Project Description:
This project will bring to the city a new 1.18-acre neighborhood park on two City-owned parcels at the northeast corner of Raitt Street and Myrtle Street. This project is unique because the storm water Best Management Practices (BMPs) on site are designed to infiltrate storm water runoff not only from the park itself, but also from the surrounding neighborhood. Storm water infiltration is very beneficial to the environment, as it helps improve water quality, increases local water supplies, and helps to reduce flooding.
The project will include:
- Skatepark
- Playground equipment
- Exercise area
- Drought-tolerant landscaping
- Walkways
- Security Lighting
- Restroom
- 1,600sq. ft. storm water Bioretention basin
- Off-site right-ow-way improvements
