Council Street Park

McAdams was commissioned to prepare a master plan for High Point’s Council Street Park. The master planning process included a detailed site analysis, needs assessment, natural resources investigation, programming analysis, public engagement meetings, development of alternative design concepts, preparation of an estimate of probable cost and a final presentation to City Council for adoption of the plan. The concept features a variety of program elements targeting a range of ages to promote health and well-being through exercise, art and person-to-person interaction. The park character reveals the site’s natural features and imagines an aesthetic that inspires youthful energy and creativity. Finally, the park will serve as stormwater management device to capture, detain and filter stormwater before it enters the adjacent stream.
