For Meeting of: March 28, 2017 ITEM TITLE: Miller Park SUBMITTED BY: Scott Schafer, Public Works Director, 509-576-6411 Ken Wilkinson, Parks and Recreation Manager, 509-576-6416 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: Miller Park was established in 1923 and is located between 3rd Street and 4th Street north of E Street in northeast Yakima. The park is 3.96 acres and named in memory of Alexander Miller. The park has a spray park, 4 basketball courts, a picnic shelter, a performance area, playground, mature shade trees, picnic tables and benches. The Miller Park swimming pool was closed and removed in 2005. Annual estimated maintenance costs for the park are $40,000, which includes weekly mowing, irrigation, electricity, water for the spray park, portable toilet rental, fertilization and weed control, repair and maintenance of the spray park, trash removal and tree maintenance. Revenue from picnic shelter reservations is minimal. Improvements to the park have been made in recent years. Most significantly was the removal of the deteriorating pool bathhouse in 2016. Further possible improvements to the park are another picnic shelter, restroom, walkways, new park identification sign, resurfacing of the basketball courts, additional benches and a playground. Currently, the basketball courts need to be resurfaced. The playground is safe for play, but will need to be replaced in a few years. The old sand pit volleyball court has been removed and all of the trees have been trimmed to improve the sightlines into the park. All of the lights within the park have recently been upgraded to more efficient LED lights. Seven concerts are planned for the summer on Sunday afternoons. A donation of $4,000 has been pledged for a new 5 week summer playground day camp program. Additional revenue will be needed to fully fund this program for children ages 5 - 11. The First Tee of Yakima is considering providing a program in the park this summer as well. The Yakima Police Department has conducted a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) analysis of the park. Joe Willis, Executive Director for the YPAL program at the Washington Fruit Community Center is in the process of planning and providing additional programs for the community. ITEM BUDGETED: No STRATEGIC PRIORITY: Neighborhood and Community Building APPROVED FOR SUBMITTAL: ~City Manager STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that improvements to the park be made over the next five years as Parks Capital funds and donated funds become available. Staff also recommends that additional programs and recreation opportunities be implemented in the park as funds and partnerships become available.

Bowersox / Officer Sam Masters Telephone: (509)575-6200 Person Requesting Audit: City Of Yakima Parks and Recreation / Yakima City Council Miller Park is located in Northeast Yakima at 502 North 41 Street. It is centrally located in the district and houses the YPAL program in the building that is located on the property. The park has a good history of use with the public which had likely declined since the removal of the swimming pool. The park can still be a popular area for picnics, relaxation, get-togethers and for kids using the water spray activities, as well as other actives. Unfortunately the area has become quite popular for use by homeless persons and other persons not appropriately using the park for its intended purposes. Between 2012 and 2016 there has been 533 calls for service and 602 overall police responses to Miller Park. These call range from everything to animal complaints to sex offenses to homicide. A high percentage of calls and incidents are suspicious persons/circumstances which are usually involving homeless activity, drug activity, intoxicated persons, fights, gang activity etc. In comparison, Kissel Park had 276 calls, Milroy Park had 199, and Raymond Park had 89. Kissel has more to offer the public. Milroy and Raymond Parks are generally similar in size and activity to Miller yet produce far less calls for service. Miller Park is located in a high crime area well known to the surrounding citizens as an area not really safe feeling. The park has great potential to be revitalized and become a safe -feeling hub of numerous activities in the area. .....................

Surveillance 3. Territorial Reipf9reement 4. L& Properly located entrances, exits, fencing, landscaping and lighting can direct both foot and motor vehicle traffic in ways that discourage crime. The entire park is open and easily accessed from all sides by any person. This has caused the ease of entry for all people who are entering the park to engage in unwanted behavior. It becomes a common cut - through for persons, drinking, fighting or loitering drunk. There is no lighting at night which enables the use of the park for criminal activity. Vehicle traffic is not an apparent issue. Generally, criminals do not want to be seen. Placing physical features, activities and people in ways that minimize the ability to see what is going on discourages crime. Landscaping and lighting are two methods used to provide natural surveillance. In the daytime the park is open and easily observed. At this time it is considered common by most surrounding citizens to see people in the park that are using it for inappropriate use more than seeing a vibrant area en oyed by the public. Lighting at night is non-existent making the area inviting to the criminal element. Changes recommended will likely increase the overall inviting and safe feeling as well incorporating practices known toreduce crime. Maintaining the natural surveillance that is already present, such as the tree canopy height, as well as keeping this in mind while implementing new concepts, such as shrubs is recommended. Organized surveillance such as the Police Department's summer park patrols are also recommended. The use of mechanical surveillance such as proper lighting, is highly recommended. oil 11 Territorial behavior refers to people's sense of ownership in the area. Territorial reinforcement us physical attributes to express this ownership. In the case of the public park it should be a goal to express the ownership in the area by those who use it. It should be made to feel that the public 'owns' the park. That it an area provided by the City for their use and enjoyment. It appears at thii time that the majority of 'ownership' is felt by those who are using it inappropriately. With fenc signage and other recommendations this can be turned around. I tarae ++ easar.ae Lighting is a major factor in CPTED. It has two major functions. One is the use of lighting for the illumination of human activity and the other is for use in security. Neither of these purposes are achieved in Miller Park. There is no lighting at night, making the main area of the park very dark anit. unsafe as well as a security barrier for the public and Law Enforcement. This is one of the most important recommendations in this survey and should be considered as a high priority. Lack of addressing this matter wilt continue the public feeling of being unsafe in the area and could result in liability to property owners into the millions of dollars as well, as seen in case law such as Chau v. Southstar Equity and Estate of Kevin Hayes v. 717 Parking, where millions was awarded due to security negligence by way of insufficient lighting. I Entrapment Zones (alley ways, entrance ways): IN! Activity Generators (parking lots, corner stores, parks, benches, bus stops): Community Impact (type of buildings around the site, existing land use): The alley at the northeast of the park, behind the YPAL building is an entrapment or concealment zone that allows ease of criminal concealment and access to the park. q�1�1�11��111�pq I if 111 I Ij Jr There are very few activity generators in the park. The park is mainly an open area with a couple shelters, basketball courts, a playground and water spray area. It appears that a volleyball court is being removed. Recommendations will include several activity generators that are intended to encourage more use of all types. I The community impact of Miller Park at this time seems to be more negative than positive. This can be turned around with consideration some of the proceeding recommendations. nothing further into the park. The lighting that was on in the parking lot faced the lot and glared into the vision of persons, making it difficult to see beyond the light and into the park. Lighting should be on a motion sensor status. This will allow the area to be lit at night when human activity is in the area. Area resiI ents may become alerted to light activation and may be able to observe and report any activity. It will also allow quick response by Officers in the area alerted to the activity via the motion light activation. Light should be multiple angle, which is the best lighting for 'real' viewing and in which every angle is a good viewing angle. LED lighting is also helpful in identification with more true clothing color and physical identification, and usually more cost effective. A large part of making Miller Park a community asset will be the integration of activity generators. These are the attributes that draw in the normal user. In this case there are very few things that attract users to the park for its desired use by the owner, in this case the City. A design concept has been drafted which gives great examples of these generators that will increase usage. Elimination of at least one basketball court to be replaced by a mini soccer court is an excellent idea. Walkways are another good idea. They can be casual and through the park or designed with more specific intent. The walkways at other parks are used a great deal. To border the park in as. pathway will draw those that walk and jog. Incorporating exercise stations along the way promotes wellness and also attracts users. Signage as to distance around the 'lap' is also helpful. Incorporation of an improved volleyball court is also a well -used activity generator. Implementing areas of open benches and some tables, shelters and even stand-alone BBQ stations also draw many normal users, as well as just open grass areas for blanket relaxation. Secured restrooms, are also a good thing to consider. The building should have open faced entry with no isolation zones to hide behind. Also to be lit at all time and secured at night. It is not recommended to use the building for any type of storage on site as it will simply attract those to break in. LED wallpack lighting should be used on all 4 sides with illumination downward and out. It should be a canopy wallpack that will not glare into the eyes of the person looking into the area. This would allow observation and identification whereas glare will do no good. Inside the celebrated entrance on an existing pad should be an area considered child specific for craft stations etc. A performance area would be better suited on the northeast area of the park and similar to a mini version of that which is at Franklin Park. Any fixed utility stations such as the one on the north side near the shelter, should be painted or wrapped. It should be considered to dedicate a certain number of trash receptacles that can also be painted or wrapped. The wraps as seen in the city on signal boxes etc, may contain an anti -graffiti substance to it for easy maintenance. It may also be considered to paint the restroom building. To integrate community culture designs will be well accepted in the area. Sean Hawkins could factate this through the Arts Commission. This idea is a community —pleaser and graffiti deterrent. Uurther community involvement in the park will also increase interest and involvement in the YPAL [mrogram in the existing building. Further exposure may increase volunteers and participants in the programs which will also add to the Police emphasis patrols, normal patrols and park patrols will aid in crime deterrence as well. When normal users occupy the park, criminals tend to stay away. Using these concept recommendations will not eliminate crime but will likely reduce the numbers and types of criminal activity. It will also give the cI mmunity back its sense of ownership over the park instead of the criminal element who seems to control it now. The idea will promote further and frequent use of the park by normal users and can turn Miller Park into a hub of activity and community pride. .. .... .... ..... ..... . ...... ......... ...... ..... ...... ..... ......... . ......
