JOHN D MORGAN PARK, CAMPBELL <br />Project Description: The City's grand vision has been to <br />provide recreation and learning opportunities to a large part of <br />the population previously underserved and set out to create <br />an all-inclusive play area within the mature John D Morgan <br />Park. The City engaged the PRC and established an Ad <br />Hoc subcommittee to lead the design process. Community <br />engagement was integral in developing the park site through <br />several workshops and lead to the'Play in the Trees' theme <br />and play features. <br />The existing site was well established but working within <br />the existing forested site and underground root systems <br />required an adept team to keep the project moving in a <br />timely efficient process. The site also included underground <br />utilities within easements that were protected in place during <br />construction but required a team effort from manufacturer <br />to installer to avoid field conflicts. The playground amenities <br />allow users of all levels to play side by side without barriers <br />and the introduction of a picture exchange communication <br />board (PECS) for non verbal park users. This may be the <br />first installation of a PECS board in a public park in northern <br />California. <br />Program: <br />• New play structure wheelchair accessible at upper and <br />lower elevations and without barriers <br />• Engagement berm with slides and climbers <br />• Swing and sway zone <br />• Tot play zone and spinner zone <br />Accessible drinking fountain, pathways and picnic areas, <br />variety of seating options, and traditional benches <br />Services: Site design, planting and irrigation design, <br />stormwater management, construction documents, and <br />construction administration services <br />Client: City of Campbell <br />Fred Ho, Senior Civil Engineer <br />70 North First Street <br />vCampbell, CA 95008 <br />408.866.2156 1 fredh@cityofcampbell.com <br />American Public Works Association (APWA) <br />2022 Project of the Year (Env/Parks < $2 M) <br />Size:1 acre <br />Consultant PM: Todd Young <br />Construction Cost: $1.4 million <br />Schedule: Construction completed December 2021 <br />i4SPAHITEC U I IL ENGINEERING •SPORT PLANN{ G &DESIGN � 19 <br />1 f, <br />
