David Smith Memorial Park Master Plan
Summary
The plan would add an all-abilities playground, splash pad, restrooms, a small parking lot, and expanded dog park to a neighborhood park on a jointly owned town/school district parcel. Neighbors worry it will become a regional destination bringing traffic, crowds, and crime; supporters point to inclusion, tribal honoring of Dave Smith, and grant potential.

Impact analysis
The full build-out carries a hefty price tag staff acknowledged is not currently feasible; no construction funds were authorized and future funding would rely on state and private grants.
Families of children with special needs, the Smith family and local tribal community, and park users gain inclusive amenities and a path to grant funding.
Adjacent Sugar Maple Lane neighbors fear a parking lot, splash pad crowds, crime, and lost views could hurt their quality of life and property values.
