Neighborhood Park Redevelopment aims to revitalize a current Land and Water Conservation Fund park, originally funded in 1984, by addressing its lack of ADA accessibility. Since 1984, Neighborhood Park has remained unchanged, aside from the resurfacing of its tennis and basketball courts. Constructed prior to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, it lacks any accessibility features.
The Town of Granite Falls will focus on inclusivity by enhancing amenities tailored to diverse groups. Through the incorporation of universal design principles, including ADA-compliant features such as accessible parking, walkways, multipurpose courts, outdoor exercise equipment, shade structures, and a sensory playground, the park will become welcoming to all community members.
