Committee considers movable sandwich boards and a new signboard to clarify park rules and events
Summary
Staff proposed installing a more visible signboard at the playground entrance and using movable sandwich boards for seasonal messaging near picnic areas. The committee discussed placement, municipal-code references and cost; staff said the work could likely be handled within operating budget.
Staff described requests for clearer signage at the park entrance and playground. The proposed option is a wooden signboard capable of holding large poster-size boards; committee members suggested combining a permanent sign that lists rules with movable sandwich boards for seasonal messages and event promotion.
One committee member suggested placing movable sandwich boards near picnic tables where weekend parties occur; another suggested evaluating placement by experimenting with sandwich boards first and then installing permanent signage in proven locations. Tony Boyd said the sign could likely be funded from operating budget; committee members discussed aesthetics, visibility and municipal-code-based rules enforcement.
Why it matters: Better signage can reduce rule violations, improve visitor information and direct people on how to report problems. Next steps include a cost review and pilot use of movable signs.
