Becerra, Alexis <br /> From: Elizabeth Bausman < <br /> Sent: Tuesday, May 5, 2026 4:15 PM <br /> To: eComment <br /> Subject: Washington Square Neighborhood Park <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> My name is Elizabeth Bennett-Bausman and I live in Washington Square Neighborhood within Ward 5. 1 urge <br /> you to seriously consider the area between Lowell and Olive, and 151h and 17th for a walkable neighborhood <br /> park. Our neighborhood does not have any other vacant space that can be used for a park. Over the 35+ <br /> years we have lived in Washington Square that area has been talked about for a park several times. Most of <br /> the time the owners were not open to selling or the selling price was too high. Now it seems that both of <br /> those are coming together in a positive light to where the long awaited park could be a reality. Our <br /> neighborhood is one of the few in Santa Ana that does not have any place for our children to play, our families <br /> to enjoy outdoor exercise and games or to sit and visit, even a quiet place to enjoy nature and read. Our <br /> children are deserving of having a place to call their own and to be proud of. The infrastructure needed to <br /> make this a pleasant, welcoming place would not be much. Upkeep would be minimal as there would be no <br /> parking or facilities needed. But it would provide our families with a place where we could welcome friends <br /> and family members and enjoy some tranquility in the midst of a busy city. Please add this space to the City's <br /> Master Parks Plan. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Elizabeth Bennett-Bausman <br /> <br /> <br /> Washington Qquare Resident <br /> i <br />
