Amanda supports straightforward improvements such as consistent upkeep, clear signage, and predictable splash pad operations. Families shouldn't have to guess whether amenities are working- communication and maintenance should be simple, reliable, and responsive to community needs.

She will work with H.A.R.D., Hayward Police, and local partners to address break-ins and speeding through practical steps: better lighting, improved visibility, and targeted patrols in high-traffic areas. These are simple, effective measures that make parks feel safer for everyone.

Amanda supports a compassionate but practical approach: coordinating with outreach teams, ensuring safety for families, and using the City's Access Hayward system to address encampments efficiently. This is a practical balance between public safety and human dignity.

Amanda will advocate for restroom access in busy parks, more seating and shade, and expanded youth recreation options. These simple, community-focused improvements make parks more comfortable and usable for everyone.
