The city of Mission on Thursday evening held a public meeting to get feedback from residents on the upcoming improvement project at Mohawk Park, at 67th Street and Lamar Avenue.
Confluence, a landscape architecture, planning and urban design firm in Kansas City, and SFS Architecture are leading the Mohawk Park Master Plan. The Confluence team, including Senior Principal Terry Berkbuegler, presented two preliminary options for the park, both of which included the following:
- Soccer fields (two in option one, three in option two )
- A loop trail
- An updated playground
- A restroom facility
- A basketball court
- Fitness stations for all ages
- A yard game area (horseshoe and washer pits)
Berkbuegler said the options presented to the room of approximately 50 attendees were not at all set in stone, but were put together to offer them something to bounce ideas off of. If there was something attendees liked, disliked or saw missing, the team wanted to hear it and take those comments back to the drawing board, he said.
