Minutes 08-10-17 Town Square PlaygroundMINUTES OF THE PUBLIC INPUT MEETING
ON THE TOWN SQUARE - PLAYGROUND
HELD ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 2017, AT 5:30 PM, AT THE
BOYNTON BEACH CITY LIBRARY, PROGRAM ROOM
208 S. SEACREST BOULEVARD, BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
Laura South, Vice President, Event Production Merchant Strategy began the meeting
at 5:39 p.m.
Town Square Boynton Beach is a 16 -acre site in downtown Boynton Beach, just east of
the 1-95 Boynton Beach Boulevard exit. The project is a public/private partnership
between the City of Boynton Beach and E21- Real Estate Solutions, LLC and includes
the renovation of the historic Boynton Beach High School into a cultural center,
residential and retail spaces, a hotel, public spaces, a garage, fire station and a new city
hall. The Schoolhouse Museum and Children Learning Center will remain and the
Boynton Beach City Library will receive upgrades in association with the construction of
a new city hall. The focus would be on the playground. Ms. South introduced Mayor
Steven Grant.
Mayor Grant indicated he was extremely excited about the meeting. This meeting was
for citizens input about the Kid's Kingdom Park. He introduced Vice Mayor Justin Katz,
Tim Howard Assistant City Attorney, Wally Majors Director of Parks and Recreation,
Jeffery Livergood Director of Public Works, Eleanor Krusell Communication Manager,
City Attorney James Cherof, Joseph Paterniti Interim Utility Director, Rebecca Harvey
Sustainability Coordinator, Craig Clark Library Director, and Mark Hefferin, President
E21- Real Estate Solutions, LLC. He was looking forward to citizens' input.
Ms. South introduced Baker Barrios Inc., Wayne Dunkelberger, Creative Director, Beth
Bartlett, Master Planner, Grace Harrison, Landscape Architect, Sharon Merchant
President of Merchant Strategy.
Grace Harrison, Landscape Architect, noted she was honored to be a part of the team
to help with the design of the new park with Wayne Dunkelberger, Creative Director,
working on the overall Master Plan, and Beth Bartlett, Master Planner with more than 10
years experience.
Ms. Harrison indicated the reason to be present was to help the citizens of Boynton
Beach to get ideas and to brain storm what can be done with Kid's Kingdom Park. She
wants to have some History of the existing Kid's Kingdom Playground, as well as
provide some current trends and research in playground design. Ms. Harrison stated
that the input from the public was very important; this was a park for the community.
She needed to know what type of parks would be acceptable, what the community
would like to keep, what can be refurbished or repurposed.

Jeff Livergood, Director of Public Works, indicated the reason the community was
included tonight was to provide ideas about replacing Kid's Kingdom Playground. He
said this was a much larger scale project. This meeting was about Kid's Kingdom only.
There would be other opportunities to speak to the architectural as well as the open
space in the future. He noted that the site planning process will follow the normal
practices of the City. It will go through the Planning and Development Board and then to
the City Commission for approval. Mr. Livergood said the opportunity to comment on the
overall site plan and the buildings and their placement will be available to the citizens at
a different meeting. The meeting's focus was on Kid's Kingdom Park. Mr. Livergood
said that the park was built with volunteer efforts. Leathers Associates facilitated the
process for the park in 1992. He said there was a lot of love and effort put into the park.
The park was designed in 1992; the standards have since changed. He was
responsible for the maintenance for the facility. There were some structural concerns
with some of the equipment. The playground needs to be replaced. The life of a
playground was 20 years; this playground has reached its end of life. Anything that
would be built now will need to be replaced in 20 years. He was looking forward to
replacing the park. The existing playground was made from the first generation recycled
timbers. At that time the material was top of the line. The materials being used today are
much better. The new element that was being worked into the design was a safety
issue. He was looking forward to replacing elements of the park.
Ms. Harrison indicated the designers would reuse some of the pieces from the existing
park. She said some of the pieces could be used as memorial pieces, which was a
statement of the community. The design parameter for the new playground would focus
on safety and visibility (no hiding spots). She indicated the reuse and repurposing of
some of the elements would be great. She continued to say that Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design (CPTED) was a multi -disciplinary approach to deterring
criminal behavior through environmental design. CPTED strategies rely upon the ability
to influence offender decisions that precede criminal acts. Generally speaking, most
implementations of CPTED occur solely within the urbanized, built environment.
Beth Bartlett, asked the question, what was play? She explained play was a very
important part of a child's development. She explained play was voluntary, pleasurable,
and non -literal; it was make believe. Play was linked to cognitive, social and physical
development in children. There are three different types of play. The first was social
play. With social play kids learn to be adults, they lean to negotiate, they learn to take
turns, and they see relationship with diverse groups of people. Children have peer- to -
peer play. The second was pretend play, begins as early as 12 months, pretend to be a
person or object or something else. This was the beginning of language skills, self-
regulation, creativity and social understanding. The next was physical. With this type of
play the CDC recommends kids get 60 minutes of play per day. It supports their gross
motor development; it helps them to be healthy. She explained that schools are limiting
physical education, kids are over scheduled. She continued to say that children have
passive entertainment, such as computers and cell telephones.

Ms. Harrison presented three design ideas for the park. The Traditional Wood, Modern
Ropes, Colorful Modular. She believes the Traditional Wood was similar to what was
currently installed at Kids Park. This was recycled lumber and would be cool to the
touch. Custom pieces would have a natural feel. The next was the Modern Ropes kids
enjoy climbing and getting a different view. The color modular pieces, these are easily
maintained. These are plug and play, cool to the touch. All can be themed.
Susan Oyer, 140 SE 27 Way, requested clarification regarding the name Kapok Park.
Was this the actual name or was that the name that was being assigned in the planning
stage. Ms. Harrison said that this was being assigned as a place holder. Ms. Oyer said
that she would have thought that this would be Kid's Kingdom Park or Castle Park. Ms.
Harrison explained the blue area was Kid's Kingdom and the other area was the Kapok
Park.
Ms. Bartlett explained that Kapok Park was located west of the High School. The name
Kapok was chosen because of the large Kapok tree. She explained this was a separate
area from the park.
Ms. Oyer indicated that most of the people would like to keep the castle. The ship was
decaying and needed to be sunk. She said maybe some small memorial for the ship
would be okay. Ms. Harrison asked if Ms. Oyer could clarify what she means by the
Castle. Ms. Oyer explained the part that looks like a castle. Ms. Harrison asked if by the
Castle she meant the moat and the entrance to the castle, or did she mean the vertical
elements. Ms. Oyer said the turrets on top, the red parts that look like a castle.
Ms. Oyer stated her assumption was that the material would be a combination of wood
and or a modern MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) or modular plastic or a combination
of all. She wanted to make sure that the pieces would be cool. The next thing was the
boat area; visibility was nonexistent. When this is built, maybe a small boat that had
more viability would be better. Ms Oyer also said a fountain would be nice, something
like they have on Clematis. She continued to say have some type of whimsical art in
the fountain area. There should be some night lighting. Solar LED (Light Emitting Diode)
and need to have something in the daytime to cool off. Please use the LED lights at
night. Please do not use cool white; cool white interferes with the sleep rhythm. Need to
have something around the perimeter, some type of benches, so that the homeless do
not sleep there. Maybe something that would allow the parents to exercise as well.
There could be some type of a movement station. Anything that was being done should
be whimsical.
Ms. Harrison said she agreed. She wants families to enjoy and return.
Former Commissioner, David Katz said he was one of the five people that worked on
the park in 1993. He still has his original notes. Of all the designs that were shown, the
only one that comes close was the traditional wood. He said the City needed to keep
the pickets. This would be the traditional wood recycled lumber, make sure that those

pickets stay and the monument signs. Many people were involved with the design of the
park. The City needs to keep the integrity of what it looks like now. He stated people
purchased those pickets and they should remain some place.
Ms. Harrison stated there were many ways in order to memorialize and repurpose some
of the items at the park.
Ginny Foot, said her concern was about safety. The park needs to have separate
areas for the older kids; they play too rough for the younger ones. She said someone
will get hurt.
Ms. Harrison noted she would look at that in the site plan design.
Alan Hendricks, 122 SE 4 Avenue, added some conceptual comments. There is a
place called Delray Beach Children's Gardens. There is an educational element to the
gardens. It was a very cool concept; it was a playground as well as a garden. Shade
sails, if there was a boat. What would it look like at night? Could you make it attractive
at night; since this would be in the center of Town Square? He continued, exercise for
the parents was a good ideal. They bring in art and music at the Delray Gardens.
Ms. Harrison loved that idea. There are many restaurants that are promoting herb
gardens, as landscape architect or butterfly gardens. She liked the educational piece.
Jim Knight, 740 Havana Drive, said that it was really important to interview some of the
children that use the park. Ms. Harrison said that was a great idea. She spoke with staff
and they said that the park was being used as a day camp.
Barbara Ready, 329 SW 13 Avenue, indicated that there was an opportunity for the
playground equipment that could serve a dual purpose. A splash pad could serve as
public art. The other thing as far as safety, the fence was not high enough. The pickets
can be saved. One of the other concerns, would be the ground cover; they do not like
the mulch. They like the rubber floors. The City could light the fountain at night. Ms.
Ready said, if the City ran out of money for the playground; the City could use some
recycled tires.
Ms. Harrison said that these are great ideas.
Ms. Ready wanted the City to get the community involved. The benches were for
parents to sit and watch the kids. This could be mosaic. The City could seek donations
for the park. Ms. Harrison said that it was easy to put in a raised bar on the benches,
they could also incorporate art into the design of the playground.
Rodrigo Silverio, 10 Velaire Drive, asked if there were any safe and secure restroom
facilities incorporated into the plans.

Deb Myers, 115 South Seacrest, indicted the only thing that she would add; the
children can leave the area. She likes the traditional wood as well.
Vice Mayor Katz, noted that he was going along with what had been said. There has to
be an effort to infuse some type of nautical theme into the playground. He said that the
City was known as the Gateway to the Gulf Stream. The City was trying to market itself
as a coastal area. He continued to say the designers need to get weird in the way that
children think. Think like a child, what was cool. Infuse the coastal village vibe. Maybe
taking those horses and making them into a seahorse something as simple as that. Try
to make this a part of a theme. If you really look around, that is not much of a coastal
element. He thinks that there should be some coastal elements at the playground. The
building was limited, but for the playground the designers can be creative.
Ms. Harrison stated they must get in the mind of the user; the children are the users of
the park.
Nicole Scott, NE 6 Avenue, said her kids love the Castle Park. She does not go
because she cannot find her kids. She indicated she loved everyone's idea. She loved
the idea of the Castle Park, because she can find her kids at one time. She loves Vice
Mayor Katz's idea about the nautical theme. She suggested to lower things, so that the
children could be found easier. Ms. Scott stated she has two boys who would love the
opportunity to add their art to the park.
Mike Simon 714 Hillcrest Road, the City needs to incorporate some of the ideals of
nautical themes and incorporate passive skate board element. This could be used as a
dual age purpose.
Ms. Harrison communicated it is excellent when everyone can utilize the park.
Ilysia Shattuck, 57 Egret Way, as a parent she stopped going to some of the parks
because we could not find the children. She loves the red park, across from the
Children's museum. We have a lot of natural shade. Her daughter gave her a list of
what she wanted the park to have: lots of swings, slides, rock climbing, open green
field, water to keep her cool. Her son wanted a rocket ship.
Candice Brueggemann 713 SE 4 Street, the playground should not be moved. Add a
splash park. It would be great if the existing park was restored.
Ms. Bartlett read into the minutes: "Mother of two, please install playground, low picnic
tables, add a fence, shade, landscape to attract squirrels, some type of water fountain.
Please do not use Astroturf."
Rick Maharajh, 1627 Centonia Drive, would love to see fusion between the Disney
castle and the nautical theme. Have tons of LED lights. He asked what was being done
5

for children with special needs. He would love to see a lunch and learn. He said bring
the kids in to see what they have to say about the park.
Mike Fitzpatrick recalled the boat was fashioned after the NINA, to commemorate
Christopher Columbus's anniversary. Mr. Fitzpatrick wanted to state that the end of life
for the castle was 100 years. When the playground was built it was known that the
other elements in the park would need to be replaced around the castle. The castle was
the focal point. The idea was that the castle would stay and the other elements could be
replaced. If you look at the castle it does not have any type of decay. He also stated
that he wants to save those trees in this area, the trees provide shade. The children can
climb the trees. He indicated there were two sections in the castle, one for older children
and one for younger children.
Commissioner Romelus indicated she would like to see Kid's Kingdom maintain its
original structure. She said being a mother she understands the struggle with trying to
locate a child at the park. She would like to see more openness, so we can see the kids;
love the originality of that structure. In Delray Beach, they had a park that resembled
Kid's Kingdom. A few months ago, it became blue plastic. She does not want this to
happen at Kid's Kingdom. She would like to see the spongy ground instead of the
mulch. Ms. Harrison said that was a lesson learned about mulch.
Dominique Natalie would like to know if the City can provide areas for sensory play.
The park should be wheel chair friendly. Have an area a little bit higher, not just for
toddlers.
Susan Oyer, 140 SE 27 Way, said to maintain the nautical theme, there was a way to
incorporate both. She said why not whimsical ocean animals, like a seahorse knight.
Ms. Oyer said that the castle would be there for another 80 years. What about a castle
by the ocean. Maybe add a color scheme.
Nicole Scott asked about separating children by ages. She also said making sure all
children were included. Make sure that the park was ADA compliant
Barbara Ready wanted to save the green space. There was already a bathroom
available. She said as far as a theme, the City has a pirate festival every year. She
said she needed to see the plans for the park.
Ms. Bartlett said it was possible on the west side; this was what was being called Kapok
Park. It was possible to make the splash pad in the area west of the old school. She
added there could be movies in the park, shade structures, also interactive art, along
with some of the other interactive pieces. Ms. Harrison said there could be lighting of
the fountain and the other water pieces.
Susan Oyer, noted the Historic High School was looking to become an event center.
She was thinking some type of French doors, some type of patio area, nice walk way so

that the City can rent this area out to make some money. Having an event space would
be appropriate. The Water Park needs to go next to Kid's Kingdom. The space next to
the Historic High School should be more elegant, to attract investors. The City can have
some solar trees; in the evening these can light up the area. She found a beautiful
statue, which shifts. We could use the City logo.
Barbara Ready said she would like to see a restaurant in the Old High School. She
would also like to see fencing in the area. Ms. Ready indicated the City could repurpose
some of the slate boards in the Old High School.
Ms. South thanked everyone for coming and indicated this information would be on the
City's website, and #TownsquareBoyntonBeach. There are two more public meetings
coming up , August 17, 2017 and August 24, 2017 from 5:30pm to 7:30 pm. A job fair
has been scheduled for, Tuesday August 22, 2017.
