PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: November 24, 2008
AGENDA TITLE: Public hearing and consideration of a motion tv name the packet
park at Alpine and 17TF; Ann Armstrong Park
PRESENTERS: Jan Geden, CPRP, Director, Parks and Recreation
Alice Guthrie, Parks and Planning Superintendent
Mike Gurrola, Park Planner
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The pocket park at 1650 Alpine is located on a corner lot in north Boulder and is 0.28
acres or 12,284 square feet. The site is commonly called Alpine pocket park and is in
Priority Group 3 of the Parks and Recreation 2006 Master Plan which means other parks
will be developed first. The site has been maintained by Patrick Murphy and other
neighbors since 2000. There is no schedule for design and no current funds to improve
the site.
Patrick Murphy, a neighbor of the site, contacted the city in 2007 and requested that this
unnamed site be formally named to honor Ann Armstrong, a former department
employee. She died of cancer in 2004 and Patrick Murphy and others would like to name
this pocket park in the city of Boulder after her.
The PRAB is asked to conduct a public hearing on naming the park. Staff has included
the department's Park and Plaza Naming and Dedication Policy as Attachment A.
STAFF RECOMMF,NDATION:
Staff recommends naming this site Ann Armstrong Park.
CITY COUNCIL, BOARD AND COMMISSION FEEllBACK:
There has been no city council, board or commission feedback. An item will be placed in
the Weekly Information Packet (WIP) to City Council pending the action of this PRAB.
COUNCIL FILTER IMPACTS
Economic: This site is not used for community wide events and its contribution to
overall economic vitality is negligible.
AGENDA ITEM # V-B PAGE 1
Environmental: No city water is used at this site. All the vegetation has survived on
existing rainfall and through the care and maintenance of the neighbors.
Social: The site is valued by neighbors that have adopted it and cared for it since 2000.
OTHER IMPACTS:
Fiscal: Parks and Recreation has budgeted funds for maintenance of this site. No
additional funds are anticipated. Neighbor Patrick Murphy and others currently perform
volunteer cleanup at this site. Staff will work with the Armstrong family and interested
neighbors to insure that any future development is sensitive to all needs.
Staff time: No further staff time is anticipated unless a park sign or benches are installed.
PUBLIC FEEDBACK:
An advertisement has been in the Daily Camera, departmental website, and notice posted
on the site and given to the Old North Boulder Neighborhood Association, the
neighborhood association nearest the site. Patrick Murphy has submitted the required
Application for Park or Plaza Naming or Dedication (Attachment B). See the letters of
support from the Armstrong family and others, (Attachments C and D). There has been
one phone call regarding the site and no other comments. Any additional comments
received will be provided to PRAB at the November 24 meeting. See Attachment E for
the Neighborhood Map and Attachment F for Site Photos.
ANALYSIS:
'['lie Park and Plaza Naming and Dedication Policy (see Attachment A) adopted by the
Parks anti Recreation Department in September 2007 provides community members an
opportunity to name and dedicate city parks.
The Park and Plaza Naming and Dedication Policy states:
C,v~:siderations_for naming a park or plaza include one or more of the following:
1. Histo~•ic names relevant to the park or plaza;
2. Geographic names descriptive of the location or significant natural features
(including flora, fauna and geography in or near the park or plaza);
3. Cultural names relevant to the park or plaza;
4. Person(s) or organizations who made significant contributivns to the park or plaza
being named;
S. Persons (or organizations) who made a significant contribution to the community
over an extended period of time; and/or
h. Person(s) or organizations donating land to be used for park or plaza purpose(s).
This document provides a clear process for naming and dedicating property managed by
the department. The role of PRAB is to consider and approve proposed names at a regular
business meeting.
Patrick Murphy who lives near the site thought it would be a fitting tribute to name this
site after Ann Armstrong. Ann Armstrong was a plant ecologist and made significant
contributions to the community over an extended period of time. This is a consideration
AGENDA ITF,~i # V-B PAGF, 2
listed in the Park and Plaza Naming and Dedication Policy. Staff is not aware of any
historical connection between this site and Ann Armstrong. There is a plaque at the Open
Space and Mountain Parks Ranger Cottage at Chautauqua with a dedication in memory
of Ann Armstrong.
Ann Armstrong served in both the Parks and Recreation and Open Space and Mountain
Parks departments for 17 years and was instrumental in the efforts of identification and
cataloging of plant species in the city and was an active member of the Colorado Native
Plant Society. Ann's efforts to understand, maintain and teach about native plant
communities have been greatly appreciated by many of Boulder's citizens. Ann loved the
foothills prairie and stands of ponderosa pine and appreciated opportunities to educate
and share with the Boulder community the unique edge between wild places and
neighborhoods.
The city of Boulder Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments jointly acquired
this property in April 1997 from Karl W. and Kathy A. Fieberling for a total of $228,869.
Pazks and Recreation's share was $114,434. The house on the land was removed from
this area for flood control purposes for Goose Creek and the Parks and Recreation
Department acquired the site to help fulfill park needs in the neighborhood. Additional
department funds were spent on installation of wood fencing, an irrigation water meter
tap and limited vegetation seeding. The 0.25 Cent Sales Tax was the source of funds and
provided acquisition of neighborhood and pocket parks for this underserved area.
The Alpine site is approximately 12,284 square feet and has several large and small trees
and shrubs. The native species seeds that were planted by Patrick Murphy on site
required no supplemental water during establishment. Patrick Murphy adopted the park in
2000 and has helped maintain it since that time.
Since this park is in Priority Group 3 of the Parks and Recreation 2006 Master Plan, it
means that other parks will be developed first. There are no current plans for planning or
development; however the family of Ann Armstrong has indicated a willingness to
partner with the department and the neighborhood to help support appropriate pazk
improvements. The family would also be willing to lead a fundraising effort to purchase
native plantings, design assistance and or a park bench.

Greetings,
I would like to propose that the pocket park at the south west corner of the intersection of North and Alpine be
named the Ann Armstront? Memorial Pocket Park.
I knew Ann since about 1978 when I met her at the University of Colorado. She was working in the greenhouse
maintaining botanical experiments. Much later she worked at the Boulder Mountain Parks as a plant ecologist and
started the process of assessing the incredible values of what is now Open Space and Mountain Park. She was a real
people-person and loved to educate, as well as a scientist who could conduct experiments and critically assess
results. She also loved to garden.
The pocket park at North and Alpine was converted from an at-risk house in the floodplain to an abandoned weed
patch in about 1997-8. I proposed to the city to convert the weed patch to a native species pocket park and after a
neighborhood survey and presentations to the neighborhood organizations, received approval and support. I have
been maintaining the park since about 2000 and although the ground cover isn't yet 100%, it is a glorious cycle of
native plant development and flowering through the summer. The park currently receives absolutely no
supplemental watering. You can get to a web page with photos at
http:/lwww.m~~xtiz•urg/phmur~y/PatsNatParkl.htm.
Since the native punts are the most important aspect of the park, I hope that only a memorial park bench be installed
with the words, "Ann Armstrong -City of Boulder Plant Ecologist -
I,oved by all who knew her". I will continue to maintain the park as
_ long as I live in Boulder, and I would love for it to be named in her
~ ` honor. She has served us and future generations very well.
Ann was bom 3uly 9, 1944 and died from cancer December 1, 2004.

Thanks.

LETTER # 1
Dear Mr. Gurrola,
I would like to add my support to the request by Patrick Murphy to name the small
pocket park at North and Alpine in honor of Ann Armstrong.
She was a devoted employee of the Boulder Mountain Parks and Open Space Department
and her role as a plant ecologist introduced many of us to the importance of the city park
system's role in the preservation of native plant species. As a volunteer with BMPOS
I am still learning about her many accomplishments and contributions within the
environmental community. Ann was a teacher to all of us and did so much to raise
awareness about the biodiversity within plant communities.
This would be an excellent memorial dedicated to her and a reminder for all of us to be
good stewards of Boulder's open space.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Sincerely,
Linda Mahoney

Dear Mike,
I was delighted to receive an a-mail from Pat Murphy suggesting that the pocket park he has
helped maintain at North and Alpine be renamed in memory of Ann Armstrong. I know that our
entire membership would be very supportive of this tribute to one of Boulder's great
conservationists and great individuals. Thanks for taking Patrick's suggestion to heart--if the
logistics are workable.
Best wishes,

Hello Mike,
Please consider the naming of this park after Ann Armstrong. I have been the Colorado
Native Plant Society Book Sales Chair for a two year stint and had two other people on
my committee to help me. I know Ann did it all by herself, so imagine the amount of

Hi Mike,
I am writing to strongly (very strongly!) support the naming of the park at North and
Alpine the "Ann Armstrong Native Species Pocket Park." I had the incredible honor to
work alongside Ann for many years, first at the Chautauqua Park Ranger Cottage, and
then at the Iris Center. She was a dear friend and colleague. I was always amazed by her
devotion to the environment and her love for Boulder's native flora. She was truly an
inspiration not only to me, but to countless other adults and children--her wonderful book
about Boulder's wild things will live on, as well as all of the good that she did for native
plants.
I was lucky enough to have lunch with Ann the day before she passed. Even then, she
was still enthusiastic about our natural environment. I miss her very much.
Thanks for your consideration, Mike.

LETTER # 5
Hi Mike--
I hope you've been deluged with echoes of the idea of naming this little
spot (North & Alpine) for Ann Armstrong. I think it's a wonderful
suggestion. I hope you will carry it forward to the Board.
Ann was special, as most people admit, and she was taken away hastily before
her mission (promoting native plants and beautiful places) was accomplished.
Let's do a little something in her memory. This small spot could be easily
and economically maintained with native plants in her honor. The City should
be going the native route anyway, with water increasingly scarce and Global
Disruption looming.
Tell me who else I should contact to move this idea forward? Council
members?
Thanks for any help you can supply--

Dear Mr. Mike Gurrola
I have been a resident of Boulder for over 40 years and knew and had affection and
respect for Ann Armstrong and all her fine work and volunteer efforts on behalf of our
environment. I am also a teacher and ecological consultant.
I strongly encourage the City to designate the pocket park at Alpine and North in honor
of Ann Armstrong, and also to provide instructions to maintenance staff to not mow or
disturb the park. It is currently being restored under the efforts of Dr. Patrick Murphy.
And many thanks to the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department for its past
support of the restoration efforts at this park!
Thank you very much.

I just heard from a friend about the idea of naming the North and Alpine pocket park after
Ann Armstrong. I think this is a great idea. I first met Ann when she was working at the
Chataqua Ranger Cottage and giving interpretive walks. She was a wonderful teacher, as
well as a keen observer of the natural world, particularly of the little things that were
often overlooked.
Although I don't live in Boulder (I lived in Broomfield and now in Estes Park), I once
helped weed this pocket park several years ago. Although it is small, I'm sure it's an asset
to the north Boulder community. Boulder should be proud of it's natural areas and the

I wish to express my support of Patrick Murphy's suggestion to dedicate the

Dear Mr. Gurrola;
I have viewed Patrick Murphy's restoration efforts at this site and support his suggestion
that the site by named for Anne Armstrong. I was dismayed to see that the vegetation had
been mowed before I visited it, but I trust that it will grow back and be a kind of
exemplar for what citizens can achieve on their own properties (including my own) using
native plants. Thanks for your consideration.

I would like to add my voice in support of naming the Pocket Park on
Alpine after Ann Armstrong, the Boulder Mountain Parks botanist.
I knew Ann for many years, and know that she left her mark on the
people and places around Boulder. Ann was an educator, a scientist,
and a patient teacher. She taught me everything 1 know about growing
Boulder's wildflowers. Naming this park, with its native plants,
after her is a very fitting honor. We will think of her every time we
pass the park. She touched the lives of many people.

17 November 2008
Boulder Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and 17'" St /Alpine St Neighborhood:
We are writing on behalf of the family of Ann Armstrong in support of naming the neighborhood
park located at 17"' St and Alpine St in her name.
Our mother's relationship to Boulder's natural places is known through nearly two decades of
work as a plant ecologist with the Boulder Open Space /Mountain Parks Department. As much
as she loved the foothills prairie and stands of ancient ponderosa pine, she relished
opportunities to educate and share with the Boulder community the unique interface between its
wild places and neighborhoods. Naming this park in her memory would perfectly capture this
passion of Ann's.
We are sensitive to the needs and desires of the area residents to name and improve the park
in a fashion that best meet neighborhood goals. We have indicated to Mr. Gurrola our
willingness to partner with the City and the neighborhood to help support appropriate park
improvements as suggested by the City's neighborhood-based planning process. For example,
we would be willing to lead a fundraising effort to purchase native plantings, design assistance
and / or park bench, etc. Also, it is likely that we could gather Ann's many friends and
colleagues for volunteer work days to spruce up the park.
We extend thanks to Patrick Murphy and Mr. Gurrola for initiating this effort and appreciation to
the PRAB and Alpine St Neighborhood for considering it. We are thrilled about the opportunity.
Please contact us if we may be assistance or can otherwise support this project.
Warm regards,
