Outside of a new playspace for the kids, is there anything else you could see as a potential project for improving Conger Park?

Conger Park is a wonderful park with lots of shade trees! It could definately use some updating and more picnic areas! I think a paved walking trail around the park would be great for walkers and little bikers alike!!! It would be a great practice area for the little kids learning to ride!

Love this playground because it is so close to our home. I have had one of my children's birthday parties there and the kids had a great time.

It's a great place centrally located in midtown. I miss the pool as well. It was a great place to cool off.

Such memories of this wonderful park with the mature shade trees!! With some attention, this park could be to a new generation what it was to my generation and I'd love to see the grant be awarded here.

I know we have the "movie in the park" at Liberty Park, but why couldn't we have it in Conger park? I think the stage area would be a great place to show movies. What do you guys think?

What a great space! Our church uses this wonderful shaded park to host our annual picnic! I have such wonderful childhood memories, as I went to the elementary school that used the park as the playground! The wonderful merry go round..that I was slung off of too many times to count..the huge metal slide that would burn your legs in the summer, and of course the wading pool that was always fun to jump into with your clothes on! Tennis lessons were always a must at this park! Its a lovely space and so under used!, yet still used by many! Please help us improve this park..its an awesome spot!

I love this playground. My boys went to summer camps here sponsored by JRPD as well as took tennis lessons here. We had end of the season ball picnics here at the big park. I would love to see it updated for future generations!
