City of Morgan Hill Bikeways, Trails, Parks and Recreation Master Plan

Chapter 2: Existing Conditions and Community Needs

YOUTH WORKSHOP

On July 19, 2016, the Morgan Hill Youth Action Council hosted a workshop with the project team to receive input from teens in the community. There were about 40 participants. The teens were asked to identify their priority investments in three of Morgan Hill’s frequently used neighborhood parks— Nordstrom, Paradise, and Diana. The results point to improvements that can help to make parks more engaging for teens, including:

• Add more drinking fountains, trash cans, and trees in Diana Park.

• Add restrooms to Nordstrom and Paradise Parks.

• Add interesting seating to Diana and Nordstrom park.

• Integrate dynamic play elements such as climbing walls, parkour features, and exercise equipment.
