I especially like the idea of (legal) camping options and an on-site caretaker in residence. Having a CSA right there would be amazing as well. Option 2 is winning slightly in that regard although the loss of flush toilets at the Pioneer Way entrance is a bummer.

on 5/10/2011 @ 7:57pm		Hi all - Next month Metro Parks will develop a preferred option for Swan Creek. Please take the online survey at: www.metroparkstacoma.org/page.php?id=636... You can also review background reports and see ideas that others - including lots of kids - have shared.

The preferred option will undoubtedly be a combination of the three options shown - a little of this option, a little of that one.

Thanks for sharing your all your ideas!!
