Park Drive bridge is special. ? Using the Native American inspired mosaic theme on the west bridge abutment. Trim back dog park a bit

Beautiful location, wish it wasn’t littered with e-bikes and scooters.

We need better sidewalks on adjacent streets (10th, Piedmont, and Monroe). Park needs to do a better job of fronting Piedmont (Ansley side)

so much! the olmstedian paths, granite columns and stairs, the trees, the history, the calm of the trails through the woodlands.

The park should add paddle boats on the lake. Would be a great way to raise funds for the park. Similar to the swan boats in LA at echo park

Large scale private boot camps are destroying the grass on Oak Hill. The conservancy has already had to re-sod a large area.

- More clean benches
- Park is not well maintained, toilets are despicable.
- The 2 children play grounds are in poor conditions

Maintain the park's current paths, trails, and amenities. Consider changing the sand/packed dirt Active Oval loop into an actual track.

I'd like to see an artist area where visual artists who create wall art such as paintings, drawings & photos could display & sell their art.

E-scooters are a blight, impede wheelchair users/strollers, and are often abandoned in wooded areas like Six Springs. Get rid of them!

Activities such as paddle or rowing boats in the lake. Make the lake cleaner. Add more quality food and drinks areas for adults and kids

I would love all the steps with the metal railings would be cleaned once a year so you could see how the post bases are rusting in place.

Floral designs in pots throughout the park could be more interesting and forward looking (e.g., Monrovia.com ideas)… even with old pots.

#1 for me- the upkeep of the park; should be 1st for all. Conserve the nature within, the beauty, w/ janitorial staff and groundskeepers!

I think there should be a concrete outdoor theatre for concerts & other arts, to help w/ events. Maybe more community driven events, too!

Moving to Midtown was soulfully because of Piedmont Park. I love the conservation of nature in an urban city. Water fountains should work!!

Paddle boats in the lake. Merry go round and a train ride for kids. A sit down Cafe that serves adult drinks & food. Ways to raise revenue.

Expansion of trails (paved and unpaved) within wooded areas and better maintenance of existing trails (particularly drainage)

I'd like to see free dedicated pickleball courts - perhaps on the land being added near Monroe and Piedmont. Hopefully sooner than 2044!

New plants like those at the 14th Street Gate are great, but without water, they are dying! You can't rely on rain to keep new plants alive.
