Sense of Arrival to Facility from Main Entrance – Vehicular At the time of the site visit the parking lot at Peeler Park was undergoing a complete renovation. Based on the new layout of the parking lot and revised entry, the facilities at Peeler Park will be accessible via vehicles with parking close to the recreation center as well as the pool. There is currently no signage directing people to or identifying Peeler Park from either road frontage. Sense of Arrival to Facility from Main Entrance – Pedestrian Due to construction, it is hard to determine the layout of pedestrian circulation to the recreation center, but the newly installed sidewalks connecting the center with the parking is easy to transverse. There is no direct pedestrian connection from the pool area to the basketball courts and baseball field. Accessibility and Well-Being The sidewalks associate with the revised parking lot appear to meet all ADA requirements. However, the path to access the pool has several tripping and slope issues. There is currently no seating available around the site. Sustainability There does not appear to be any sustainable elements at Peeler Park. The inclusion of stormwater features and educational signage would improve the sustainability of Peeler Park. Quality and Physical Condition In general, the park is well-kept. The pool area does not appear to have seen any maintenance in recent years, evident by a large collection of leaves on the deck and pool cover via surrounding trees. Vegetation consisting of cattail and willow saplings has started growing on the pool cover. The ball courts have been recently resurfaced with the basketball court having futsal equipment added as part of a master plan phased construction project.
