Sauerkraut -

Sauerkraut - quick!
Since you use the area so much and the construction will only hurt your life...What is going up right now on the property?

If you can answer correctly, I'll believe you run by.

There are 600 parking spots and a pond. The playground is one section. There are many trails, kayaking, dining, and other things as well.


It's like saying space mountain is disneyland.
I don't see any parking places on the maps, Where will the parking be, in back where the homes are now?  Anyhow  I was going by the video that someone posted on post number 477- it just talked of one big playground for the kids broken up into 7 sections, nothing mentioned about kayaking or things like that. I just wondered why they could not spend a bit less on the Gathering Place and use the rest of the money to build up the west bank area and build a complete west bank jogging trail trail that runs from 11th street to Jenks, the complete west bank  trail can connect at the Jenks Bridge and loop onto the East bank Jogging trail. That's all I asked, no biggie.

I dunno, you tell me, the last time I jogged by the area was on Sunday afternoon and  they just had a big banner out that said "Gathering Place", and they had a big back hoe parked and a pile of dirt just east of the Jogging Trail near that bridge over the Crow Creek. What did they put up there? I normally park at the 41st street lot and run two miles south and two miles back, Sunday I did a six miler and ran two miles south  and two miles back and a mile north to the Gathering Place area and then back. I didn't see anything else but then I was not really looking. Huh

Because this isn't being built for your own personal use you narcissistic twit.

I thought the parking was pretty clearly marked on the back of the main park area. With regard to it being a big playground, unless your kiddos drink beer I'm not sure they're going to be getting much out of the proposed biergarten.

When it comes to RiverSide Park, The thing most people care about is the jogging trails either for running or for cycling that's the main reason people go there in the first place.  As I said before  Why not use some of that grant money for improvements on the west bank and extending the west  trail from 11th street to Jenks it would not cost that much money most of the west trail is already there, they just need to make it continous. They have a ton of money..  Maybe I'm just old fashioned but I would also like to see mile markers on a post like they had before the trail was re-built, so you can see the mile marker post from a distance. The Gathering Place from what I read about it just seems to be all Bells & Whistles with some  Frills thrown  like  an over glorified playground for the kiddies. I wish some of the money could be spent for other improvements at RiverParks too. I'm just sayin'.

That of course ignores all the people there with their kids at the parks and playgrounds, the people playing soccer, volleyball, frisbee golf, basketball, dining, listening to live music, fishing, taking photos, going for a stroll, going on a picnic, enjoying the scenery, taking photos, rollerblading, etc. etc.

Well obviously since you're giving your opinion about it again, you've made the effort to go down there and reflect on the work being done.

So what have they erected on the property?  It's very obvious.  You can't miss it.

Make an effort to support your thoughts.

What is the newest thing added to the property?

I did say MOST people who go to River Parks go for the trails- and people who rollerblade use the trails. The biggest  draw to River Parks is the jogging trails, Saturday & Sunday mornings the trail is crowded with runners and cyclists not may people doing anything else. The Gathering Place is Ok but it's not what I would of planned with the money. As I said use some of the money for the west bank a good example is why not build up the west bank Festival Park? Extend the trails down to Jenks on the west bank so we'll have a big trail loop. Seems to me they are Putting too many eggs into one place~ The Gathering Place. Split the money up..  JMO.
