Western Deck

The first park deck to open will be an energetic hybrid—establishing new park activity alongside a dynamic, working landscape.

The western “horn” of the Western Deck (approx. 13 acres) looks out north-east and sits in a flat bowl with one wall being the slope of the Eastern Deck. This secluded area is set aside as a performance space so live events such as concerts and kite festivals can activate this initial territory of the Park and establish a park presence.

The eastern “horn” of the Western Deck is the northern portion of the soil stockpile and will be used last by the Sanitation Districts. A 5-acre bike skills course will be a compatible interim use for this area. The soil can be graded and sculpted and serve the community for years until it is needed as landfill cover/repair material in the future.
