Hi Glenn and your welcome. My thanks as well. Ok here is the short
version of what I have indicated we RPCA are doing in relation to Ft. Ward
in the coming weeks and months.
Hold a meeting on Ft Ward with Seminary Hills Assoc. in the next few
weeks to review ideas for improving the park and addressing crowd
control and park overuse issues. Share ideas regarding site
improvements and receive feedback.
Change and improve procedures for park picnic and shelter reservations
Change and improve procedures for park rule enforcement
Check on eliminating use of alcohol at picnic and shelter/park rentals(
most likely, but need to make sure I can enact this)
Eliminate the allowance of amplified sound or music for rentals and
picnics except for City functions/events
Reduce the amount of "reserved picnic and shelter areas" to five areas
this year inorder to help control crowds and park over use
Investigate carrying capacity of the park and identify methods to
control overuse of the park
Develop stronger constituency and support base for the park ie.
