• A community garden is needed. Kids need to grow plants.
• Bike paths including bike lanes along roads
• We need a better bike park
• We need a fishing pond
• FOLF Course (Frisbee Golf)
• Community Garden! (Already established & would love a permanent spot)
• I think we really need a new cement skate park.  We have a lot of talent & would appreciate it.  A really cool Idea for it would be like the sandy salt lake skatepark combined with the draper utah skate park
• thank you for your time
• I think we need a new skate park kind of like sandy salt lake city skate park
• Dog Park!  So dog owners can meet & their dogs can play.  I moved here from a city that had several & I went regularly - great socialization for my new puppy.  The Dog Park Group has been looking for property for years & I’ve lived here 5, so at least that long.
• We need a dog park!!!
• Connect the Steinaker Trail across Hwy 40 & extend the trail north & south
• to promote people’s increasing awareness of responsible pet ownership, reserve 5 acres of Kay property for a DOG PARK
• Where are re-cycling stations for plastic bottles? cans?
• I would love to see the bike park/ skate park moved over to the rec center for better surveillance.  most of the problems I see with the bike park vandalism is because of poor location.  I would also like to see a dirt jump park for the bikes.  The cost of construction is low and I believe it teaches the youth to work for their reward of riding because if they don’t take care of ti and work on them then they won’t be able to ride.  I think a half acre to three quarters of an acre would be plenty of room and give the kids ample room and supervision that the current park is lacking.  I have been a sponsored athlete in the past.  I know what it takes to make it in this sport and it isn’t easy  I believe with the backing of the community that we have the talent in this town to make some stand out athletes.  Also parks like these draw people in to the community helping the economy and improving tourism in our town.  Vernal, UT is a huge community in biking with the single track trails.  People would come here to ride as well if we had a quality park  Thank you 
• I would love to see a dirt jump park for (bmx, Mountain Bikes) in our community.  Also it would be nice if it  was near or at the Rec Center.  Good wholesome family fun and exercise! I would do anything I could to help make this happen.  A new cement bike/skate park would be nice as well.  The dirt park seems to me more acceptable quickly because of cost.  Would be a good place to spend my Friday nights and weekends!  I love this town & Community and have some talant when it comes to bikes help us make this happen Thank You!   If their is anything I can do please ask I would be more than happy to help!
• outdoor pool
• Community garden needs a a permanent home.  This would be a highly visible location & readily accessible to all.  Many residents are not able to grow their own garden, but want fresh, local produce
• I would love to reserve the integrity of the water feature/stream running diagonally through this 79-acre property.  Maybe a walking path on either side of the stream with periodic arched bridges? That would be so cool!I love the water features at SLC, Liberty Park.  The model watershed play park & The water squirters in the playground
• MORE TREES !
• I love the mulch jogging trail & skating/biking (smooth) tail around the SLC Liberty Park trail
• ART installations
• MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC
• Rotary Park in MOAB  has amazing musical instruments
• Trail System connecting parks & Existing trails*

• Community Garden!

• Community Garden!
• Frisbee golf course - we have to travel to Craig for frisbee golf now.  Surely if Craig can put in a frisbee golf course, Vernal should be able to.
• Vernal is becoming more of a tourist area for many things including biking.  I think it would be great to have some bike paths and walking paths.  Vernal is beautiful and you could sure case it better and create more memorable tourist trips if they could easily & beautifully see Vernal.
• Ditto/\ County wide bike/ run path that are separate from roads & not rock chipped.  Racquetball & tennis.
• Hiking Trail system is extensive very funNeed racquetball courts and frisbee golf courses

• Plan bike paths across continuous corridors North and South through Vernal!
• A fishing pond (Utah Fish and game has funds to build a fishing pond and will stock the pond for public use.We need a skate park.  The children love to skate board, so many little towns have a skate board park, why not us?
• Community garden would be great and a good addition for VernalHave a new bike park for people that ride.  Because our bike park is all broke and we need a new one.
• We need a new bike park.  Concrete would be better because it doesn’t break as easy.  We have a lot of talent and need a better park.
• We need a frisbee golf course!
• community garden, open park w/ lots of trees.  Free splash park
• Dog park, skate park community gardencorn maze (ha- Bluebell folks would not like this!)
• We will like a new bike park cause there’s a lot of kids who ride bikes
• New skatepark!!
• It would be nice to have a permanent bike/skate concrete park in a location close to the rec center for over site supervision
• Love the idea of providing outdoor recreation opportunities for all ages, as the present Rec Center does.  To that end, skate park (kids), community garden (kids & adults), dog park (adults & kids), & other possibilities would blend well for LIFETIME enjoyment of outdoors.  In other words, its not just about the sports!
• Would love a new skatepark/ bikepark.  There are a lot of people that ride I think it would be a good thing for everyone.  There’s a lot of locals that would put in the time to help with dirtjumps as well.

• A frisbee golf course in Vernal would be awesome!
• Equestrian Path
• a community garden would be a great Legacy for Vernal
