An open space survey was sent to Riverside Neighborhood residents and made available online during the summer of 2007. The survey asked questions about househol`d type and size, what types of activities people wanted in the new park, and the importance of different park functions. There have been 5 public meetings from September 2007 through January 2008, which further guided the design of the new park.
