I don't think they have any clear advantage over grass, but I think that grass too needs some initial site work beyond just grading and planting. Otherwise it can have poor drainage and remain muddy longer than normal.<br /><br />Looking forward to Pernoshal path being done,<br /><br />Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419803744024396337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-37522029877003506042016-01-12T17:01:19.573-05:002016-01-12T17:01:19.573-05:00Jay you will be happy to learn that outdoor gym eq...Jay you will be happy to learn that outdoor gym equipment is in the process of being installed (close together) along the trail extension at Pernoshal Park, close to the basketball court and Pickle court. I don't know the brands but guessing good research was done and believe you will be happy when you see them. Heyward, I understand your frustration that you & others might not make it but there will be other ways to voice your desires and those details should be coming out tonight. Jay, I am no expert on what to install when it comes to real vs artificial grass nor for anything else on the list. I just put my list out there to remind the community of some facts ($4 million settlement, new parks, etc) and to foster conversations on options for the community.John Heneghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18046846808671417720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-18128681314025089352016-01-12T11:45:35.823-05:002016-01-12T11:45:35.823-05:00Unable to make it due to child activity meetings, ...Unable to make it due to child activity meetings, but I look forward to reading minutes whenever posted. Thus, I post some ideas here instead.<br /><br />Outdoor fitness area at BRP would be nice. You imply that artificial turf would allow extended playing time. My research indicates that artificial turf (aka fieldturf) has a much stronger 'lobby' than natural grass--but numerous cities have not been happy with it due to cost/warranty issues. From what I read, fieldturf gets dangerously hot on hot days. I'm not sure if fieldturf actually allows extended usage.<br /><br />The JCC is re-doing their fields now to improve drainage (staying with natural grass). IMO, grass is the way to go--but do it properly from the start, haul in sand, make sure drainage is set up properly. <br /><br />Wish we had more Wells Fargo ATMs in Dunwoody, but probably not much you can do about that.<br />Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419803744024396337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-44091391488516988572016-01-11T13:32:53.505-05:002016-01-11T13:32:53.505-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.SDOC Publishing Internet Solutionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041229381529252700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-89532326725477272012016-01-11T11:17:57.529-05:002016-01-11T11:17:57.529-05:00I wish this meeting was not at the same time the P...I wish this meeting was not at the same time the Planning Commission's meeting on the Dunwoody Village Townhomes project.Heywardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875963417784604144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-39620681249801033542016-01-11T11:13:10.881-05:002016-01-11T11:13:10.881-05:00I'll try to make it to the meeting.

Would like to see something for kids, but also some for adults (chest press, lat pull down, 'moving' equipment, not just the stiff and uncomfortable sit-up things).<br /><br />It looks like quite a few companies make outdoor fitness equipment.<br />--this kids equipment, particularly the easy-to-use pullup thing looks good:<br />http://www.norwelloutdoorfitness.com/en/our-lines/kids-exercises<br /><br />other companies:<br />gametime<br />greenfield<br />outdoor-fitness<br /><br />I can't find a single pullup bar to work on pullups or attach my suspension trainer. Something like this would be nice:<br />http://www.gametime.com/product/Fitness-Rack-13189/<br /><br />I think this would get used, but moreso if it's located together, not one piece every quarter mile scattered around the park.<br /><br /><br /><br />Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419803744024396337noreply@blogger.com
