Park design should maintain an exception for a parking lot. Goal 3: Park design should enhance visibility into the park space from adjacent local streets and residences. Goal 4: Park design should enhance safety of the users of the park. Goal 5: Promote tree planting to increase the urban tree canopy of the North Lancaster Neighborhood and extend the community garden of the park. 8 Planning Context
