On June 15 at the Council’s public meeting, Sarah Wolff from the Olmstead Park Conservancy, presented the current updates to the Bingham Park Master Plan. See the images below or view at the website (above).
The final master plan builds on the original Olmsted Plan from over 100 years ago. Bingham Park will become a linear neighborhood park with dramatic topography and picturesque views as it was originally envisioned by the Olstead Brothers in 1915. The Bingham Park plan is organized around a central promenade and three main programmatic areas: the amphitheater, a central playground, and an active play and exercise area. The updated Master Plan will prioritize accessibility as well as, modernizing and reevaluating park amenities like restrooms, shelters, lighting, and the infrastructure needed to serve the park and to meet community needs.
Some of the features include: ADA Viewing Area, Accessible Playground, Amphitheater, Dry-Laid Stone Stage, Exercise Area, Resurfaced Basketball Court, Woodland Overlook - 2, Native Landscape Restoration, New Shelter and Restrooms, New Splash Pad, Improved Swain System, Improved Parking and Sidewalk, Improved Pedestrian Safety, 4 foot wide Crushed Stone Path, and 10 foot wide Accessible Path.
