Concept 1: Stitch and Mend

The first concept creates a sense of arrival with a welcoming promenade and art feature along Sugarmont Drive. It consolidates the currently dispersed restrooms and pavilions into two centralized amenities aligned with a new playground and the recreation fields. Sport courts and a pollinator garden are added to the park, while the pickleball and skate park facilities are expanded – including a “beginners bay” to enhance accessibility for younger and less experienced skaters. The east side of the park is naturalized and features a more active wooded ramble and prairie grass walk.

Concept 2: Heart of the Park

Aligning directly with the historic McClelland Trail, this concept establishes a tree-lined promenade through the park, marked by a strong sense of arrival on Sugarmont Dr. and anchored by a multi-purpose headquarters in the “heart of the park.” With a new parking grove in the northwest corner, new sport courts are also added to activate the northern edge. The new circulation path draws people to and around an elliptical central lawn that connects the rec fields and new pickleball courts toward the west with the volleyball courts and a new outdoor fitness zone to the east.

Concept 3: Front and Center

The third concept places the primary arrival and circulation axis in the center of the park, with a new plaza and pavilion at the north entrance, aligned with the McClelland Trail and providing more diverse spaces for community events and markets. On one side of this axis, an expansive nature walk and dog park activate the eastern portion of the park, while the west side features manicured soccer fields and other sports amenities. Connecting the two halves, a multi-purpose hub replaces the currently dispersed restroom and pavilion amenities and joins them with the park rangers’ maintenance facilities for enhanced visibility and safety.
