Stonebrooke was responsible for the grading design for the site, including detailed design of new trails across the park to be ADA accessible and to provide better access to the park facilities. Multiple pedestrian ramp facilities that connect the park to the adjacent neighborhood street will be reconstructed to ensure ADA accessibility into the park. Stonebrooke was also responsible for the water resources design, which involved the design of multiple rain gardens to improve water quality and provide rate control for the additional runoff created by the added trails.

Project Overview
Beyond Design
Stonebrooke was also responsible for the water resources design, which involved the design of multiple rain gardens to improve water quality and provide rate control for the additional runoff created by the added trails. The stormwater design proved to be challenging, given the shallow groundwater in the area, the steep existing topography, and the lack of concentrated flow across the site. Therefore, a creative site grading design was done to maximize the amount of stormwater treatment in each rain garden.
