We’ve developed two design concepts for the new splash pad at Lions Park, based on resident feedback.

Please review and share your feedback on each option. Your input will help shape a space that’s fun, welcoming, and enjoyable for families and visitors of all ages.

This activity will take 10 minutes to do. It closes February 22, 2026.

Option A provides a balanced mix of seating, shade, and age‑distinct play zones with a layout that spreads amenities evenly across the site. Seating appears slightly more concentrated around the central and southern edges of the splash pad.

Age‑appropriate zones

Both options organize the splash pad area into three clearly defined age‑appropriate zones. Here are the zone locations for option A:

• Toddler area: Positioned near the playground and closer to existing swings, making it convenient for families with young children.
• Youth area: Centrally located for easy visibility and access.
• Active area: Positioned farther from toddler spaces, providing more room and appropriate distance.

Amenities and features

• Seat walls: Distributed around the splash pad for passive viewing and resting.
• Shade structure: Located adjacent to the splash pad, providing sun protection for supervising caregivers.
• Shade trees: Placed along the perimeter for natural shade over time.
• Bike racks: Near the main path for easy access.
• Trash bins: Positioned along walkways.
• Site furniture: Benches and tables located near the splash pad and shade.
• Baseball diamond net extension: The netting will be extended vertically and horizontally to provide additional safety.

Option B offers a more centralized gathering experience, with shade, seat walls, and furniture arranged closer together. The splash pad zones are more integrated, offering easier movement between age‑appropriate spaces.

Age‑appropriate zones

Both options organize the splash pad area into three clearly defined age‑appropriate zones. Here are the zone locations for option B:

• Toddler area: Near the playground, with a more compact footprint.
• Youth area: Positioned close to the shade structures and some seating areas.
• Active area: Oriented to create a more open, high‑energy space, and a different relationship to the seating zones.

Amenities and features

• Seat walls: Distributed more tightly around the splash pad for passive viewing and resting.
• Shade structure: Positioned to offer central coverage over shared seating and transition zones.
• Shade trees: Distributed more evenly along the site edges.
• Bike racks: Near the main path for easy access.
• Trash bins: Slight variation in placement but similar distribution.
• Site furniture: Concentrated near the shade structure for comfortable supervision and gathering.
• Baseball diamond net extension: The netting will be extended vertically and horizontally to provide additional safety.
