Neighborhood Park.
Situated next to a school in a residential city neighborhood, this park sat undeveloped and underused for many years. Upon completion of a full renovation in 2022, the park now acts as a central hub for the neighborhood, providing dynamic play and athletic amenities for children of all ages. A variety of seating and gathering areas encourage parents to relax and mingle. Robust landscaping ties the park elements together and further integrates the site into the neighborhood.
The park hosts larger neighborhood gatherings, parties, performances, and more. A contemporary yet timeless canopy structure helps to facilitate these events. The integration of both exposed aggregate and standard broom finish concrete provides textural and visual interest while making the larger concrete surface areas feel more comfortable. Boulder outcroppings bring the excitement of nature into the play setting, encouraging creative use as play or seating.
Nestled into the neighborhood, the park, with its fresh redesign, offers a contemporary take on the classic neighborhood park. Attractive and purposeful amenities, comfortable and efficient spaces, rich landscaping, and strong neighborhood support make this park a perfect destination for children and families to get outside, strike up new friendships, and PLAY!
