Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) invites the community to participate in the third Bear Creek Park public input meeting. The workshop will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 25 at the Jill Perelman Pavilion, 3000 W. 116th St., Carmel.
Why should the community attend?
Want a say in developing your community park? Now is your chance. Input gathered at public input meetings will help shape the vision and final park design.
CCPR and its consultants, SmithGroup, gathered community feedback at the first two public input meetings regarding amenities and programming. At the Jan. 25 meeting, SmithGroup will present initial park concepts showcasing several possibilities within Bear Creek Park. These concepts reflect public input as well as facility and programming needs identified in CCPR’s 2020-2024 master plan.
The community will have the opportunity to ask questions and share feedback on the park concepts. This workshop will help CCPR develop the Bear Creek Park Master Plan, which will guide the ultimate design of the park’s development over the next several years.
Background
Bear Creek Park was purchased in 2020 and comprises more than 26 acres of undeveloped land located in northwest Carmel at 146th Street and Shelborne Road. The park is open on weekends from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
