counter is located at the west end of the shelter. The wall be- hind the counter impedes visibility into the structure from the west side of the park. The existing small picnic tables do not accommodate larger groups. The shelter was constructed in the late 2000s with the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds which prohibits demolition and major re- model although the structure may be relocated and/or be sub- ject to minor remodeling as necessary. Potential Property Expansion During the master planning process several street rights-of- way were identified that bisect the park and that will need to be officially vacated. Summit Avenue was not built within a desig- nated right-of-way and will remain on park property where it crosses the southeast corner of the site. The resulting park site may need to be expanded to approximately 17 acres based upon the recommended master plan by acquiring prop- erty at the north side of the site. The city has initiated prelimi- nary discussions with the current property owner regarding potential acquisition of the property. PARK PROGRAMMING Potential Program Elements An evaluation of program needs is important to the develop- ment of any park master plan. A preliminary list of potential program elements that includes both active and passive rec- reational uses as well as support facilities was developed. This master list of potential program elements was advanced and refined based upon staff, Advisory Committee and public input. The following list was used for alternative concept develop- ment: • Play area is at least 10,000 SF. • Basketball with at least 2 half courts. • Community gardens with 10' x 20' plots. • Lighted parking lot(s) with a minimum of 100 spaces including accessible stalls. Parking serves 2 athletic field games (with 30 minutes between games) concur- rently with parking for the additional park activities. • Synthetic turf athletic fields, multi-use encouraged. • Minimum of one lighted synthetic turf baseball/softball field with a 300' outfield (no overlap with large soccer field) and more baseball/softball fields if possible. There is a 25' minimum distance between the foul lines 16 City of Everett
