This project seeks to develop a “Master Plan” for the South San Jose Park. Completing the park master plan involves designing excellent park amenities based on community priorities, considering engineering and technical site conditions, and ensuring that ideas and concepts are feasible and practical.

Community Charrette
In 2019, the City of Albuquerque’s Parks and Recreation Division held a community design charrette to gain input into the types of improvements that could be made at the South San Jose Park. Attendees were separated into three groups to create a plan for the park utilizing templates of potential amenities as well as freehand drawing.
