We use the space to swim,
playgrounds, and would love a
splash pad
A kayak launch area would be nice
I would love a dog off-leash year-
round beach. We had one in Chicago
and it was one of our favorite places.
More dog friendly places for sure.

Other Comments:
I’ve always wanted to have indoor
fields. There used to be one in
Plymouth but it closed, and now
there is nowhere to play soccer in
winter. I know it would be a very
expensive investment, but it would
be a great space for the kids of
Barnstable.
