Seagroves Farm ParkACRES 11 Acre LOCATION Inside Seagrove Farms, 201 Parkfield DriveTYPE Neighborhood Park PRIMARY USE Walking, Running, Fishing/FUTURE: Playground3-45 | Section 3
Parks & Recreation Plan Update | 2013A walking trail loops around the back of the pond and connects to the sidewalk in Seagroves Farm.StrengthsSeagroves park is relatively new and provides a beautiful setting for a short walk, picnic, or quiet place to read. The pond features a boardwalk andoutlook suitable for fishing or relaxing. A trail surrounding the pond weaves through the woods and connects to paths in an adjacent neighborhood.Ample parking is provided, and a restroom facility and playground are currently under construction.ChallengesOne challenge of this park is the location. Being tucked into a neighborhood presents the park as a private amenity. It may be beneficial to place signageor an identifying park feature along Center Street so residents know this resource is available for public use.SENSORY OBSERVATIONSThe park provides a quiet setting for passive recreation in the neighborhood. There is noise from Center Street but the existing vegetation buffers mostof it. A variety of spaces offer options to enjoy shade and sun; the addition of passive amenities would enhance the opportunity to chose these spaces.PHYSICAL ACCESS AND ACTIVITY LEVELThe site has a paved trail around it, and access to each site feature. There is moderate activity level on this site.Potential OpportunitiesSignage along Center Street would help identify the park as accessible to the public and not as a part of a neighborhood. Additional passive elements canbe added over time including picnic areas, walking trails, and plant identification. Since many residents can walk and/or bike to the park, bicycle parkingshould be provided. There is a small wooded area near the fishing pier that could offer nature trails with plant identification. Additionally mile markersand fitness stations could be added.3-46 | Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Inventory
