Pedestrian Bridge

The proposed pedestrian bridges will improve access throughout the site. These bridges will span the creek, making it easy for visitors to move between camping sites, parking, the nature play space, and trails. Designed to fit the natural landscape, they will provide a functional solution while maintaining the environmental integrity of the site. The bridges will encourage foot traffic and help visitors explore the area more easily. Below, you will find examples that illustrate the intended design and style of these pedestrian bridges.

Camping Platform

Campsites will range from 15 feet x 15 feet and 20 feet x 20 feet and may be accessed via spur trails. Depending on terrain and grading needs, campsites may include wooden platforms like the ones seen below to allow for minimally invasive site construction.

Gravel Trails

The gravel trail will be between 6 and 10 feet wide, with a vertical clearance of 8 feet. The trail shall be developed to accommodate existing slope and terrain changes, reducing the need to construct the route on a steep slope or remove large trees and shrubs, to the greatest extent possible. Trails shall be routed across the slope, rather than following it, to allow for increased usership by various skill levels, aiming to not exceed 5% grade. The path should be large enough to fit an emergency vehicle, if possible. Using a semi-porous material such as gravel will allow for water flow across the path, while also providing proper terrain to allow for vehicular access.

Communal Fire Pits

The large communal firepit will create opportunities for large group gatherings around the campfire and will be centrally located at the site. The firepit will be 4 - 6 feet in diameter with natural seating set back approximately 3 -5 feet for people to gather safely around the fire. The firepit will have approximately 10 feet of vertical clearance, to ensure fire safety. The communal firepit will also be easily accessed via trail from the park campsites. To ensure fire safety, the firepit will be constructed using fire resistant materials, such as stone, brick or metal. The firepit will be constructed on level ground of nonflammable materials such as gravel and stone to prevent any potential of fire spread. Fire extinguishing material should be available onsite, in the event of an emergency.

Restrooms

The proposed restrooms will provide essential facilities for visitors at the site. These restrooms will be strategically located for easy access from camping areas, parking, and trails. Designed for durability and low maintenance, they will ensure that visitors have a comfortable and hygienic experience while enjoying the many recreation features at the site. Below, you will find examples that demonstrate the intended design and layout of these restroom facilities.

Entrance Kiosks

The proposed entrance kiosk will serve as a vital resource for visitors to the site. The kiosk will be strategically placed at the primary trail entrance point before the bridge to provide essential information, including maps key information, and points of interest within the site. Designed for durability and visibility, the kiosks will help enhance the visitor experience by guiding users as they explore the property. Below, you will find examples that illustrate the intended design and functionality of the entrance signage.

Yurts

Yurts will be constructed on small, raised platform between 17 feet and 22 feet wide, with approximately 12 - 15 feet of overhead clearance. Platforms will be constructed into the land to reduce grading and leveling needs and rendering them more cost effective and durable over time. Yurts will be made of waterproof and bearproof material to ensure visitor safety.

Nature Play Space and Zipline

The nature play space can range from 20 feet x 15 feet to 30 feet x 25 feet. The play space will incorporate weather treated natural materials such as pressure treated logs and rocks. This space will be kept separate from the planned zip line route at the site, and the ground will be constructed of porous materials.
