Description/History
The Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation (MPFDC) purchased a 60-acre tract in January, 2004, to serve as a community park and a major trail-head and connection for the continuation of the Walnut Creek Linear Park trail system. The MPFDC allocated funds in the FY2010-2011 budget to begin the design of the new community park. Land Design Partners was selected to complete the Master Plan phase of the project. That phase included data gathering and site research, site analysis and documentation, visioning sessions, benchmarking, program development, concept development, preliminary master plan and concept design, and culminated with the final master plan. The master plan was approved by the MPFDC and City Council in August of 2011.

This proposal includes completing design and construction documents for Phase 1.
