Sandpoint, Idaho Community Planning and Design

Inventory and Analysis

Some problems found within the city

beach and Jetty were continuity in

structure, organization of space, and lack

of revenue generating features.

Main focus areas are the Jetty,

Emergency Access/Plaza, and Wedding

Point in southeast portion of park.

Beach Point

Beach Point

With magnificent

views and opportunity,

this point provided

space for formal

gathering and events.

The design combines

the context of a

railroad town and the

beauty of the

surrounding lake.

Concessions

Concessions

In modifying building

continuity, we

redesigned the

Concessions to better

accommodate use on

the site and conform to

our goals.

Parking and Recreation

Parking and Recreation

A barren and desolate

parking lot currently

occupies a large

portion of the park.

The redesign consists

of large tree canopies

to provide shade for

vehicles and bio-

retention swales to

help clean and

replenish the water

runoff. We have also

included a retention

pond at the end of the

parking lot for the

occasional storm.

Plaza

Plaza

Currently acting as

emergency and

delivery access for the

concessions, the

Plaza area has

transformed into

something fun and

eventful. The Plaza

also acts as a greeting

and introductory point

to the City Beach.

Jetty

Jetty

As a very visible point

from the City Beach

and many other areas,

the Jetty is not

currently living up to

its potential.
