I think the balance between Active and Informal uses in Minoru Park should...

If the Lakes are renewed, I would like to see them...

I value the following aspects of Minoru Park...

• It is a great place for walking
• It provides a wide range of activities for all ages
• It is an important sanctuary and place for respite within the City Centre
• It has high quality, well-used sports facilities
• The lakes are a key park feature and provide an important connection to water and nature
• People have strong memories of and connections to the park

I am concerned about the following at Minoru Park...

• the park is fragmented, incoherent, and lacks a distinctive character
• It lacks a sense of arrival
• The pedestrian circulation is disjointed
• The site is challenging to navigate
• Pedestrian safety and access through parking areas is challenging
• Adjacent uses within the park are not always complimentary
• The playground is small and difficult to access
• It can be unclear about which areas and facilities are part of the park and that the lakes area exists
• Balancing safety in the north area of the park with a desire to maintain its tranquil nature

My vision of an ideal Minoru Park would include...

• A distinctive “Minoru Park” identity
• Identifiable, inviting entry points that provide a sense of arrival
• Well connected walking circuits/ loops within the park and improved connections around/to the park
• Improved wayfinding and interpretive signage
• More informal and multi-use areas that accommodate a wide range of activities year round
• Better integration with adjacent site uses
