Romero Park<br><b>Client:<\/b> Bernalillo County (N.M.) Parks and Recreation Department<br><b>AEC firm:<\/b> Weston Solutions Inc.<br><b>Cost:<\/b> $892,000 (Phase I)<br><b>Project delivery method:<\/b> Design-bid-build<br><b>Completed:<\/b> May 2009<\/p>\r <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2003, Senior Park Planner Clay Campbell struck a deal with the University of New Mexico&#8217;s Landscape Architecture Program: have graduate students prepare preliminary designs for a new park in Albuquerque. The agreement allowed the county to stretch limited financial resources while giving students valuable experience in learning how far $2,500 can go.<\/p>\r <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result: Four acres of recreation space in an area where parks are scarce. Now residents have convenient access to playgrounds, a climbing wall, walking paths, a picnic area, and connections to a local bicycle path.<\/p>\r <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The space also offered an opportunity to smooth hard feelings between residents of an established subdivision and those of a newer development that was built on farmland. By hosting informal meetings to gather feedback, the students cultivated a sense of community between residents of both subdivisions, which surround the park.<\/p>\r <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe students brought tremendous creativity to the project and were able to help me advance it,\u201d says Campbell.<\/p>\r <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seven graduate students, grouped into three teams, prepared three master plan concepts based on public input. A team from Weston Solutions Inc. (formerly Resource Technology Inc.) combined common threads and complementary patterns from the three plans into a single design that incorporates elements that work best together.<\/p>\r <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure a 100-year storm event wouldn&#8217;t drain into existing stormwater facilities that are already overtaxed, the developer of the newer subdivision was required to dig a retention pond on the park site that eventually became a weed-infested eyesore. Incorporating community feedback gathered by the students \u2014 and key to the aesthetics of the park \u2014 Weston designed a grading plan that spread water around the site and eliminated the need for a fence around the pond. Runoff entering the site through numerous drainage easements around the park&#8217;s perimeter is channeled into shallow bio-swales and diffused across the park to irrigate native and xeric plantings as well as low-water-use hybrid turf. Comprised of a \u201creservoir\u201d blend of gravel, compost, and native soils, the swales are capped with stepping stone-like pieces of broken concrete slabs that provide a path throughout the park.<\/p>\r <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recycled concrete from streetscape and sidewalk replacement projects also controls erosion. To reduce runoff generated within the park, porous concrete \u2014 a first for Albuquerque \u2014 was used to pave the parking lot. The entry plaza is paved with permeable bricks.<\/p>\r <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second phase of construction is under way to add basketball and sand volleyball courts as well as another picnic area and walking paths. It will cost the county $580,000 and is expected to be completed by September.<\/p>\r<\/div> \r","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Victoria K.
