. >> hi, my name is chuck, i'm native san franciscoen, i have two little kids, 5-year-old, 10-year-oldtarted mclaren park because there were five missing -- i'm talking on item d, the playground renovation. one of the reasons we formed, there was no playgrounds there for kids. and we were asked to see if we could get a playground at an area that was smaller because we didn't have the money to put a larger playground at the group picnic area. we started with the toddler playground, we worked hard to fund, and we applied for grants and have now that small playground is that successful, but the whole reason we started to help mclaren park was to have a playground for older kids, all ages at the group picnic area which is where this playground is being built. it's a beautiful design, i can be swayed to approve it, be for it, but there is a lot of missing elements. i think there should be more for kids. when they're there, there is going to be groups of kids, there is not much there. with rec and park help and outside monetary help we might be able to make this a great playground. right now

the recreation survey shows san franciscoens view walking and biking as the most important feature ofrks. i'm happy there is a rerouting and closure of redundant trails that scar the park. the building of trail will come with destruction of the dwindling natural resources. people in crowded urban spaces need them to provide them with an escape. equally important is that the natural resources are a haven before biodiversity, birds, bees, bugs, salamanders and other critters that live among us. it's critical that any destruction caused by the wonderful trails be mitigated by careful restoration of native plants, grass and natural areas. we cannot give invasive weeds a foothold. why? they have not adapted to them. a study shows that over 90% of insect species with plant species and group of related plant species, these insects have not had a chance to develop a tolerance for the chemical defenses in plants, like mustard and radish that thrive in the disturbed soils. i urge you to plant california wild flowers along the trail and bunch grassesry with deeply -- which are deeply rooted and
