Through this land use plan, RDG was able to recommend future development patterns that minimize environmental impact, create shared vehicular and trail transportation corridors, maximize public and private investment, and establish long-range natural resource management strategies. 

Phase 1 improvements located on the southeast corner of the park, or Community Corner, adjacent to single-family residential neighborhoods were designed in 2014 and constructed in 2015. The architectural character, aesthetics, ecological stormwater management elements and reconstructed prairie areas completed in Phase 1 establish the vernacular for future phases of the park.
