3. REVIEW THE CONCEPT SITE PLEA FOR BADGER PLAYGROUND AND SHELTER
AREA
Darling reviewed the updated version of the Badger Park playground and shelter area based on comments
made at the Park Commission meeting on March 13. Safety zones were indicated on the layout. The
designer noted the safety area for the playground extends slightly over the curb area and will be adjusted
the long way to avoid.
Mangold asked where the practice area for the lacrosse area would be located. Darling noted the location.
She stated the final engineering will be the time to work that out.
Rock questioned the orientation of the bow of the pirate ship. Darling stated that information would be
given to the designer to relocate the bow.
Vassar asked how much space is between the play area and the tennis court. Darling stated it would be
the same distance as shown on the concept plan without the trail.
Commissioners discussed sidewalk locations and suggested it include a walkway to the south and west of
the play area. The sidewalk connection to the shelter from the south will begin at the restroom locations
and connect through the shelter area to the parking area. It was also suggested the play area be moved
closer to the parking lot if possible.
Vassar asked if there is any concern about the restroom locations and the distance from the utility line.
Darling showed the stub location and distance to the restrooms.
Darling stated it would be possible to move the restrooms to the park shelter area. There would just need
to be two separate foundations.

Mangold asked if the restroom location impacts the location of the playground.
Commissioners discussed the grant submission and further information required. Darling stated the last
thing to do is get reasonable estimates for all the amenities.

the park shelter. A trail connection will be added connecting to the existing trail on the west side of the
lacrosse field and the park shelter.

choices and would bring back the information to a future meeting.
