Box 2340 Dublin, CA 94568 Project Description: The major design objective of the Shannon Park Renovation is to expand the park and recreational potential of the site in a manner that is consistent with and retains the character of the existing park and is compatible with the adjacent neighborhood. The present park character is passive in feeling. A large open turf meadow containing a small play and picnic area is separated from the Shannon Center building by a creek. Although Shannon is a community park and almost 10 acres in size, it was strongly recommended that the major park area between the creek and Shannon Avenue remain as a pastoral park, emphasizing passive rather than very active uses. A masterplan was prepared for this site in April of 1986 that recommends the following development: 1 . Expansion and development of a major childrens play facility 2 . Spray Pool 3 . Shannon Center Extry Development 4 . Parking area improvements 5. Revegetation of creek and pond development 6 . Hillside nature planting area 7. Garden patios adjacent to Shannon Center Additional recommended development of Shannon Park includes family picnic tables , revised walking circulates, park lighting, additional creek crossing and additional tree plantings.
