Pedestrian I Non-motorized Access and Circulation As part of the city's effort to create a sustainable design the park, pedestrian and non-motorized vehicle access is encour- aged by providing safe, enjoyable and convenient access to and within the park, and to the city's multimodal trail system. All park activities and routes are accessible. Most pedestrian visitors to the park will be approaching from the surrounding residential neighborhoods to the south, west and north. The design creates inviting pedestrian access from the neighborhoods. Pedestrian entrance plazas are located at the southwest and northwest corners of the park, and on the south side at the end of Highland Avenue. Low seat walls with special enticing architectural and horticultural elements wel- come neighbors to the park. Sidewalks are constructed along all street rights-of-way adjacent to the park. ADA access is provided into the park from all sidewalks, parking lots and en- try plazas. An information kiosk in the southwest entry plaza orients new visitors to the park layout and activities. A variety of concrete paved, accessible pedestrian pathways provide access to all park activities. A pedestrian perimeter loop path surrounds the athletic fields and neighborhood open spaces. Several sub-loops provide optional routes for jogging, walking, tricycles/small bikes, and other low speed forms of non-motorized transportation. Path gradients are maintained at less than 5% except at accessible ramps as noted on the plan. In a few locations where stairs are required, an alternate ac- cessible route is provided.
