necessary. The shale shoreline and low waterlevels are a perfect splash pad. I don't want a pedestrian crosswalk. Pedestriansof all ages need to look both way for their own safety.

Jul 6, 2013 6:34 PM

52 OOPS - already put ideas in #11. Improvements to and expansion of theEnviropark to include water features. Additional seating and washroom facilitiesin that area. LIfeguard. Improve the crossing to the main park. I do not believethat the Enviropark should be connected to the main park by way or re-routingvehicle traffic as this will simply encourage families to camp out near the waterand parents will not be forced/encouraged to personally supervise their childrenon the equipment instead becoming a little more complacent, feeling that it is OKto let them wander to the Enviropark unsupervised - as long as they are in

eyesight.

Splash pad at the park with seating for adults to supervise their children. Asectioned off area in the water for kids to swim would be great. Sand on theshore would help for enjoyment. Then families wouldn't have to drive to WasagaBeach to enjoy the water and sit in the sand.

Jul 7, 2013 6:38 AM

17 I would be reluctant to walk anywhere late at night by myself. The park has goodlighting and enough housing nearby that it is likely safe. The trail in the woodsleading to town might not be however and I would like a sidewalk/path on theNorth side of Prettty River Parkway from Raglan Street to Sobeys as analternative route in the winter or late evenings. I think there should be a pushbutton pedestrian crosswalk at Niagara Street for the school crossing guard andothers wanting to go to the park.

Jul 6, 2013 6:34 PM

18 I would be interested in a water quality notice board posted on a sign or at one of

the buildings. Updated weekly? Daily? Providing information on the beach waterquality would ease any user concerns. I remember some time back that thisbeach was closed due to water quality issues.

78 see #11 Jun 20, 2013 1:42 PM

79 more lights, public space, more events, easier walking access from the parkwayso there are more people in the park, build more activities and events into thepark so it becomes a main destination point-currently it is not - however chipwagon is helping out in this!

Jun 20, 2013 1:35 PM

80 Strategic lighting - not just lighting up the whole thing, but well though outadditional lighting in some spaces

Jun 20, 2013 1:07 PM

81 pedestrian crossings from park to water side. or close down the street entirely.The park is too close to the side of road/parking areas. bathrooms closer to playarea. create sitting areas for parents.

Q1. Is there enough space, equipment, or features in the Park for the activities you do?

1 We tend to use the word ' park' to describe a variety of recreational areas. A truepark is a dedicated area with amenities for use by children of all ages. Therefore,Enviropark needs to be rebuilt, splash pads for all ages need to be added alongwith more washrooms . We also need organized parking for bicycles

Jul 18, 2013 12:21 PM

2 Stations for pull ups, etc Jul 17, 2013 12:13 PM

3 Please do not increase parking or create a carnival atmosphere. Larger groupsand buses from the city ruin the special and intimate nature/experience ofscenery. They overrun and dominate large areas of grass and force out locals.

Jul 10, 2013 7:54 AM

4 you could incorporate monkey bars at an adult height for pull-ups. Box jumpswould also be great at 20". Again, Parry Sound added fitness stations that wouldbe awesome here.

Jul 10, 2013 6:39 AM

5 Please see comments above re: off-leash area for dogs. Jul 9, 2013 11:54 AM

6 paved walking trails would be wonderful. Jul 9, 2013 8:37 AM

7 lots of space available to put in a water park/splash pad! Jul 8, 2013 8:20 PM

8 upgrades to the playground equipment would be great Jul 5, 2013 10:10 AM

9 Designated dog beach would be nice where our dog could play in the waterlegally.

Jul 5, 2013 6:53 AM

10 Again would like more activities for children Jul 5, 2013 6:09 AM

11 Something new and inviting Jul 4, 2013 11:38 PM

12 adding an overhead bar for people to bring and use their suspension strapswould be amazing.

Jul 4, 2013 7:01 PM


Jul 4, 2013 7:01 PM


Jul 4, 2013 7:01 PM

15 New monkey bars for the older kids and a splash pad for all ages wouldcomplete the park perfectly!

Jul 4, 2013 6:07 PM

16 There's a trail and that's about it .. yes, good park for the kids .. if the mosquitosdon't carry them away

Jul 3, 2013 4:25 AM

17 picnic tables Jul 2, 2013 4:59 PM

18 Just need more benches. Jul 2, 2013 8:44 AM

19 See above comments regarding the playground. Jul 1, 2013 8:38 AM

20 A lot of the equiptment is for older children. There are few things my 4 and 5year old can really do on their own. There is missing pieces and gaps up highwhich can be confusing for small children and cause accidents as well.

Q1. Is there enough space, equipment, or features in the Park for the activities you do?

21 See above Jul 1, 2013 4:03 AM

22 I would like to see an adult equipment exercise circuit. A few more benches andpicnic tables would be nice.

Jun 27, 2013 9:25 AM

23 The park on most days is very passive people come to swim watch the sunsetetc.

Jun 27, 2013 7:14 AM

24 It would be nice to have more larger trees for shade. Jun 26, 2013 4:33 AM

25 need for designated areas for activities Jun 25, 2013 6:28 PM

26 The correct answer would be Yes, marginally. We use the "open space" item"g". It is important that this remain clear of permanent items like benches, signs,trees, shrubs, etc as we require 50 meter radius to safely launch and land kites.This works currently, as we can move a picnic table if required, but this is aproblem is said picnic table is tied down. The point : Please keep the "OpenSpace" OPEN.

Jun 25, 2013 7:56 AM

27 Would like upgrade to basketball court, bocce pits, Jun 25, 2013 7:24 AM

28 As above Jun 24, 2013 5:21 PM

29 Sometimes there are not enough picnic tables Jun 24, 2013 3:10 PM

30 generally OK. feels disorganized. I have a lot of suggestions under no. 20. Iwould use the park more if these were implemented.

Jun 24, 2013 10:37 AM

31 Could have exercise stations. Jun 24, 2013 10:10 AM

32 Biking & walking on the sunset point trail is a bit of a challenge since manybikers do not warn pedestrians of their approach from behind. We should make ita law that all bikes have bells & that bikers use them as they approach apedestrian.

Jun 24, 2013 9:35 AM

33 As already noted, more areas suited to ball/frisbee throwing, hockey(summer/winter) defined boating areas possible boat/kayak/canoe rentalconcession etc.

Jun 24, 2013 7:55 AM

34 The parking lots are a waste of valuable space as they are as yet this year everfull.

Jun 24, 2013 7:25 AM

35 often feel in walkers way when on bike, try to be considerate but paths narrow inspots

Jun 23, 2013 1:09 PM

36 There should be more for children to do and for me, I would appreciatesomewhere to sit and watch them. Sometimes we have family gatherings down

there or a birthday party celebration and more seating and picnic
