Thanks to everyone who weighed on upcoming improvements to Elliot Park’s playground and its east side. After reviewing all of the feedback on the three initial design concepts, the design team has developed a final concept that features elements listed below.
Features Proposed for Final Design Concept for Elliot Park
- Brings activation, art, and amenities to the center of the park’s east side
- Park edges enhanced with ornamental fencing and landscaping
- Proposed flexible lawn or performance area for both formal events (concerts, movies) and informal activities and games (soccer warm up, catch, frisbee)
- patio and flexible sports plaza area near the recreation center, allows for indoor programming to be brought outside; could include striping for court games like pickleball or basketball, and/or flexible outdoor furniture
- splash pad replaces existing wading pool and is installed along with a patio near the existing basketball courts on the north side of the park
- New playground on south side of the park, closer to the building and parking, and more inclusive for all ages and abilities
- If the project budget allows, additional possibilities could include concrete paths that glow at night and community murals on the walls of the recreation center or basketball court
