Subject: Thank You for the Productive Meeting Regarding Dix Hills Park Modernization

Dear Councilman Ferro and Parks Director Jamison,

I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to extend my sincerest gratitude for taking the time to meet with us at Dix Hills Park to discuss the much-needed modernization of the park's playground. Your willingness to engage with us and hear our concerns demonstrates your commitment to serving our community.

During our meeting, you both emphasized the importance of updating Dix Hills Park, acknowledging that it has been neglected for over 20 years. Your recognition of this issue and dedication to addressing it are deeply appreciated by all of us who frequent the park.

I am particularly encouraged by our discussion regarding the next steps in this process. It was reassuring to hear that plans will be drafted in 2024 and efforts will be made to secure the necessary funding. Understanding that construction may begin in 2025 provides a clear timeline for progress, and we are eager to see these plans come to fruition.

As we discussed, my fellow community members and I are committed to staying actively involved in this process. We understand that there may be challenges and obstacles along the way, but we are prepared to support and advocate for the modernization of Dix Hills Park. To that end, we will follow up with you and Parks Director Jamison on a periodic basis to inquire about any progress made and address any potential issues that may arise.

Once again, thank you for your dedication to improving our community and for your attention to the needs of Dix Hills Park. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and witnessing the positive transformation of our beloved park.

Warm regards,

Omar Athar
