Bringing the Vision to Reality

In January of 2016, JCPRD engaged Landworks Studio to continue with the project to develop design and construction documents for Phase I improvements to be constructed. The design team is supported by Affinis Corporation for Civil engineering, SFS Architects for park structures and Lightworks for electrical and lighting design. In late October 2016, the JCPRD board confirmed staff recommendations to combine the Meadowbrook Park and Activity Building projects as one bid-package to reduce administrative and construction costs, minimize site management risk and provide opportunities to streamline the schedule.

To date, the design team has developed designs for Phase I improvements in accordance to the allotted budget.

• Iconic Structures - 3 iconic park structures with capacity for 48 plus people
