Historical Site Interpretation

  • Phase 1 Cultural Resources Survey

Completed in May 2011

  • Survey identified one site that is in very

good archeological condition (minimal disturbance) and that is considered potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

  • This site fills a research gap in Virginia
  • Beach. No sites pertaining to small or

middling farmsteads that date to the period 1650-1750 have been excavated in Virginia Beach or ever thoroughly tested and evaluated.

CPTED - NATURAL SURVEILLANCE

  • Increase the visibility of core or high-use areas within the park:

– Multiple housing types located around site offers “eyes on street” – Community Parks located at perimeter of site – Cluster compatible activities to avoid conflict, maximize visibility and to promote positive social interaction. – Provide for strategically placed lighting.

  • Within parking lots and high use areas

– Recognition that some areas of park cannot be observed or made safe during night hours, park open only until dusk. – Provide clear, identifiable entry points. – Selective and strategic use of elements within the landscape such as:

  • Fencing, lighting, and planting
  • Provide an average of 10 feet of clear distance between trail route and

vegetation to offer visibility and distance from potential threats.

– Clearly mark areas and their use.

  • Placement of directional signs and display signs.
  • Use of markers to delineate route of trails.
  • Differentiate between park property and adjacent private property.
  • Post displays for and provide hard copies of maps.
  • Post park rules at access points and gathering areas.
