Dear Friends and Neighbors:

Please mark your calendars to join us once again for a fun and productive morning of work in Brentwood Park on Saturday, November 5th starting at 9 am.

If you can join us, we'd be thrilled to see you!

I know this is short notice but we are doing another mini-workday at Brentwood Park this Saturday, Aug. 13 from 7-9 AM.

We are continuing to mulch the older trees that are stressed. We will be working on the trees in the Eastern section of the park.

Please bring a wheel barrel, shovel, gloves, water jug, hat/sunscreen. Last mini-work day we had good attendance and were able to spread 6 yards of mulch in 1.5 hrs.

Please come out if you are able.

Dear Neighbors,

Please join us for the final Brentwood Park Planning Workshop this Thursday from 7 - 8pm at Brentwood Elementary School.

*Please arrive a few minutes early, as the school will close at 8pm and we will need to start on time.*

Preliminary Brentwood Park Survey results as of Wednesday, August 3, 2011 have been posted on the Friends of Brentwood Park website (http://sites.google.com/site/brentwoodparkfriends/).

The feedback expressed
in the results will be used to guide activities at the planning workshop.

We also need to talk to Ronny of the IGA beforehand.
Kat, Susan and Emily will bring coolers.

Dear Neighbors,

You might notice 4 wooden stakes in a large rectangle formation just east of the playscape.

These four stakes are wrapped in bright 'construction orange' ribbon, and each has a flyer notice from Friends of Brentwood Park.

As you know, Friends of Brentwood Park is working on a pavilion project with Parks and Recreation Dept., and these 4 stakes represent the approximate size and placement of the 24 ft wide by 48 ft long proposed pavilion.

Friends of Brentwood Park is currently conducting a survey on amenities at Brentwood Park in order to guide future projects and grant applications.

The survey asks how you and your family currently use the park, how you would like to use the park in the future, what your favorite and least favorite aspects of the park are, and what your priorities are for park improvements.

The survey can be accessed here.

The survey will be closed on July 10.

There has been dialogue on the Brentwood listserve about the tagging or vandalism that is occuring in Brentwood Park and in our neighborhood.

Since both neighborhoods use the park and since both neighborhoods should be aware of gang related activity, I am sending this out to both listserves.
