PROJECT DESCRIPTION.
The improvements to Lakefront park include reconstruction
of the existing ball
fields into new park lawns for multi-purpose activities. The intent is to transform
Lakefront Park so that it is more conducive to family leisure and alternative
sport and recreation uses
than for baseball/softball in its current configuration.
OPPORTUNITIES.
- Provides an alternative recreation venue for uses other than sporting events
- Reconfiguration allows the facility to be used for football, soccer and other lawn sports
- Create a buffer between Charles Seivers Blvd. and the park to minimize traffic noise and visual congestion on the park
- Connection to the Riverwalk links to other recreation venues and residential areas
- Create aesthetic improvements to the Marina to integerate it into the design of other waterfront elements
