Elbridge Town Park Master Plan
LOCATION:
Elbridge, NY
PROJECT SIZE:
19 acres
QPK Design provided master planning services to the Town of Elbridge for a park on, and adjoining, their municipal facilities complex in the Village of Jordan, NY. It was developed in collaboration with a steering committee comprised of town staff, town board, town planning board members, and community representatives. The existing complex includes the Elbridge town hall, town highway facilities and Jordan-Elbridge Community Center.
The plan includes: a network of trails connected to the Canalway Trail and municipal complex walks; new pond with fishing access/scenic overlook; picnic pavilion/performers shelter; outdoor concert seating area; interpretive play area; athletic courts; restroom; and additional parking. Nature education signage is proposed along the trails; and history education signage is proposed adjoining a planned retaining wall at the edge of the pond constructed with cut limestone block similar to that used on the historic canal which once existed along the south side of the park.
