Sche

c La

yout Pros:

• This layout groups the summer activities and winter activities to similar locations.

• It allows the existing structures to be salvaged and would likely save money.

Cons:• The skate park and ice skating rink would not be very

visible from Center Street.

Option #1

Sche

c La

yout Pros:

• The splash pad and ice skate rink will be easily visible from the street.

• The warming/changing shelter can be used in summer and winter.

• The skate park is easily accessible next to the new parking and somewhat separated from the new splash pad.

Cons:• The warming shelter is not close to the sledding

area.

Option #2

Sche

mati

c La

yout Pros:

• This layout groups the ice skating rink and splash pad areas, which may tend to be more family-type groups and it groups the skate park and basketball court, which may tend to be more teenager-type groups.

Cons:• The splash pad becomes almost a secondary feature

in the park with the ice skating rink so close to the road.

• There is minimal buffer between the ice rink and the street. This leaves minimal open, recreational space.

Option #3

yout

Pros:• The picnic shelter is located in a central location

which will allow it to be used by people using any of the surrounding amenities.

• The ice rink is located somewhat close to the sledding area and the warming shelter is accessible by both.

Cons:• Not much open space for general recreation.

Option #4

yout We analyzed the options… Weighed pros and cons… and refined a single schematic layout.

Sche

yout

Pros:• This layout allow a nice open green space for

recreation in the front of the park, but still will have a nice open visibility to the splash pad.

• The layout will allow the existing pump house and picnic shelter to be salvaged until now ones can be phased into the overall park.

• The skate park will be easily accessible from the new parking area.

• The outdoor fireplace is located where a fire can be going near the ice skate rink in the winter to warm up.

• The picnic shelter and changing house are centrally located to accommodate all of the amenities in the park.

• The basketball court will remain in the same location.

• The park sign will be easily visible from the street and parking lot.

• The ice skate rink and warming shelter are located close to the sledding hill.

• This layout groups the teenage-group activities together and the family-group activities together. It allows the different groups to have their own spaces.

Cons:• None!
