Lombard Park District

Lombard Park District 116 Chapter Six Observations Natural Resources and Environmental Conditions • Park landscape consists of mature trees and turf. Site Design and Aesthetics • The park has a 2-12 play year play structure, spring seesaw, and t-swing set with one belt swing and one tot swing. • The park also features a half court basketball court and a 0.1 mile asphalt trail that connects to the surrounding neighborhood pedestrian system on the north and south. • Site furnishings include a small picnic area, benches, and trash receptacles. A wooden fence acts as a buff er between the park and single-family dwellings on the east. • The park is well maintained and free of litter. • Park identifi cation signs are not present. • Parking is not provided by the District; however, there is a parking lot west of the park that primarily serves the multi-family housing. Health, Safety, and Compliance • The playground appears to be compliant with current playground safety guidelines and CPSC/ASTM standards. • The playground environment does not appear to meet ADA accessibility requirements for play environments as there is not accessible route/entrance for the play environment and the internal walkway's slope appear to be too steep to meet ADA requirements. • The playground has adequate separation from the roadway; however safe pedestrian entry and exit is limited. • No lighting is present. • The park's street frontage and proximity to multi- and single-family residential allows for adequate passive surveillance. • Rules and age appropriate notifi cation signs are present. Users and Context • Playground receives drop-in visitors from adjacent multi-family and single- family dwellings. • Multi-family residential is located west of the park while the eastern side is single-family residential. • The park's 0.1 mile internal walkway is connected to the neighborhood walk system. Recommendations and Considerations □ PLAN: stronger connections to adjacent multi-family residents □ PLAN: color surfacing and play container curbing to add interest □ DESIGN: consider enhanced park entry and identifi cation □ DESIGN: enhanced buff er between single-family residential (north) Edson Park Morris Avenue and Edson Street ELE WATER STORM SAN GAS TEL Utilities available: Classifi cation Mini Acres .45 Tax Number Leased - Vacated Street Acquired Leased from Village (1991) Mini Park Quantity Year Built .1 2005 Trails-Multi-Use (miles) Trails-Nature(miles) Trails-Fitness (Stations) Restrooms Concessions Storage Faclity/Building Picnic Shelter 1 Picnic Area 1 2004 Playground Sand Play Baggo 1 2005 Basketball (HALF) Baseball Batting Cages Bocce Disc Golf (holes) Driving Range Football Golf (holes) Roller Hockey Skate Park Sledding HIll Soccer Softball Tennis Volleyball Fishing Fishing Dock Ice Skating Swimming Pool Splash Pad Irrigation Lighting Parking (spaces) Floodway 100 Year Floodplain Water Wetland
