Bicentennial Park Conceptual Plans are in!
Our intense and comprehensive community design workshops are over and now its time to hear from the community on the first drafts of the conceptual plans for Bicentennial Park!
The workshops were very enlightening not only from a planning perspective but from cultural and social perspectives as well.
Community members were very excited to be part of a project where their voices were not only heard, but sought. It was true community planning at its core. The most popular amenities community members expressed they wanted in the park were a basketball court, a walking trail, playground and lots of vegetation and landscape features. Fencing , proper lighting and recycle receptacles were also popular features.
The following are three plans created by the Trust for Public land based purely on community input.
Please provide your comments, ideas, suggestions to Viviana@fromlottospot.org or on www.fromlottospot.org, under “Contact”.
Thank you so much and we look forward to presenting a final design concept within the coming weeks!
