Shadley Associates lead a team of consultants in the renovation of Kierstead Park. Improvements focused on an upgraded Little League ballfield and a new, expanded playground. The design improves universal accessibility to all areas of the park while providing a variety of activities that encourage play, movement, and social interaction. Park improvements include multi-purpose lawn space for entertainment and leisure, new playground equipment and rubber safety surfacing, picnic tables and benches, baseball field with spectator seating, new batting cage, and a loop walk for pedestrian circulation and maintenance access. New fencing and barrier netting protects the community from baseballs leaving the field of play, creating a safe and inviting environment for all. A new irrigation system will support the longevity of the ballfield while drainage improvements capture and infiltrate stormwater on site and address previous erosion and drainage problems. New planting introduces native vegetation for shade, habitat, and climate resiliency. The park was completed in the summer of 2024.
