• MISSISSIPPI OAKS - NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNITY PARK <br /> Description <br /> The park is approximately 1.2 acres, flat, and without existing vegetation. <br /> The site is bound by Elgin and 180th Avenue NW on two sides and residential <br /> back yards on two sides. <br /> Site Issues <br /> • Park size <br /> • Buffering neighbors <br /> • Buffering road <br /> • Utility structure on corner <br /> Proposals <br /> • The park is limited by the relatively small size after buffering the <br /> neighbors and the road. <br /> • Massing of vegetation is used to create a sense of space in the park and to <br /> define the open space, create buffers, create shade, and to block winter <br /> winds. <br /> • • Two of the three options use a walking path to orient the site. <br /> • Each option contains a play structure and two options include a half court. <br /> HILLSIDE 5TH PARK <br /> Description <br /> Hillside Park is approximately 4.5 acres with about 1% acres of open flat land <br /> and the remainder in woods with a few small ponds. Access to the site is <br /> limited to the cul-de-sac of 195th Avenue NW through a trail connector, or <br /> through a power line easement. A water retention pond restricts access off <br /> Auburn Street NW. <br /> Hillside Park is unique being connected to a north/south trail corridor <br /> following the natural gas easement. Currently the trail extends from 197th <br /> south to Hillside. Potentially the trail could be extended and connected to <br /> the future Deerfield 2 Park. The power line corridor is also a potential trail <br /> corridor to the northwest. <br /> • <br />
