Help Design the New Downtown Park

If you’d like to help design the new downtown park, you can take this online survey. The survey is a tool to help the park designers establish the “look and feel” of the future park. It will help determine the style and character, as well as some of the features people would like to see in the park. The survey will show you a series of images and ask you to choose which image you prefer. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The images represent general design styles, not specific products. If you don’t like any of the images just choose the most favorable one.
