Inventory and Analysis
Some problems found within the city beach and Jetty were continuity in structure, organization of space, and lack of revenue generating features.
Main focus areas are the Jetty, Emergency Access/Plaza, and Wedding Point in southeast portion of park.
Beach Point
Beach Point
With magnificent views and opportunity, this point provided space for formal gathering and events. The design combines the context of a railroad town and the beauty of the surrounding lake.
Concessions
Concessions
In modifying building continuity, we redesigned the Concessions to better accommodate use on the site and conform to our goals.
Parking and Recreation
Parking and Recreation
A barren and desolate parking lot currently occupies a large portion of the park. The redesign consists of large tree canopies to provide shade for vehicles and bio-retention swales to help clean and replenish the water runoff. We have also included a retention pond at the end of the parking lot for the occasional storm.
Plaza
Plaza
Currently acting as emergency and delivery access for the concessions, the Plaza area has transformed into something fun and eventful. The Plaza also acts as a greeting and introductory point to the City Beach.
Jetty
Jetty
As a very visible point from the City Beach and many other areas, the Jetty is not currently living up to its potential.
