Kensington is not known for having many playgrounds or much public space for neighbors to get together. It makes it even more important that what we have is as well designed as can possibly be, and welcoming to all residents.
When our councilmember Brad Lander announced that Dome Playground has been allocated resources for capital improvements ($650,000 recently approved in the NYC budget with an additional $300,000 from the Boro President Marty Markowitz), Jole and I thought it needed to have as much public input as we could help muster.
Jole Carliner contacted Project for Public Spaces who helped to come up with a survey to better understand how the playground is used, and what could be improved. Then - with amazing dedication, she went out and asked folks to fill out the surveys and so far we have over 60 responses from people using the playground. But we'd like to do better than that.
Even if you don't regularly use the playground, do take a few seconds and tells us why. And if you do go to the playground - say hi to Jole, who'll be asking folks to fill out the questionnaires on the spot.
UPDATE: We believe it is working as should now. Here is the link, and thanks again! https://spreadsheets3.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGI5VnlaQ2RnRXEzdU5VYl...
