A new parking area in Steele Creek Park
This parking area is our first constructed of a porous pavement surface that can withstand vehicle traffic in wet weather while retaining a natural grass surface. This is a replacement to pavement or concrete and allows the city to maintain green space in the park – a parking lawn in effect.
Below the grass are several layers of rock and sand as well as a plastic grid system that supports the weight of the vehicles without causing damage to the grass root system. The grid and rock system also allows the area to absorb rains and thus provides storm water pollution filtration and treatment and is friendly to the environment.
A few photos can be found on the citymanagerjeffbroughton Facebook page if you’d like to be one of the first to see it.
Thanks to Parks and Recreation Director Terry Napier and his crews for this latest addition to Steele Creek Park
