3. Need for Further Parks and Recreation Facilities in the city,
with Special Emphasis on Kevin Moran Park and Azule Park
Following is a summary of comments made by the public:
Quiet, Passive Park Space.
Focus Groups to design Kevin Moran and Azule parks.
one City
one Commission
- one Kevin Moran
- one Azule
- one general community
At least 25 focus groups.
Play structure for age 5-12 at Kevin Moran Park.
No alcohol if adult sports teams use Kevin Moran park, police
protection provided, too.
Parking problem at E1 Quito Park.
- No parking on residence side
- Need better parking at E1 Quito
- Limit activities to no more than two at once at E1 Quito
People in park (Keyin Moran) after hours - especially in summer,
cars racing up and down street - an annoyance. Refer to Public
Safety Commission.
Need more soccer fields - goal posts.
- portable equipment for practice fields so they can be
multipurpose.
Look at areas which are more accessible for recreational
facilities.
Keep neighborhood parks local.
Kevin Moran should not be developed as Sports complex (Not AYSO,
it's okay?).
Lights, adult fields are examples of sports complex.
What's more important--recreational facilities or orchard land? If
former, then there is flat land at other locations.
Use Blue Hills/Azule for AYSO - share facilities.
Kevin Moran - left area for more playground equipment~ right area
more open area for low intensity play - par course.
City Council Minutes 2 ~uly 8, 1995
Kevin Moran - Community garden, play area, soccer practice area -
larger playground area - focus on neighborhood needs.
Jointly develop Azule with Blue Hills for sports needs.
Cupertino schools say "yes" to Coop.
Neighbors in E1 Quito want meeting on their park.
Little League says Kevin Moran not a good locale for formal field -
just practice.
Orchard good place for more fields.
Need to 10ck at alternatives to Kevin Moran - another meeting or
committee.
Focus on Kevin Moran should remain as set out 20+ years ago. Look
elsewhere.
Develop overall grand plan with schools for all recreation needs -
arts, theatre, etc. as well as sports. Campbell, High schools,
Cupertino.
Infrastructure - location - limit Kevin Moran to a neighborhood
role - size limits possibilities.
Kevin Moran - allow area for creative play - trees, bushes, build
forts, etc.
Kevin Moran not right for girls softball.
City should develop a sports complex someplace in City.
Softball, girls, work to develop Foothill & Argonaut Schools for
their program.
Greenbriar HomeOwners Association in 10/90 says develop Azule as
neighborhood park - have same concerns as Kevin Moran neighbors.
Seniors use Kevin Moran because of current character.
Kevin Moran is actively used by all ages groups.
Kevin Moran - Trees and ivy along f:ceeway wall - beautify - improve
playground.
Dog folks look at Kevin Moran and Azule - feel not suitable - would
like solution - pay license fee perhaps?
Need gym at Redwood Middle School or expanded gym at Saratoga High
School.
Orchard part of Keyin Moran need:s to be properly maintained -
homeless using overpass - cut through fence.
