The concentration of many sports fields within a single park has created a disparate scale between the park and the body. To date, the park has operated without an ordering system and framework for accessibility. Imagine a family member in a wheelchair, trying to navigate the soft, uneven field to watch a child's soccer game. We use the path as an ordering device punctuated with public art. It connects key areas to one another, and introduces new pedestrian access points to the park. The uniqueness of the path is that it incorporates a rail system comprised of standard low floor tramline rails recessed into the paved surface. Typical to many cities worldwide, these rail systems account for pedestrian and wheelchair passage. The rails allow the ability to bring multiple amenities to the sidelines of the fields by use of small scale pods. We envision the pods moving seasonally, or for organized sports tournaments where the park population swells briefly. The pavilion acts a receptacle for the pods, and houses them during the winter months where they can be accessed for the winter activities currently situated adjacent to the pavilion.
