Leave it as it is. If you want to see what "mixed use" looks like, just go to The Preserve in Tumwater, on 88th St SW and bordering on Old Hwy 99. There you have a subdivision of drably painted, identical in appearance tickytacky houses with an arm's length between them, ones that were thrown up in a week. Their next door neighbors are warehouses...BIG ones, with 24/7 high intensity lights, paved parking area that floods in heavy rains and have heavy truck traffic with fork lift back up alarms beeping, drivers leaving the engines running and truckers coming in at all hours of the day or night.
This is what Tumwater has become with it's "mixed residential/commercial zoning"( and roundabouts everywhere) and now, it seems, as if Olympia does, too.
Leave the Park alone. It's one of the few green places left.
