Walnut Street Park Improvements

The Walnut Street Park concept reworks an existing neighborhood park to serve a broader range of ages and recreation interests. The plan combines accessible playground improvements with active recreation, updated support facilities and a more connected streetscape. Existing mature trees are retained where possible while new trees, sidewalks, parking and amenities improve access and daily use.

What the project includes

● Approximately 1.68 acres

● New accessible playground equipment and resilient play surfacing

● Three new pickleball courts with fencing, equipment and lighting

● Resurfaced and restriped basketball court with new goals and lighting

● Resurfaced shuffleboard court

● Restroom improvements

● New sidewalks, permeable-paver parking and landscaped biobasin areas

● Trees, benches, picnic tables, grills, bike racks and litter receptacles

● Protection of large existing specimen trees

Why it matters

The project broadens access to recreation, supports health and wellness, and creates a more useful multi-generational park for residents and visitors.
