We’re moving forward into schematic design—the phase where we begin turning the big-picture ideas from the master plan into a more detailed layout for the park. To kick things off, the consultant team will be conducting an in-depth site survey. This fieldwork will help us better understand the existing conditions of the site—mapping out things like tree cover, stream crossings, and topography—so we can make informed and thoughtful design decisions. So, if you see surveyors in the woods, know they’re helping us collect this essential data to guide the next steps of the design process!
Later this year, we’ll reconvene the Community Advisory Group and host a round of public engagement that will include an open house and online survey to gather community input on the draft schematic design.
