CVPRD is hosting the first Community Design Meeting on June 5th, 2022 at our Santa Fe Trail park property. This meeting is an opportunity to imagine and design our first park together as a community! This post includes some examples of different park amenities. We hope these pictures inspire creativity in community members to prepare for our June 5th Community Design Meeting!
Picnic Tables
Picnic tables! There are lots of different styles of table, notice the legs of this table and the minimal use of metal.
This table has metal bar legs and plastic table and seats.
This texture is classic, but this table is rounded and has 4 separate seats.
Similar to the previous table, but square instead of round.
This picnic table is made out of recycled plastics and is a sustainable option!
Some picnic tables even include an option for an umbrella to provide protection from the sun in the summer, or rain in the fall/spring.
Benches
Park benches are also a wonderful amenity! Here is one simple design.
This park bench is cemented down and permanent.
There are also concrete benches.
Here is yet another style of park bench.
Barbecues, Garbage Cans, and Bike Racks
Park grills are also a great amenity, this is the most common design for public use.
However, park grills can become more creative and aesthetically pleasing.
Don’t forget about trashcans! There is a lower chance of litter and garbage being left behind in the park if there is somewhere to dispose of it.
Notice how this trash can has a dome lid and is not open to the elements.
This kind of trash can has opportunity to provide doggie bags.
Bike racks might be another amenity to think about, this one is known as a loop rack.
