Phase 1: Preliminary Design (Fall/Winter 2020 – February 2021)
The Preliminary Design phase has three steps:
- Step 1. Input
The project team will collect input from the community on their vision for an updated playground and park. - Step 2. Review
The design firm will take the community feedback and develop an initial concept plan draft to illustrate the feedback that was gathered during Step 1. - Step 3. Final Concept
The project team will gather feedback on the initial draft concept plan. That feedback will be used to refine a final concept plan. The concept master plan will serve as a tool to guide future capital planning and support funding opportunities. The playground concept plan developed in Phase 1 will serve as the foundation for Phase 2 playground final design.
