<br />DRAFT MASTER PLAN FOR THE OPTS <br /> <br /> <br />Above: <br />Proposed design <br />for w"ysid. and <br />Delucchi Parks. <br /> <br />WAYSIDE & DELuCCHI PARKS <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> <br />Waysid@ and DeLucchi Parks are located oppo- <br />site each othet on the north and south sides of Neal <br />St. A basic recommendation of the DPTS Master <br />Plan is that the land in both parks. the adjoining <br />portion of the Regional Trail Corridor, and the area <br />around Fite Station No. 1 all be treated as one park <br />area. For this reason, the D PTS Master Plan rec- <br />ommends covering the drainage swale in and adja- <br />cent to Wayside Park. (It bisects the proposed park <br />area, is difficult to see into and to maintain, and no <br />longer carries water from nearby storm sewers.) <br /> <br />The combined facility of Wayside and DeLucchi <br />Parks should serve its immediate neighborhood <br />(both downtown to the west and residential areas to <br />the east) as well as the city as a whole. Wayside and <br />DeLucchi Parks would be a focus location on the <br />Regional Trail. The civic plazas on Neal Sr. would <br />form a gateway entry into the downtown area from <br />the east. <br /> <br />As the site of the Bandstand, Wayside Park is an <br />important community gathering place and perfor- <br />mance venue. The expanded Wayside Park would <br />include parking. and the site of the renovated Fire <br />Station No.1 (a recreation, performance, and activ- <br />ity center). making it a park which should support <br />many potential uses. <br /> <br />WAYSIDE & DELUCCHI PARKS DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS <br />20 <br />
