how do we keep boeddeker park safe? we have this wonderful activation, we have this positive activation going on but we have to keep this park safe and we need to keep it clean and fun. it works well for a park. but the security and safety approach to this was complicated and it's really a series of layers of safety that go into making this. the first layer is the park design. what they did was they made this clear and open. they made the fence that it was visibility from the street all the way through so police and authorities could look through the park to see it was clear. the clubhouse is designed so if you are in any space other than the storage, you can look right through the park. the building in the corner is now next to the clubhouse. when you walk to the park, you walk by those windows and we have cameras, we have lighting and they are designed so it flashes down and doesn't create a nuisance as well. we started there. the second layer is part of activation. we are looking at this as being the most active and
