PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ <br />LIONS PARK PLAYGROUND <br />IMPROVEMENTS <br />The City of Costa Mesa wanted to renovate their existing park and <br />playground south of their new Donald Dungan Library. The directive <br />for Lions Park was to remove and replace the restroom building and <br />preserve the mature trees as well as install a new playground and <br />retain a vintage fighter jet play structure in place. The program for <br />users would be for ages 2 to 5 years and 5- to 12-year-old children <br />including universal access. The programming of the play elements <br />and surfacing of the playground design was inspired and driven by <br />the jet fighter and an overall aviation theme. The site was zoned with <br />the 2- to 5-year-olds to the west with swings with accessible seating <br />for all, springers and small playhouse within rubber surfacing and a <br />planter separation to a sand lot with sandcastle, table, and digger <br />within as added play elements for toddlers. The 5- to 12-year-old <br />area utilizes the renovated jet plane and a 2 towered play structure <br />with several climb and interactive elements. The aircraft carrier <br />rubberized surfacing pattern in between the structure and jet lent <br />the deck of the aircraft carrier to be utilized as a runway for a <br />zipline feature that allows the users to imagine flying over the deck. <br />Additional program elements are swings and accessible seesaw <br />and round -a -bout for all completing the playground. The mature <br />tree canopies allowed families to have instant shade provided while <br />their children engaged the site. <br />.......................................... <br />Client: City of Costa Mesa <br />Reference: <br />Hector Soriano <br />Associate Engineer <br />(714)754-5045 <br />hector.soriano@costamesaca. <br />gov <br />Key Elements: <br />• Universally accessible play <br />equipment <br />• Refurbished Fighter Jet <br />• Zipline swing <br />• Drought tolerant plantings <br />• Restroom <br />Services provided: <br />• Community Outreach <br />• Master Plan <br />• Construction Documents <br />• Construction Period Services <br />Acreage: approximately 1 <br />Start Date: Feb 2018 <br />Completion Date: July 2021 <br />Design Cost: $219,415 <br />Construction Cost: $2.4 million <br />DVD Project Manager: Gary <br />Vasquez <br />Staff: David Volz, Paul Cassar, <br />Luis Pedraza, Dana Bull <br />Subconsultants: DMS <br />Consultants, Design West <br />Engineering <br />.......................................... : <br />More Costa Mesa Projects: <br />UAW* 4r <br />Iv 1�eTra�1 : _J3114 Median <br />nr' <br />WestsideimpFi>EE <br />\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ <br />ON -CALL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT SERVICES, CITY OF SANTA ANA 10V1111111 <br />
