REC & PARK: Buchanan Street Mall is five consecutive blocks of green space, asphalt paths, and under-performing playgrounds. Within the five blocks are several temporary gardens, tree planters, seating areas, string/decorative Lighting, and interactive sculptural multimedia installations that explain the neighborhood’s history. Key design elements include the following: • Children's Play Areas: updated play areas in the Eddy-Turk and Turk-Golden Gate street blocks for toddler and school age kids with swings, climbing structures, balance bars, spinners, rubberized surfacing, seating and picnic areas; • Fitness Areas: basketball half court in the Eddy-Turk block; exercise equipment and a path in the Turk-Golden Gale block; and a full basketball court in the Golden Gate-McAllister block; • Event Spaces: a plaza for recreational events, informal concerts, and community gatherings in the Turk-Golden Gate Block; raked lawns and picnic table seating in the Golden Gate-McAllister block; stage (with associated power and storage), and a large raked lawn in the McAllister-Fulton block; • Increased Green Space and Communal Gardens: expanded mown turf, shrub plantings, and native ground cover, and drought-tolerant plants, bioswales, and large trees, and communal gardens to engage neighbors; • Memory Walk: a wide, well-lit, and prominent walkway to provide connectivity across the entire Buchanan Mall, incorporating community art and interpretive signage along the path; • Gathering Areas: within most blocks (Eddy-Turk being the exception), intimate spaces with benches and/or tables provide opportunities for spillover activities and intergenerational conversation; and • Micro-Enterprise sheds or kiosks: temporary or fixed in place kiosks are proposed for activation by local entrepreneurs and food providers (pending further review). The spiral sculpture near McAllister and Ella Hill Hutch would be retained.

REC & PARK: Buchanan Mall is five consecutive blocks of green space, asphalt paths, and under-performing playgrounds. Within the five-blocks are several temporary gardens, tree planters, seating areas, string/decorative lighting, and interactive sculptural multimedia installations that explain the neighborhood's history. The project would renovate the Turk - Golden Gate block of the deteriorated and outdated pedestrian mall/park and create a model urban-park that aligns with the community's wishes and desires for the project area, including: - Children's Play Area: A well-lit space with swings, a climbing structure, balance bars, spinners, rubberizing surfacing, seating areas for caregivers, and a drinking fountain. - Fitness Area: An exercise space for youth adults and seniors with exercise equipment and a path would be installed. - Event Plaza: An event plaza for recreational events, informal concerts, and community gatherings would be constructed. - Community Gardens and Landscape: The perimeter of the site would include beds planted with healing herbs, food, flowers, and drought-tolerant plants; bioswales to provide storm water capture; and large trees to provide shade and reduce heat island effect. - Memory Walk: A system of wide, well-lit, and prominent walkways around the block that would connect people across the project site, and eventually connect to the other Buchanan Mall blocks. It would incorporate community art and interpretive signage. - Gathering Area: The gathering area is a smaller space next to the Events Plaza that would provide opportunities and facilities for inter-generational activities and games. It would include trees, benches, tables and chairs, lighting, and other site amenities. - Micro-Enterprise shed or kiosk: A kiosk for activation by local entrepreneurs and food providers. The project would require approximately 1,300 cubic yards of excavation. The estimated construction duration is twelve months.
