Sean’s Park Phase I

Project Description

The park encourages conceptual learning, personal awareness, physical activity, and social learning. It features a “liberty swing,” to which a wheelchair can be secured, letting its occupant feel for the first time an experience that most people take for granted. The two-acre park also features learning and activity venues such as a “live” public street crosswalk to promote pedestrian safety; a walking/exercise path for mobility equipment training, balancing practice, and walking skills; and a music and art venue.

The park also features an 18-hole putt-putt golf course, a great deal of playground and shade structure equipment, a shuffleboard court, a full-size outdoor bowling lane, a restroom building, a storage building with a fenced storage yard, and an arts and crafts area that has two, eight-foot CMU display walls with embedded glass. There is also a garden area and a gazebo and picnic tables for events.

The park is surrounded by an eight-foot CMU wall with a two-foot wrought iron fence on top. The main entry gate has space to mount artwork. Our scope of work included site grading, utilities including water and sewer plus four drinking fountains and 13 misting stations, landscaping, and paver installation.
