Tiburon unveils conceptual designs for parks upgrades

One of the design concepts for the former sanitation ponds at McKegney Green. 'The proposed plan includes a basketball court with terraced seating, two sand volleyball courts, a shaded picnic area, relocation of the primary bicycle route to provide a safer connection to the adjacent field and waterfront and sustainable habitat planting,' the town says.

Early concepts to upgrade four Tiburon parks include basketball, beach volleyball and an outdoor lounge near McKegney Green, accessible play areas at Cypress Hollow Park, nature-based features at Belveron Mini Park and a new walking trail and seating at the Bel Aire play area.

The town’s Parks, Open Space and Trails Commission is set to discuss the concepts at a special 6 p.m. Feb. 23 meeting at Town Hall. Residents can submit feedback online through tomorrow, Feb. 19, or during the meeting.

The town last year hired Mill Valley-based RHAA Landscape Architecture and Planning to create the concepts for the former sanitation ponds site near McKegney Green and for Belveron Mini Park, with Santa Rosa-based Carlile Macy Inc. designing concepts for Cypress Hollow Park and the Bel Aire play area.

The preliminary designs, unveiled Feb. 10, are based on resident feedback and input from town officials, including the parks commission and Town Council.

Public Works Engineering Manager David Eshoo said designers will use commission and community feedback to revise plans before presenting them to the Town Council on March 18. Councilmembers will then review and provide direction before final construction documents are prepared.
