Committee weighs shaded play structures and accessible paths as phased CPC projects

S3 reported he had contacted Annie about shade structures and shared vendor links; he noted the structures used at the Pines require the fabric to be removed in winter and reinstalled in spring, which affects maintenance planning. S3 said the supplier information gives the committee a template, but the project will need to go through bids and CPC review if pursued.

On the Pines accessible-path project, S2 confirmed a proposal has been submitted and Annie will place it before CPC. S2 said she is willing to present the project at the CPC meeting to explain design inspiration (citing Haverhill’s Riverside Park) and to argue for a phased approach to match available funds. Members discussed prioritizing shade where equipment gets hottest versus covering all play areas.
