Nelly Custis Park Scope

• Correction of the existing drainage problems - A stormwater engineer would be contracted to address the

existing run-off problem. This could potentially include rain gardens, underground retention facilities and additional plantings

• Removal of invasive species - Existing invasive bamboo would be eradicated through a

multi-year process • Improve circulation for accessibility and park use

- Existing circulation paths would be reviewed for ADA compliance and brought up to code

• Additional school age play equipment - Includes “natural looking” play elements for 5-12 year olds - Play area would be located on the east side of the park

adjacent to the existing playground • Increased park shade with tree canopy plantings • New site furnishings

- Includes park signage, benches and trash/recycling receptacles
