Design Development Master Planning:
Master planning is a general term ud for this process of transforming conceptual design ideas into an organized plan of elements, spaces, and corridors. Design concepts are the evolution of design ideas which have progresd through the initial planning process. Through analysis, the ideas are measured against conceptual level criteria for establishing general feasibility and acceptance. Design concepts form the basis for site features by establishing the general us and activities that are to take place on the site. This process is refined through spatial diagramming which helps to establish the general size, shape, orientation, location, and relationships between activities or u areas being developed.
Spatial Diagram:
As part of the master planning process, spatial diagrams have been prepared that graphically illustrate the park within the larger context of the surrounding downtown area.Further diagramming of the parks nodes and paths reveal the internal connectivity of park features. All together the diagrams enable a clearer understanding of the relationships between elements of the park and their connection to the surrounding downtown. Evaluation of the relationships reveals certain qualities or deficiencies in the ordering and connectivity of park elements. Understanding the relationships allows for better decision making, resulting in incread conformance with proven principles of circulation, access, entry, u, function, and aesthetics.

As part of the overall master planning process, an understanding of the factors and circumstances which influenced the evolution of the park design is needed. The following is a summary of the park history, design, ownership, utilization, and factors contributing to

Park History and Development:
yijiThe development of Harris Riverfront Park occurred in 3 parate design and construction phas over a twenty year period between 1977 and 1997. The following sub-paragraphs describe each pha of work.
Pha 1- Boat Launch (east end): Completed in 1977, the first pha consisted of the boat launch ramp, utilities, access road, comfort station, parking, and the designation of a marina location. As part of the cost share requirement the City conveyed the land (limits designated in the site plan) to the Federal Government in return for monetary credit against the shared project cost.

Pha 3- Riverboat Docking Facility (west end) : Completed in 1997, the third pha consisted of the large vesl docking area, handicap fishing access, comfort station and associated parking.
All three phas were funded as a 50/50 cost share between the City and the Corps of Engineers. Phas 1 and 3 were designed by the COE. Pha 2 was designed by Ridenour and Associates, a landscape architecture firm out of Pittsburgh PA, in coordination with the COE.
Park Lea:

The City currently leas the 24 acre park from the Federal Government and provides for the operation and maintenance of park lands and facilities in lieu of lea payments. The 50 year lea began on August 15, 1977. It is typical COE policy to renew lea agreements when Les have successfully managed the lead area in compliance with t terms. The City currently has a sub-agreement with the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District for the operation and maintenance of the park. Currently this is a
50 year agreement which began on August 15, 1977. The Big Sandy Civic Arena and Holderby’s Landing Marina have sub-agreements with the City for the specified recreational and events activities at the park.
Park Evolution:天使简笔画
Harris Riverfront Park evolved in stages without an overall plan to guide the park design as a whole. During each parate design stage, future phas were not envisioned or planned, thus, design decisions were made bad on goals and objectives specific to that point in time. As a result, each pha was designed to function independently of any future component. Conquently each was constructed with distinguishable park end points from which each subquent pha of design and construction began. This created a ries of park ends and beginnings; disrupting the flow of circulation, and the cohesive relationship of recreational elements and facilities throughout the park as a whole. The result is a park with three concutively aligned, yet functionally parate areas.
