What is wrong with a kayak launch? Sounds like a great idea!

Hopefully no drone flying, no playing fields and no playing courts, no concession stands. Just nature please - walking, hiking, running, sitting.

Just nature on top of a dump? Down wind from a treatment plant?

Do the most for the largest group in need - Menlo needs more fields!

I'm neutral on the dog park (too many dog owners are twits), but blocking a kayak launch? Really? Human powered boats are quiet, non-polluting, and an excellent way to explore the local shoreline.

Is the parks commission deathly afraid somebody, somewhere, might be having fun?

It's well known in the conservation community that Kirsten Keith is pushing the kayak launch. The parks and recreation commission took extensive feedback from residents and stakeholders and recommended against it.
