Playgrounds provide a safe space for neighborhood children to play, learn, be creative, and interact with nature. When played on, playgrounds can also improve a child's mood and emotional well-being, and help maintain physical well-being.
The playground at Holland Park does not currently foster such physical activity, nor does it promote interaction with nature. In the summer time, the playground is too hot to play on with the black surface and no shade. The playground also lacks variety in the equipment that's available, and is minimal at best.
With this petition, we ask the city to add the following three structures to make the Holland Park playground more appealing for neighborhood families and increase its use:
1. Swing set including an expression swing (a swing that allows parents to swing with their young children)
2. Shade sails to provide shade over playground equipment
3. Rock climbing wall to encourage physical play for all ages

We live next to Holland Park and my daughter loves to play there. Upgrading it would be a wonderful plus to living nearby!
Our parks need improvement. This would help. The cost is not prohibitive, especially when compared to the billions we're spending on a new police station.
Would love to have more equipment and shaded areas. There are a lot of children in the surrounding neighborhoods and this would be more convenient than driving to Farmington or other parks in Fayetteville.
We also need crosswalk pavement paint for safety. Many families use this hidden gem. Shade sails are needed!
The children who live in this neighborhood need equipment to play on and some shade over at least part of the play area.
Please!
Just moved here and this will be a great addition for the children . Let’s make it happen .

Parks are an essential area of play for our younger children. Please be sure to add equipment for all children of all physical needs to make this park fun and inclusive for all children.
