Carmen Playfield

Project Description

Carmen Playfield and fieldhouse will be renovated to create an accessible recreation space that supports the diversity of users in the Havenwoods neighborhood.

Site access will be clarified through the use of secured vehicle-only entries, and improved fencing at the playfield perimeter. Site-wide lighting will be provided to support park visitor safety year-round. The fieldhouse will be renovated to allow for universal access to all common areas, install more durable materials and finishes, and improve building security through the installation of new windows and doors.

The playfield is currently used by many different groups, and the new design will improve the ability for each to enjoy the park year-round. Multiple low-impact recreational opportunities will be provided through the construction of walking loops and seating areas. Renovations include tot-lots and splash pads, a variety of basketball practice play areas, and shaded seating areas. The project will also include three Tuj Lub Courts, a popular Hmong game; the courts at Carmen will be the fourth of their kind in the entire country!
