Country Lane Park, Aurora, Colorado
Country Lane Park is a four acre neighborhood park located in
Aurora, Colorado. Themed after the agrarian history
of the site, this small park is centered on a riparian promenade which separates
the great lawn from the playground, play court, and shelter plazas.
Plantings
derived from orchard rows, barn-inspired shelters, rural fences, a two-track
crusher fines walk, and crop banding themed plazas and playgrounds add to the
agrarian feel of the park.
Water harvesting channels capture and use adjacent
street runoff to irrigate native plantings, while a custom water quality well
filters irrigation runoff prior to releasing it back into the city storm system.
