Do you want more spraygrounds? More playgrounds? More trails? More ballfields? More natural areas? Have you seen a unique playground in another city that you'd love Raleigh to build?
It's time to speak up. Raleigh officials are mapping out park plans for the city over the next 20 years and they are looking to park users for some thoughts. And with the amount of time parents spend in Raleigh's parks, I'm sure there are lots of ideas out there!
The city has been holding meetings over the last couple of weeks to provide information and get some feedback. The final one is 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Thursday, at Lake Lynn Community Center, 7921 Ray Rd., in north Raleigh. Click here for details.
But, if you can't make the meeting, the city also has this website where the public can take a look at the plan so far and make comments and suggestions.
I, for one, would love to see more spraygrounds, which essentially are play pieces that spray water, around the city's parks.

uh....no.
skateparks should be free, just like any other piece of park equipment is free, if you make this fee based then you have to employees to monitor the park, then you have pad nannies and too many rules to list.
keep skateparks free, theres more kids out there skating than there are playing little league anyways.

1. How about hidden wireless and constantly monitored police cameras in all park areas such as the Tobacco Trail where gangs may inhabit?
2. Armed plain clothed security (volunteers if need be?)randomly patrolling the parks during business hours.
3. Business advertising in the parks of those businesses who substantially contribute to park upkeep and security.
4. Concealed/carry allowed in parks.
