Dover Park Rehabilitation   back | previous | next

Completed in 2008, the rehabilitation of Dover Neighborhood Park has made the park the jewel of the neighborhood. Callander Associates has taken on the challenge of balancing ongoing safety and maintenance issues of the site amenities with the wants and needs of the City and neighbors. Rehabilitation of the fishing ponds included: coordination of regulatory requirements with the City Staff, Army Corps, and environmental consultants; exploration of options for slope stabilization; water quality; and addressing concerns about public safety. Improvements include rehabilitating the ponds, providing all weather concrete paths, updating the safety lighting, adding cameras, rehabilitating an existing shade shelter, adding a new toddler play structure, and providing new site furnishings. Callander Associates assisted the City in application for and award of a grant that provided additional funding for the new toddler playground.

The project was recently recognized by the California Park and Recreation Society with a planning award in 2009.
