Concept 1: Emphasis on the Natural Environment

The first concept highlights natural areas and includes trails, a variety of native gardens and informal sport courts. It maintains the existing tree canopy and emphasizes family recreation in a natural environment. Courts for tennis, sand volleyball and basketball are grouped together at the main entrance to the park. An environmentally sensitive indoor aquatic facility flows to a large outdoor swimming lake and beach area. Located nearby is a interactive, nature-based regional children’s play area. Within the natural area of the park, an artistic circular plaza located next to a cooling water feature offers a scenic space for community gatherings. The amphitheater is set dramatically on a tranquil pond surrounded by native foliage that provides a setting for family picnicking. In this concept, approximately 70% of the existing trees are preserved. Click here to view Concept 1 in detail.
