Thank you for reaching out and for sharing this petition and residents' feedback.
I appreciate the advocacy and thoughtful perspective provided regarding the addition of outdoor table tennis tables at Northside Park. Expanding recreational opportunities in our parks, particularly those that promote inclusivity, community engagement, and active lifestyles, is something I strongly support.
At this time, I will be forwarding this request to our Parks and Recreation team to explore whether the installation of 2–3 outdoor table tennis tables can be incorporated into any planned upgrades or future improvements at Northside Park. As you know, enhancements like these are typically evaluated within the broader scope of park planning, capital improvement projects, and available funding.
I’m grateful to the residents who have taken the time to organize and bring attention to this idea. Community input plays a critical role in shaping how we invest in our shared spaces, and I encourage continued engagement as we assess opportunities like this.
Please feel free to share this update with petition supporters, and I will provide additional updates as more information becomes available.
Thank you again for helping elevate community voices.
Sincerely,
Councilman Carlos Clanton
