While it was admirable to create a salmon habitat example out of Juanita beach, that change removed a lot of grassy play area space on the beach side of Juanita Drive. The only available open space left anywhere near the dense residential area of central Juanita is now the park across from Juanita beach.
Open green space is a rare and scarce commodity, and we must preserve what little is left. Tearing it out to place a large aquatic center there is simply bad planning.
