The Indigenous Park and existing dog parks (for both large and small dogs) as well as the Wildlife Center should be left as is except for improving the facilities at the Wildlife Center and perhaps making a new trail through the park. The wildlife know this is where they can stop making their journey to and from South America.
There are plenty of spaces available that can be converted into ball fields or current ones enlarged.
Thank you,
Mr. Craig is not a good listener. Despite 2 public meetings, each one doubled in size due to the concern with the staff’s plans, his arrogance trumps any citizen input. First he claimed the Wildlife Center asked to be moved. This is not true. Second, regarding the dog park, no one from the County or the massive dog lover contingency in Key West has asked for any changes. There is an issue with a lack of sports fields. Why not use the Truman Waterfront space to provide playing fields? Why not work with the Monroe County School District to replace the fields at Horace O’Bryant and Glynn Archer that were “lost” to construction? What is lacking from the illustrious Planning Department in Key West is an integrated overall plan for the city that respects wildlife and meets the diverse needs of the community.
We live next to Indigenous Park. It is a beautiful and natural environment. Our neighborhood does not want any changes and have made this clear to Don Craig, the city commissioners and the planning department .Are they listening to the people who pay taxes ??
