“I spend my day at work with a double mask, face shield, and gloves… The idea of being able to be out, and see people, watch the birds and occasionally a whale… it’s an incredible stress relief”

“This is basically where I come to clear my mind. I view it as a sanctuary and release.”

“It’s bringing happiness to everyone’s lives, and that’s not going to stop after the pandemic "

“This is a place I can come when it gets dark, it feels fine.. there’s street lights, no cars. I would never have gone to a bar before, I would use sports to meet people. This is a new kind of space… I’ve had trouble finding (something like this)"

“I think it better serves the public having it as a pedestrian space versus used for cars”

“Things have been really tough. This is where I come to meditate "

“It’s been a place of respite. A place to re connect with other community members. Fresh air, outdoor, inspired exercise and activity. It just gives you a nice reset."

“We definitely want it to stay no cars…"
