Park amenities would also include a community sports pad (for tennis, basketball, Pickleball and more) open lawn spaces (for gatherings and sports), an amphitheater, and event plaza/splash pad. The park would also feature landscaped entry plazas at the corners as well as internal and external trails. HUG 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE ar�ir< P��Par F Peest manir<uM[ nw�wm,wi,.
