Present/Future Ideas for North High Shoals City Park
April 20, 2009

Issues that may, or may not affect the planning design for the park
  • Plan for a new Town Hall with restrooms located near existing parking area
  • Septic field will take up a good amount of space
  • Parking lot may need to be increased in size
  • Playground will grow toward the pavilion soon
Beautification thoughts:
  • Define borders for parking area
  • Road frontage more attractive (shrubs, vines, flowers?) that help cover chain link fence
  • Walking path (trees & shrubs?)
  • Define area around pavilion (short stone wall or shrubs?)
  • Arbor with vines that leads to playground
  • Flower bed fencing removed or replaced with something more rustic
  • Addition of areas with native shrubs and flowering plants that define smaller area for sitting and enjoying scenery
Possible Future additions
  • Drinking fountain(s)
  • Exercise signs introduction different physical fitness activities
  • Play area for older kids (e.g. skateboarding, volleyball, disc golf, basketball, etc)
  • Earthen mound for play
  • Nature trail through woods
  • Picnic area closer to old barn
  • Mountain bike trail through woods
