The 3.6-acre park is situated in the Alamo Creek sustainable community development in Danville, California. Through its unique land plan and innovative water conservation pact with East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), it received the Project of the Year award for Sustainable Land Development Visionary.
Ric Hendricks, Project Manager, oversaw the design of protected open space and 25 acres are devoted to parks and recreational facilities including a Soccer Complex, Aquatic & Community Center, and connections to the East Bay Regional Parks trail system, all of which were designed and managed by Ric. Services included alternative design scenarios, conceptual design, design development, construction documents, material selection, statement of probable construction cost, and construction observation.
This became the largest park in the development with inclusive elements for all participants. Central seating and ample picnic/barbeque venues provide space for family and group gatherings. A custom restroom building doubles as the maintenance crew headquarters and central command center for the developmentās irrigation system.
