Key Considerations:• Maintain/promote creek and wetland health• Transition from active to passive uses as you move away from the pond to

the eastern end of wetlands• Emphasize visual access from the road to the pond and wetlands• Capitalize on existing shade; create shade with proposed vegetation as

design develops• Create a variety of trail types for a multitude of users: ADA, paved bike,

mountain bike, passive ped trails, active ped/ ‘adventure’ trails• Provide easy access to important amenities: paddle board drop off, beach

access, bathrooms etc.• Create a variety of active and passive ways to experience the wetland,

including educational and interactive opportunities• Capitalize on existing views and strategically place elements so that their

view-shed is not compromised by development. Focus on the natural world and specific details

• Enhance and create connection to “wildness” • Capitalize on existing topography such as the existing bench on the

southern side of the wetlands and abundant flat space• Be mindful of maintenance requirements for all proposed design

elements• A very light construction footprint to preserve the wetlands to the

greatest extent possible while constructing paths and elements.
