Concept Design

Bubble diagram of the proposed park concept including walking trail, fitness equipment, covered pavilion, playscape and water retention, while protecting the trees.

The property is currently undeveloped and lacks a sidewalk along Tillery St. Anticipated improvements will preserve the natural environment and the pecan trees on site. Currently there are approximately 100 trees on site, 12 which are heritage size pecan trees. Proposed amenities to be included that are typical of a neighborhood park will include a loop walking trail, covered pavilion, picnic areas, a playground, and fitness area.

Playscapes are designed outdoor structures where children engage in imaginative and physical play. These spaces often feature classic playground equipment such as swings, slides, and climbing structures. Playscapes are designed to encourage exploration, creativity, and social interaction, providing children with opportunities to develop physical skills, problem-solving abilities, and social connections. They can range in a variety of themes.

Nature play areas are designed to connect children with the natural environment through play. These spaces often incoporate natural elements to encourage physical activity, creativity, and environmental stewardship. By incorporating nature play elements, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the environment and create meaningful, enjoyable play experiences for children of all ages.
