Wingfield and Barbara Bennett Parks Master Plan
Summary
The adopted plan would realign the road through Barbara Bennett Park, flip the Wingfield amphitheater to face east, and add shade and a festival-scale connection between the three downtown parks — at an engineering estimate of $12 million and climbing. One board member questioned whether park improvements belong in RDA's mission at all.
