Meeting Notes

While this was a focal point at meeting #2 in general people noted to the design team they preferred Proposal #1 as it would save more of the existing trees on site.

Design Notes

After working with Bill Harrington the City Arborist, Group Mackenzie determined a number of trees should be removed based on age, health, and maintenance. 33 tree varieties exist in Hawthorne Park currently and in total 22 trees are slated for removal. This analysis sincerely affected the overall tree canopy in proposals #1 and #2.

Design Notes

Overlaying the tree survey on Proposals #1 and #2 we determined which of the two proposals would remove more of the existing healthy trees. Sections cut across the park (A and B sections for both Proposal #1 and #2) show density of tree canopy. Proposal #1 tends to have a more evenly spread tree canopy while Proposal #2 maintains portions of the park with greater tree density. Proposal #1 removes fewer trees, 9 total trees whereas Proposal #2 removes 4 more trees based on the overall park layout.

Meeting Notes

In general Proposal #1 has longer paths that are better defined - this was met with positive feedback at meeting #3. Overall people preferred the paths on Proposal #1 because. A comment was made about using signage to mark the total distances for each of the paths in the final design so people can track the distance they have traveled during use.

Design Notes

We received a great deal of feedback regarding the importance of Loop Paths after Meeting #2. Both of the proposals have defined loop paths that vary in distances. Each have a Long, Medium, and Short Loop. This analysis board helped people who attended meeting #3 give feedback on which loops they preferred.

Meeting Notes

Some attendees felt more parking is better and needed for Hawthorne Park.

Design Notes

While both proposals have similar programmatic elements the sizes of these elements vary between the two proposals. This analysis board helped people at meeting #3 determine which programmatic elements they preferred to be larger and which they preferred to be smaller. Proposal #1 has a larger Field, Play Area, and Garden Space while Proposal #2 has larger Court Spaces, Splash Pad, Dog Park, and Parking Lots.

Design Notes

Proposal #1 tends to provide a better opportunity for staging as the Aquatic Center is located on the edge of the park where it would be easier to install an aquatic center after the overall park design has been implemented. Staging the park in preparation for the proposed aquatic center is a very important element of this masterplan process. We wanted to represent each of the proposals as a two part process where the Aquatic Center was removed from the overall scheme to show how this would affect each park design.

Meeting #3

Bear Creek
Benches placed along the Bear Creek Greenway to allow passersby to enjoy the creek and restoration.

The original Bear Creek Masterplan was further developed and integrated into the proposals presented today. Thinking about concrete art, the Bear Creek Overlook, riverbank restoration, and casual seating along the Greenway trail will enhance both of the schemes presented today

Corten fencing with intricate metal work provides an elegant edge for the border of the Greenway.

A compilation of elements that build upon ideas from the original Bear Creek Masterplan.

While excellent efforts have been made to the Bear Creek riverbank a sincere push toward restoring this creek will greatly enhance the overall appeal of the park. It will also proivide leisure as well as educational opportunities for the community.

Meeting Notes

Like that both options include elements of Bear Creek master plan. Clarification was given from meeting attendee regarding extent of restoration work completed to date. Comments were giving regarding preference for the overlook location. GM will review the proposed location as the design moves forward.

Design Notes

Both proposal #1 and #2 have these elements integrated into the proposed masterplan.

Proposal #1 Design Notes

Direct pathways Athletic courts located in the center of the park along the eastern edge Large playground grouped together with the splash pad, picnic shelter, restroom and gardens in the NE corner Large and small dog park located in the center of the park to encourage activity Aquatic center anchoring the SE corner of the park Bear creek overlook located under the I-5 viaduct Skate park located under the I-5 viaduct

Proposal #1 Meeting Notes

People preferred the Loop paths of proposal #1 because they are better defined and longer. People liked that the Splash Pad was located right next to the Play Area in Proposal #1 as this would give parents an opportunity to better monitor children and would provide children with multiple play opportunities. People preferred the location of the proposed Aquatic Center on Proposal #1 as it anchors the SE corner and after viewing the phasing diagram #1 would clearly be easier to implement. The notion of the Dog Park as a year round activity center helped provide support for proposal #1 as the Dog Park is located in the center of the park. People did comment on the need to increase parking in this proposal.

Proposal #2 Design Notes

More meandering pathways Athletic courts located in the center of the park along the Western edge Play areas are placed together at the NE corner of the park. 1.25 acre dog park located in the SE corner to help anchor and activate this edge Aquatic center located in the center of the park along the eastern edge Bear creek overlook located under the I-5 viaduct Skate park located under I-5

Proposal #2 Meeting Notes

People liked the amount of parking in this proposal. By locating the splash pad next to the Aquatic Center in the middle of the park people felt that Proposal #2 would have a very successful and active center. People were discouraged by the location of the courts as the location next to the Viaduct and the existing trees would shade the area making it less conducive for various court games. After looking at each of the analysis boards, Proposal #2 received less positive feedback than it did during meeting #2.

Final Notes

Outside of the comments on increasing the parking in Proposal #1 the general feedback from the meeting preferred the park layout and design of this proposal. We will continue to explore comments from the website but feel confident in the overall appeal of proposal #1 and will move this direction as we work to complete the final masterplan.
