Our firm worked closely with the City of North Salt Lake on a design-build project to redevelop a large retention basin into a unique neighborhood playground/park. A main objective of the park is to provide opportunities for nature play. We developed a plan that features boulder climbing areas, a large “fell tree”, log steps, and embankment slide that is integrated with mature trees and native plantings.
As a retention basin, the pre-existing site conditions had spring water piped underground. G Brown took advantage of this design opportunity to create a meandering stream for park users to enjoy.
Project elements include:
- Fell Tree
- Log Steps
- Naturalized Meandering Stream
- Log Bridges
- Sand Pit
- Tube Tunnel
- Embankment Slide
- Zip Line
- Swings
- Spinners
- Pavilion (Existing)
- Open Lawn
- Native Plantings
