THE TOWERS PARK, GREENSPACE & VEGETATION RECOMMENDATIONS

The following recommendations were made according to feedback received and data collected showing both a need and opportunity for the development and expansion of green spaces within the 6th Street Sub-Area. Dayton Park is a well-loved facility that should expand with the growth of the rest of the site to accomodate the urban development.

• Consider expanding Dayton Park into the current Warren County Oil site.

• Work with a local artist to design an interactive sculpture, preferably metal or with an industrial flare.

• Implement prairie-style landscaping that requires low maintenance but adds character.

• Explore the idea of adding a walking path through the park.

• Add lighting along Summerset Trail and throughout Dayton Park.

• Consider additional benches and seating on the perimeter of the green space.

• Place trees and plantings along sidewalks where possible to soften the landscape.

• Place vegetation barriers along Summerset Trail and along N 6th Street.

• Consider shading devices overtop sections of Summerset Trail.
