• Admire what you have done, best rec facilities anywhere

• An all over park like in Oak Hills would be good

• Appreciate close park, need pool

• Appreciate the resources provided, concerned about keeping up with growth

• Bike lanes

• Buy land at 185/Springville and make it into a park, hot tub in public pools for adults only

• Camouflage fences with shrubbery, buffers to sidewalk

• Can’t individuals annex?

• Cedar Hills lake algae problem could be helped by putting in wild rice

• CedarMill crossing needs a cross walk across Barnes Rd

• Concerned with lack of pedestrian walkways on major roads, lack of bike lanes

• Connected trail system

• Connection to Forest Heights trails needed

• Consider on street bike trails & sidewalks as important part of rec. Need public art

• Considering leaving Cedar Mill because of lack of parks

• Continue good work

• Does an excellent job maintaining facility

• Don’t like current registration policy for out of district

• Family sports teams

• Focus on outdoor, linear parks

• Frustrated park planning is such a low priority for Wa Co.

• Get any land you can

• Good job but strained facilities

• Hazardous parking at Mitchell Park during baseball games

• I really appreciate the services I receive as a rickety old person

• I think thprd is great. I would like to see it expanded if at all possible.

• I would like to see a bike land and sidewalk on NW Cornell Rd from Miller West to 113th in order to ride or walk to parks and trails.

• Id green spaces and preserve them as development continues, agency coordination

• Identify blocks of land and create a ballot measure to buy capital

• Keep up the good work

• Leave drinking fountains in Mitchell turned on, don't use pesticides

• Like it easier to schedule private swim lessons, do not expand attention to home school activities

• Linkages are key

• Love the idea of parks, but taxes are becoming prohibitive for people on fixed incomes

• Love THPRD

• Love THRPD, keep up the excellent work

• Lower class costs; make a discount for multiple siblings or multiple classes

• Make parks prettier like Portland parks

• Maximize field size, use space efficiently

• Merge with Beaverton SD for joint facilities

• Modern indoor/outdoor rink, another Bethany fountain area, food concessions

• More hours at swim pools, always crowded

• More neighborhood parks

• More open space, less team sports

• More open space, more picnic tables, preserve!!, need off leash dog areas, encourage people to use town centers and walk places

• More options for working parents

• Need a large facility like at Gabriel Park, developed land should have a % reserved for parks and schools

• Need a place for teens to hang out

• Need larger tracts of parks - not tiny little loops

• Need more public open parks; need bike paths; all other facilities are very good

• Need public way stations with restrooms, phones, water, etc.

• Need to make developers provide and or pay for preservation

• Never received park in the area like requested 25 yrs ago

• New developments should be required to be part of THPRD

• Northern boundary should be expanded to UGB

• Not aware of current usage of facilities, are they cramped? Do we really need more buildings? Are classes full?

• Offer reciprocal rights to use your facilities for people in neighboring districts

• Only participate in adult sports leagues. It is a lot less expensive for me to pay out-of-district fees than to pay the hundreds of dollars in property taxes to be in-district. However, if there were facilities in the Cedar Mill area, I might be more willing to be annexed.

• Out of district residents should be allowed to pay an annual fee to be considered in district

• Parks and greenbelts are important to communities

• Parks up here are a joke, thoroughly inadequate

• Performing arts area

• THPRD is an asset to our area in quality of life

• THPRD is great but more facilities are needed

• Prefer open green space to rec center

• Proactive leadership in annexing out of district areas; current "wait to be invited in" seems to inhibit the education of the out of district areas on benefits of THPRD

• Publication specific to cedar mill

• Rec center please

• Senior center in the district is inadequate considering aging populations

• Services need to be expanded, happy being in District

• Sidewalks

• Stay as rural as possible

• Survey too long to for a shopper to stand to do

• Surveys should be done for programs, some are cost prohibitive

• SW Community Center at Gabriel Park is the best - should duplicate

• Team up with school district

• Team up with School District on new development on Teufel property off of Barnes Rd.

• Thanks

• Thanks for opportunity for input

• Thanks for the survey

• Thanks to thprd for all the wonderful opportunities-the whole family loves it.

• The county and large companies should provide these since they are increasing through jobs

• There are 3 open tracts of land bordering McDaniel for sale

• There is a designated park in south drive in bluffs

• There was an attached letter dated 8/17/00. Wants staff to review issues

• Transform open space into recreation centers

• Ultimately, out-of-district residents will probably not be able to use facilities, which fair since we don't pay. But, it is unfair also because we want to join but do not 75% majority to annex in.

• Unacceptable that we live in the cedar mill area and are out of district

• Want my area preserved, don't want buildings

• We need a swim-tennis-rec facility in the Bonnie slope area

• What are the plans for parks within all the development on Saltzman?

• Why do in-district residents pay taxes and fees and out of district only pay fees. It seems they have the cost advantage

• Will not vote for more bonds b/c we haven't been given what we were promised

• Wonderful service to community
