Callander Associates took this 5.8 acre neighborhood park from a community approved master plan through construction documents. Early in the design development process Callander worked with the City by presenting options to accommodate an aggressive park program on a steeply sloped site with extreme geotechnical conditions including shallow bedrock. Ultimately, a strategy was presented to and accepted by the City that addressed most of the park elements approved during the community master planning process. The final park design, which consists of play areas, a water feature, tennis courts, soccer field, a California native planting area, a dry creek bed, and a shade sail covered picnic plaza that overlooks the valley below demonstrates no indication of compromise from the original design. Callander Associates also assisted the City by presenting several value engineering options that ultimately helped to offset additional cost caused by the topographic and geotechnical conditions of the site.
