The Venetia Valley K-8 school has a cool playground in an area that otherwise does not have many playground options. However, it is locked outside of school hours and on the weekends. Why could this playground not be open to the public when school is not in session? I bet kids from the school would even enjoy playing after school. Many other schools, for example Bacich and Kent, keep their playgrounds open at all times. Kids need spaces to play and we are so lucky that this one already exists! Why not just make it available to the community?

Convert the pétanque court next to the Civic Center lagoon into something that the community actually wants. I walk by it multiple times a day and see someone using it less than once a week. This is amazing real estate. What if it was a pickleball court for older adults? Or a better playground for kids? A basketball court that the middle schoolers could use after school? There is so much need and demand for shared community spaces that serve us all.
