There is nothing to attract people to this area. I see it as similar to Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square, which had so much to do with reviving the downtown area. A park at this location could do the same for Newport, which has the ugliest stretch of Hwy 101 on the coast. Every town needs a "living room" for gatherings, celebrations, and a restful place; this could be Newport's!

]]> Sat, 1 Oct 2016 09:01:23 UTC 20682757 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20669427?utm_medium=rss 101 in that area certainly needs beautification and a multipurpose public use park would be beneficial to residents.

]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2016 11:47:36 UTC 20605597 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20605200?utm_medium=rss The park makes more sense than a parking lot a block away from the rec/pool building. And may actually make a couple of bucks for the City.

]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2016 11:40:03 UTC 20605200 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20601006?utm_medium=rss Secure an Indoor/Outdoor Farmer's Market. The same place year around. Out of the Rain and Wind. Beautification of Downtown Newport. Newport has a long standing in supporting the Arts. Do Sea Vessels Life, Marine Life, Coastal Life, etc Murals in Downtown Newport, first. Then, expanding up and down Hwy 101 & 20. Towns have done murals increase their tourism. Help costs with donated new or recycled paint. Need Bright Cheerful Colors. Support the Yaquina Tribes as Waldport has done with their first mural along Hwy 101.

]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2016 10:28:50 UTC 20601006 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20599214?utm_medium=rss I'd like to see native species trees & shrubs, groundcovers, flowers, etc planted in any new city/town park. Trees would also act as a bit of a noise & exhaust fume buffer for the residences and businesses just east of 101 in that area.

]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2016 09:59:45 UTC 20599214 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20595594?utm_medium=rss I think this is an incredible idea, and a great opportunity to open a venue in Newport for music.

Please bring us a park instead!

]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2016 04:30:58 UTC 20586556 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20583052?utm_medium=rss I vote yes for a Newport city park in that location.

]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2016 01:05:33 UTC 20583052 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20582947?utm_medium=rss A city park is all positive for Newports overall tourist appeal.

aesthetic feature for our downtown!!

]]> Fri, 23 Sep 2016 07:20:45 UTC 20405260 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20399082?utm_medium=rss A park would be a nice addition to a nice looking town....I haven't ever had a hard time parking in this town, except at Fred Meyers on a rainy day.

]]> Fri, 23 Sep 2016 10:11:01 UTC 20399082 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20398111?utm_medium=rss Newport's Downtown is disgracefully unattractive. Visitors driving through would have no desire to explore Newport further. That area needs vast improvement. A park in that area with trees, would be welcomed..

]]> Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:52:37 UTC 20398111 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20389712?utm_medium=rss I love this concept

If city leaders can't figure out how to spend money in a more logical manner than they will find themselves not getting re-elected.

]]> Wed, 21 Sep 2016 03:43:59 UTC 20384619 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20384618?utm_medium=rss Putting in a nice area for children and adults to be active would be nice.

]]> Wed, 21 Sep 2016 02:47:37 UTC 20384200 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20383565?utm_medium=rss Let's make Newport beautiful and live up to being the friendliest. Honestly a park would be such a great benefit to the environment and people of all ages.

I'm so embarrassed by the 101 drive as I realize this is what all the MANY visitors to our town see. We need to fix up 101 so why not start with a park at city center? Take pride in Newport!

]]> Wed, 21 Sep 2016 12:59:57 UTC 20383343 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20383125?utm_medium=rss I was so sad there wasn't a park like this when we moved here because we have had one like it everywhere else we have lived. This park would be a boon to Newport's community, no doubt about it.
