During the meeting held on June 26, 2025, commissioners expressed their enthusiasm for the project, highlighting its potential to enhance community amenities and attract visitors to the area.

Commissioners noted the importance of the park's design, which includes multiple transportation access points and improved pedestrian and bicycle access. These features are expected to make the park more accessible and enjoyable for residents and visitors alike. The discussions reflected a shared excitement about the upgrades, with several commissioners recalling the original master plan discussions from 2014 and the challenges faced in securing funding and community support.
