This neighborhood park renovation was a collaborative effort with the city and neighborhood to create a welcoming space. The new vision sought to make the site more universally accessible and attractive for multi-generational community members. Four new “play rooms” include an outdoor fitness facility, sensory play zones, a new multisport court and play wall, and a new baseball backstop. The entire park was designed to be inclusive and accessible for children on the autism spectrum and those with additional special needs, providing a safe and engaging environment for all. New signage and wayfinding were included in the design and new roofing on an existing shade structure ensures the environment is comfortable year-round.
Since the project finished, both on schedule and within budget, it has gained local popularity as a hot spot destination for community members and visitors from around the area.
