If time:
--Socket Update
--Should people be swimming in the new North Shoreline fountain?

Isn't it funny how when you put a water feature by the bay people naturally want to get wet? We live by the bay, but for some reason our bay is 'off limits'. Put water by it and people are bound to want to get in it.
They bring their dogs, they bring their BBQ pits. Why? Because the city has created a great place to gather and the natural feel is to eat and frolic with man's best friend...but there is no place to eat and dogs aren't allowed.

This park is wonderful, but part of no plan for best use. Destination Bayfront intends on creating a full experience, putting it all together correctly from day one.
