BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
These improvements will entail completing the improvements at the X-Park
with landscaping. The landscaping is designed using the Desert Oasis landscape
palette, which uses hardscape textures with minimal planting to create an
aesthetically pleasing environment with lower installation, long-term
maintenance, and water costs. Both natural and artificial turf will be used at
standing and resting areas. Wall cleaning/painting complete the renovation
effort. There will also be a ‘board yard’ installed to allow participants to leave
portions of skate boards no longer useable; this is a concept brought over from
the skate park at the La Quinta Park.
In order to keep dust and maintenance at a minimum, decomposed granite,
turf, and artificial turf will be used on the interior of the X -Park. This will also
allow for guests to freely move around the interior of the park without the need
to avoid planting material.
