The project consists of the development of a 42.4-acre park on a vacant parcel of land. The project consists of street-related improvements and four phases of park improvements. Phase one consists of the design, installation, and construction of park-related improvements, including: road and street access, pedestrian and park walkways, and three (3) parking areas. Park facility-related improvements include: four
