Public Comments: • Contemplative space(s) • Plantings incorporated into hardscape • 4 season hardscape • provide many community spaces • create multi-use spaces that accommodate but are not
limited to food trucks, markets, craft fairs, concerts, movies, etc.
• the increase in dog population must be addressed • the stone wall along Western Ave stands as a distinctive
feature of both Smith Playground and Allston as a whole • portable toilet locations need to be defined • the playground must be beautiful and fun for children and
their parents • the amphitheater must be carefully designed to provide
adequate performance space for the community it serves • there needs to be a permeable edge between the street and
community spaces
