-ago j; Los Amigos Park Rancho Cucamonga, CA Completion Date: 2017 Project Size: IS Acres Design Cost: $362,000 Construction Cost: $ 2.7M Client Reference Elisa Cox Assistant City Manager City of Rancho Cucamonga (909) 477-2700 1 Elisa.Cox@cityofrc.us Project Summary This 3.5 acre parcel located in the dense residential area of Rancho Cucamonga was in need of a neighborhood park and greenspace. Using State Park Development and Community Revitalization Grants, the City was able to finance the project without limiting park amenities. The new park site includes an outdoor fitness center with dynamic exercise stations to promote healthy living. Other active recreation amenities include a full basketball court, spray play and shaded playground elements, and even a skate spot to appeal to the teens and pre -teens. Picnic pads are dotted throughout the park, while visitors looking for shade can enjoy the overhead picnic shelter. Maintaining a sustainable design, vegetative swales were designed throughout the site to capture and control stormwater, while the site was landscaped using California native and drought tolerant plantings to minimize water usage. Materials from the site were re -used to construct the site features, while other required materials were locally sourced. Community involvement was a key component in the process, involving residents in community workshops to decide on the elements incorporated in the park. Local clubs and volunteers assisted in the plant material installation, while local artists participated in the creation of public art to be displayed in the park. hk Project Team Community Inspired Spaces Q ,RIF DESIGN Principal: Zachary Mueting GROUP Project Manager: Erik Curran RJ M City of Santa Ana - On -Call Landscape Architectural Services 117
