Sherwood collaborated with the design team to design a public day use event space, picnic area, and parking lot for Castle Rock State Park trail.
The project involved:
- Creation of a 90-car porous asphalt parking lot equipped to manage site stormwater in an environmentally friendly way without the need for large disconnected treatment basins.
- A new amphitheater set on the hillside of a former Christmas Tree Farm including meandering stabilized pathways up to it.
- A picnic area integrated into an interpretive natural art display.
- A CalTrans encroachment onto State Route 35 for entrance to the State Park day use area.
In addition, Sherwood helped to develop a new water well, on-site water treatment system, drinking fountains, bathroom building, and septic system.
