Program Requirements:

This project redevelops 3,000 linear feet of shoreline destroyed during Hurricane Charley. The initial steps taken in creating this park included the acquisition of privately held parcels to ensure that the area would be preserved for future generations. The project took into consideration links to the community for access by walkers, cyclists, motor vehicles, canoe and kayakers.

This park will provide the surrounding neighborhood and future generations of park users with a glimpse into the historic vistas that attracted settlers to Charlotte Harbor. Amenities include several grassed and paved parking areas, picnic and pavilion areas restroom, play ground, boardwalks, sidewalks shell pathways and interpretive gathering places along with installation of water and sewer restoration and storm drainage systems for treatment and attenuation.

Public participation was important in preserving a neighborhood feel for the park. This project will provide a venue for the history of the area to be presented in a natural setting. Public workshops helped the team to successfully gather valuable input from local residents, potential users, and interested civic groups such as the Charlotte Harbor Redevelopment Authority, and the local Historical Society.

The Architect’s responsibilities include the design for the kiosks, picnic shelters, large covered pavilion, water pavilion and restroom structure. The historical theme of the park has influenced the design of the structures, which draw from early construction techniques used throughout the area. As a result, many of the structures employ heavy timber framing with pile foundations as their structural system.
