Project Location
Project Context
“… this park has remained
undeveloped for many years. The
site is located in a residential area
that currently does not have access
to a park within a 10 minute walk.
…Access to this property is currently
limited from Duvall Avenue and
should be expanded by developing
trail easements to the east and
connecting local trails.”
Project Context (continued)
• Develop the property into a
passive-use recreational
parkland consistent with current
and future community needs
• Steward and invest public
funds
• Apply for grant funding from
local, state, and federal
sources
• Balance developed recreation
with environmental
sustainability
