Additional Park Amenities Slideshow

CVPRD is hosting the first Community Design Meeting on June 5th, 2022 at our 7916 Santa Fe Trail park property from 3-4PM. This meeting is an opportunity to imagine and design our first park together as a community! We plan on having activities for everyone to workshop and prioritize park elements, and there will coloring materials available to kids. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we’ll be able to collaborate outdoors – however, if the conditions become undesirable the meeting will be relocated to the resource center (8251 Kendall Rd.)

This post includes some examples of additional and miscellaneous park amenities ideas. We hope these pictures inspire creativity in community members to prepare for our June 5th Community Design Meeting!

Park features for pets

One idea is to have small installations for dogs to engage with
Here’s another idea where dogs can climb
Jumping rings for dogs large and small!
A watering fountain with ground level basins for pets
This is a great idea to help our pets stay cool in the summer months
Simple and creative!
Pet parking station
You can’t forget a place for bags to help keep our park clean

Walking paths, lighting, and adult exercise equipment

There’s lots of variation when it comes to types of walking paths – here is a more natural idea
A dirt walking path, could also add gravel to stabilize against rain
Some walking paths have bridges above bodies of water
Walking paths can also be paved, which increases accessibility
Lighting is another important element, ground lighting is one option
These ground lights are often solar powered
Lamp posts are another option, these typically provide more light coverage
Adult exercise equipment is also something to consider
Some equipment is simple, this set is centered around body strength training
Some equipment relies on two people so be sure to grab a workout buddy!
This is an outdoor, self-powered, elliptical
Outdoor exercise equipment can be inclusive for all adults of all ages!
