Abstract

The City of Detroit, Oregon contracted with the Community Planning Workshop (CPW) to design a new city park located on their former elementary school site. The park will be co-sited with a civic building and fire station. The purpose of this plan is to identify the Detroit community's needs and desires for the park site, culminating with a City approved design concept. The vision for Detroit's new civic park captured in this document can be used as a communication tool as the City seeks and allocates funding for capital construction costs. This document presents (1) a description of the site's existing conditions and the design process; (2) final design recommendations, phasing plan, and cost estimate; and (3) appendices detailing initial design concepts as well as public and City feedback.
