At Wilson Park, there is a wooded garden. This is a wonderful place to
hammock, but not when it's harmful to the trees. Instead of prohibiting
these hammockers from enjoying their local neighborhood park, I want
to give them a way to enjoy themselves while also protecting the trees.
With your permission, I want to fund and install 6 steel poles in the
forest of Wilson Park.

We will have two of these signs at the

They will be secured on T posts that I will
Welcome to the Wilson Park Woodland Garden! install.
While this spot appears to be a wild woodland, it is
actually a well maintained space containing native
plants and trees.
If you are looking for a quiet place to hammock, we
have provided three sets of steel hammock posts
for your convenience.
Please help us preserve the health of our trees and
only anchor your hammock to the provided sets of
metal posts. Repeated hammocking, especially on
smaller trees and without proper padding to protect
their bark, can damage and weaken or kill trees.
Also remember to leave minimal impact to help
preserve the beauty of this park. Be a kind and
courteous steward by making sure that all trash and
personal items are cleaned up and packed out.
I Q-1/

am blessed enough to have my
own resources so I will need
nothing but your approval from the
city, in terms of assistance.
plan to begin and complete all construction over the weekends of these
dates:August 14, 21, 28.
My team will begin construction on Friday afternoon and complete the project
by Monday evening so that the concrete has enough time to settle before
refilling the holes with dirt.
Friday, we will spend the day cleaning the project location and surrounding
area of the park.
Saturday, we will dig the holes, pour the cement, and implant the poles into
their appointed locations.
Sunday, we will allow the cement to settle and dry.
Monday, my team will fill in the holes and clean the surrounding area of any
debris.
Thank you for your time, and have
a wonderful night.
