Workshop Agenda

What is The Project? The project goal is to create a long-term master plan for park improvements for Coronado Cays Park.

Scope of Project & Goals

What is a Master Plan?

• ‘Big Picture’ concept
• Sets a consistent landscape theme / treatment
• Serves as a consistent map for future projects
• Identifies specific projects
• Aids in prioritizing projects / budget
• Recognizes current and potential constraints

What it is not…

• It is not a construction document…it is an overall concept / guide
• Should not be completely inflexible

Scope of Project & Goals

Why is This Needed? The current park is highly utilized and shows signs of normal ‘wear and tear’. The City wishes to assess community needs and establish a plan of action to upgrade park features according to these needs.

Scope of Project & Goals

How Will This be Achieved? This workshop is the first step to:

• Seek community input
• Assess existing park amenities and conditions
• Based on the above, develop 3 schematic Master Plan

alternatives for community feedback

• Use feedback to distill the 3 alternatives into 1 comprehensive

design for review and comment

• Provide a final design and phasing plan
