Chapter 4: Site Recommendations

Coordinated Approach Areas of Design Focus 4-1
Picnic Area
Site recommendations begin at the Recreation Center and carry through the pond
area and picnic areas. The Landscape Architecture team worked closely with the
Architecture/Interiors Team in order to provide an integrated approach to the design.
The reinforcement of an axis that runs through the main corridor of the recreation center Pond Area Site Recommendations
and continues through the park, and the organization of existing paths to reinforce this
link, provided a starting point for the design.
Recreation Center

Focus Areas
The Site solutions were focused on three areas: the Recreation Center entries (East
Community entry and West Sports entrance), the Pond area, and the Picnic area (see
Figure 4-1: Overall Site Recommendations Plan).

Each Focus Area had it’s own unique set of design problems and program requirements.
The Landscape Architecture Team divided into two groups at the Charrette in order to
tackle the large amount of acreage to be planned in the short 8 hour time-span. Group
One, led by Charles Sears, concentrated on the Recreation Center in close detail at 10
scale. Group Two, led by both Charles Sears & Joni P. Young, tackled two areas, focusing
on the Pond and Picnic areas at a larger more conceptual scale.
