The expansion design also aims at unifying the park through site furnishings, fencing, color, and art. Despite the narrow expansion space, the metal shade structure promotes health and wellness with a covered, open-air space is sized to host exercise classes and other programs for all ages. The bandstand- inspired shape of the structure contributes to the uniqueness and cultural resonance of the park. The cupola, a typical element in Latin American bandstands resonates with the neighborhood's largely Latin American community. Artistic cladding will tie the pre-existing park and the new space together with the potential to become a cultural icon. In addition to promoting wellness and culture, for added safety, the shade feature incorporates structural and maintenance benefits. The roof, ceiling, and columns now being installed will be covered with a fire-resistant, easy to repair, resin-fiberglass material. The metal frame structure and cladding have been structurally designed for wind and seismic safety. A Phased Approach The expansion of Jardin de Niños Park began in 2014 and is divided into six phases. Phase 5 involves construction by McNabb Construction, Inc. and the fabrication of the metal structure. Table 1 below details the activities associated with each phase. To date, the City has completed several key steps, including purchasing the property, assessing the house for historic significance, navigating legal requirements, demolishing the dilapidated house, clearing the site, using the site for nearby construction staging, identifying metal fabricators willing to collaborate with an artist on the cladding and structural calculations for the metal frame, securing necessary permits, preparing construction drawings, conducting public bids, and setting up Wi-Fi service.
