These perspective sketches provide a better understanding of the park layout and visitor experience.
ENTRANCE - The expansive green of the play fields at the entrance allows
for uninterrupted views through the park and to the mountains.
Connections to existing and future parks, the Dry Creek Greenway, and
neighborhoods link the community. The strong arcing form of the linear
spine organizes the park elements and creates a vehicular and pedestrian
corridor.
BOULEVARD - The linear spine creates an efficient and visually appealing
parking scenario, while linking the park elements. The turf slope
creates a grade separation and an informal seating area for athletic
events. The trail system strategically connects the different park
elements and the adjacent greenways.
PROMENADE - A pedestrian promenade will connect the east and west sides
of the park at the confluence of Dry Creek with Clover Basin Irrigation
Ditch. The promenade is a flexible space, able to accommodate day to
day use along with the occasional festival events. Integrating water
throughout the park in a variety of ways will add a unique and memorable
experience.
The revised draft Master Plan was approved at the November 18, 2008 City Council meeting.
