Julian Feild Park Phase 2 - $750,000

Julian Feild Park Phase 2 improvements will
focus on enhancing the natural area located
north and northeast of the Veterans
Memorial. This phase expands passive
recreation opportunities while preserving
the site’s natural character and
strengthening its connection to the
memorial and surrounding trail system.
Improvements include the construction of a
looped decomposed granite trail that winds
through wooded areas, providing an
accessible and natural walking surface for
visitors. Along the trail, scenic overlooks are
incorporated to highlight views of the
surrounding landscape and provide quiet
spaces for reflection, particularly near the
Veterans Memorial. Wildflower planting
areas are introduced throughout the

corridor to enhance seasonal color, support
pollinators, and reinforce the park’s natural
environment. Phase 2 also adds additional
parking along the park edge to improve
access to the trail system and nearby
memorial features. Together, these improvements create a seamless extension of the Veterans Memorial
area, allowing visitors to transition from the formal memorial setting into a peaceful, nature-oriented
environment that supports walking, contemplation, and appreciation of the park’s natural surroundings.
