CONCEPT PROPOSAL
30 LA PLAZA PARK
La Plaza Park, one of the most heavily used parks within the City of Cotati, recently underwent a lighting renovation. Adding lighting to the park was a high priority for City Council and residents to improve safety and expand to potential nighttime usage.
The Parks Capital Plan proposes enhancements with a larger group picnic area near the existing playground structure at La Plaza Park. The group picnic area includes updated tables and benches.
The other existing picnic areas are proposed to be updated and include ADA accessibility to the tables.
The existing playground is proposed to be surrounded by a 3’ tall fence to keep children inside the playground boundaries and to prevent them from running into the street. The playground is also proposed to add more play equipment, musical in nature, to celebrate City of Cotati’s musical heritage.
Lastly, age-varied swings should be added to the playground area.
More practical facilities, such as bike racks and three-tiered drinking fountains, have been proposed in the park. The old fountain feature and old planters are proposed to be removed, as they are limited in function, located in awkward locations for the best use of park space and are not handicap accessible.
The plaques are proposed to be consolidated from around the park on a seat wall surrounding the playground.
The Demonstration Garden and Rose Garden are not proposed for any improvements as part of this conceptual master planning process.
In the northeast, a new pathway, more rural in nature, and seat walls are proposed to bring pedestrians into the previously unused areas.
Overall, La Plaza Park is proposed to receive significant upgrades to the existing features of the park, to make the features more useable and engaging.
*Plan graphics are representative of proposed improvements. City of Cotati reserves the right to change proposed improvements and elements.
