Designed to serve residents of all ages, the park will provide enhanced connectivity and access to outdoor recreation. Additional parking will also be added to accommodate visitors.
Families will enjoy a shaded, nature-themed playground inspired by the nearby Santa Clara River. The playground will feature a treehouse element overlooking an aquatic-inspired play structure, along with log scrambles, native tree shade, stormwater planters, and a critter scavenger hunt that encourages imaginative play and exploration.
An entry gathering plaza with shade will welcome visitors, providing a comfortable space for families, friends, and neighbors to meet and connect.
The park will also incorporate a stormwater infiltration system designed to capture and treat stormwater on site, allowing it to naturally percolate into the ground. This system will help reduce runoff, improve water quality, support groundwater recharge, and protect the Santa Clara River.
