Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest District Park Playscape Replacement Survey 2
Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest District Park Playscape Replacement Survey 2
The Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest District Park Playscape Replacement Project will replace the aging playgrounds for ages 2 to 5 and 5 to 12, enhance ADA accessibility, and address drainage issues. The project follows the 2022 Vision Plan, which identified the playgrounds as the top priority for improvements. The project will preserve key historic elements, including the Miller-Melberg “Turtle” sculpture and the “Northwest Park Playground” seat wall, while upgrading play features within the existing footprint to protect heritage trees and critical root zones. The designs on this survey were informed by our first-round survey results. Please share your reactions to these draft concepts as we work towards final concept designs. All survey questions are optional.
