Project Summary & Public Benefits
The voter-approved 2008 bond measure provided funds to redevelop Somerset West Park in the Rock Creek area. The board-approved park design is based on public input, regulatory factors, and park management needs.
Phase 2 improvements will be completed in years to come when funding is available for this site. Overall park improvements include an athletic field, open lawn areas, picnic areas and shelter, play areas, sport courts, pathway improvements, site furnishings, creek and natural area restoration, and additional parking. The existing swim center will remain.
