The Central Point section ofthe Bear Creek Greenway is a 52 acre site that boasts several natural features including Bear Creek, Elk Creek, Mingus Pond, wetlands, and riparian areas. Following the September 2020 wildfire that devastated this section of the Greenway, the City of Central Point has taken a proactive approach to managing the area. The city has implemented regular maintenance measures to minimize the risk of future fires and has increased police patrols. This project creates a master plan for the site that includes restoring natural areas, mitigating the potential for future catastrophic wildfires, and providing increased recreation opportunities. The design aims to ensure public accessibility to the park, allowing people to have direct and meaningful experiences with the creek, riparian areas, and enliven this critical community asset. Community feedback will be sought throughout the design process. Please stay tuned by visiting the Central Point webpage devoted to this project. Please review the design concepts and let us k^ow your feedback! use the sticky colored dots, placing them next to images and elements that you would like to see incorpoEted into the final design - v Y- tL $b rldzfr'- ,/ ResLore\llrl -.

The Centra Point Creekside (Boes) property is a recent addition to the city's network of public lands. The property is located on the northern edge of the city, along Bear Creek, a tributary ofthe Rogue River, and the Bear Creek Greenway, a 20-mile multi-use path. This project will create a conceptual site design plan for the 34-acre Creekside Property. The project site encompasses Bear Creek, riparian areas, stands of mature trees, two upland meadows, and diverse wildlife. Preserving and restoring the natural spaces is a crucial objective of the park design. Simultaneously, the design aims to ensure public accessibility, allowinB people to have direct and meaningful experiences with the natural environment, with outdoor education and wildfire resiliency being important elements of the design.
