Gear ~~lr. (~7ontgomery,
I ~NOE:e to t°'lr. S:am kirby a.t the Parks Field Office last week ands, as he was
going on vacation this week, he suggested I address my questions -to you. I
am part of a PTA committee looking into the possibility of developing a
hillside park: at one of our local public schools. As part of our, research, it
~~Jas suggested we talk to the city of Berkeley as you hive a number of
hillside parE;s. We had several questions that it would be most helpful if
you could ;~ns~rrer.
Insurance: Did your ihsurance go down, or were the rates
less ,for hillside parks, given, for instance, the additional
safety of a slide that follows the slope of a hill, as at the
strawberry Creek Park? As insurance will be a major issue
for us ir. getting this project funded, any insurance com-
parisons you f~ave would be helpful.
~'Ir' ~antgornery said that-this was difficult to
~nswe~ as Berkeley is self-insured. However;
in his five. yews;: these has never been a claim
against the city because of the toooq~anhy of
hillside,oa~ks, though these have been claims
because of the concrete slides, which we do not
not plan to use.

hcu~ r,~eetiny~ with him on June 9. 1988 .
~,,:
,.
~~. ~afet~;r: ~o you have. any statistics on safety or the number
of injuries on flatlandparks as opposed to hillside parks?
,'.
~. ir~terdepartmer~~ta1 Cooperation: 'Here any of your parks
t;;e result of sei~~~ool/city cooperative ventures`' Were
any o-f them built using neighbonc~cd volunteers? if
so, :did you run into any probl-ems'? Any words of wis-
dom you could dive us:. .
Covoerative ventures• many of Berkeleys parks
are ~vint ventures between city and school
district Ivlr Montgomery gave us a copy of one
cf their joint use agreements, and he,oointed
vut certain Weaknesses One was the proposed
use ofwint bill~~q between the city and school
district to date for work done. the billing has
not been done because the,orocess is complicated,
and they :don 't have the tune and mango wer to
carry i t out,
~'vlunteers• .rho cityhas founda company which
specifically insures volunteers !t is ~/S (~ol-
unteer /nsur~nce Service), 216 S. Peyton St.,

In using volunteers, Berkeley has been success-
ful with an Adopt- A -Park program, if the ad-
dootinggroup hada very committed leader,
an organizer These groups do fund raising
and maintenance.
l`?r. Montgomery said that Berkeley has had no
success involving Seniors in the park pro-
jects; but he rerrmen7bered that Fresno had
had a very successful Seniors-Park volun-
teer group. (The Committee is now getting
in touch ii~ith Fresno for information. ~

4. Specialis s. Do.you use specialists in park design, orrn
h i 11 ~ i de park design, or are these i n-house personae 1 ?
~u you kr~ow of any resource people we could contact?
;hen these is a lame protect, Berkeley turns
o outside designers There are at least two
/?ublicand two commission meetings con-
cerning a new,nro~ect. rIr rlontgvmery aISO
suggested using a lay task force in .initial
design andrecommendedhac~inga dis-
abledperson.on the task force to advise

6rr'e are a/ready using these resources
5. post: Did you f ind the cost of hillside parks greater
than the cost of f latland parks, given a natura . hi 11-
side, ~~dithaut the need of creating a hill?
G~adinq, drainage, planting andmainten-
ance tend to be higher than with a flat
land. This can be offset with the use of
volunteers and fundraising, pkrs the
advantages inherent inmakinggooo'use
of an otherwise ui~usab/e hillside.
~. Play use: Do you have the sense that, because of the nature
of the hillside park, its at ractiveness to children, that
these parks are more heavily used, or are they neighborhood
parks used primarily by the children who live in the
sure ounding area?
fP t;'vY'~ '~.

~`
if tfe park in question has a spec: tac ular v,~~ w;
as do secfe~al of Berkeley'sparks; ti7ey e,`Jd
to become regional parks.
?. ``~;ui~~,~nent: What process d`id you use in choosing; ec~uiN-
m~~~it."-` Did ycu use natural equipment, ie. boulders anc.r~ored
iltCi the ~r.}rdu~~fU?
Berkeley holds three ,au~lie hearings .when
choosing equipment. 6e~keley has several
"hock' parks'' designed around natural rock
outcroppings
~. Landscape: Did you use any .native shrubs or grasses
to cut down the cost of maintenance? ! f so, has this
been successful?
Berkeley is now using a great many drought
tolerant,nla~tinys and,. as native plants be-
come more -avai/ab/e, more native shrubs
They are finding that after two or three
years of irrigating to get the plants well
started, they can stop. irrigation completely.
Thus ~n sorrre parks; they only .install tem -
porary irrigation equipment. This repre-
se,~ts a considerable savings of money and
maintenance.
~. success/Failur-e History: Have you had any problems with
kles~ parks growing out of'the nature of a hillside park
itself? Were there problems with erosion, the choice or
installation of playground equipment, maintenance etc.
Berkeley has hadho m~jor,orob/ems with
their hillside parks There has been minor
erosion, as children can make their own
paths up the hillside; but this has been
minimal,
