This Commission focuses on three areas: parks, recreation,and beautification.fication. If you had to choose,which of these three areas would be the primary one in which your interests and experience would be aimed? Recreation is my primary interest,personally and professionally,and it's clear that outdoor rec in particular is a strong economic driver for our community and a great way to help residents" boost their overall health. Given the number,quality, and diversity of our city parks facilities, we have a lot of opportunities for encouraging people to go outside and be active. 2. What is your favorite City of Port Angeles parks and recreation facility and why? Lincoln Park BMX Track: It's an excellent example of how public-private partnerships can benefit the community without putting undue burden on city resources. In just a few short years,the track has been revitalized as a welcoming,inclusive space for everyone and is demonstrating that outdoor recreation is a legitimate economic driver for Port Angeles.And it's fun! 3. Think of a Port Angeles park you visit. What would you do,or like to have done,to improve your experience? What do you love about this park'? I frequently walk my dogs in and around Jesse Webster Park, and travel through it on my way to/from places like Swain's and Midtown. Its tall evergreens make this park a unique space in the middle of town.A wide variety of bird species can be found there,including at least two pairs of ravens that nest and raise young in the park every year.Many neighborhood residents walk their dogs at Jesse Webster; several have suggested a small fenced-in dog run at the park for a safer experience,as well as a return of the benches that were removed a couple years ago. And,of course, Ed love to build a pumptrack next to the skate park at Erickson! Ideally one with a section that's wheelchair accessible, which would be the first of its kind.
