Symons Valley Park will be a recreational and community hub where all residents and the public are welcomed and can experience a sense of community belonging, providing leisure amenities that encourage people to connect in public spaces. It will provide outdoor amenities to support physical, mental and social health for all ages, have a walk through, interactive regenerative agroforestry orchard, and contain a naturalized walkway/bike path with native trees and plants. The project will require minimal operation and capital maintenance dollars in the future. It Is designed to be primarily an outdoor space, with trees and green spaces designed with minimal maintenance requirements.
Once built, Symons Valley Park will be a publicly-accessible recreation destination for area residents. There is no comparable community amenity for the 25,000 area residents today, or the projected 33,700 residents once the communities are fully developed. Symons Valley Park will therefore be a key community asset for area residents.
