The document describes a wellness landscape master plan for Westminster City Park. The plan includes a variety of active recreation areas like soccer fields, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, and a skate park to promote physical and mental well-being. These activities increase aerobic capacity, build strength and flexibility, and provide social benefits. The plan also includes more passive areas like a checker/chess area, bocce courts, and exercise equipment to allow solo or social activities for all ages and abilities. A teen area with a basketball court, murals, and BMX facilities encourages creativity and building skills. The final master plan was selected through a class vote and incorporates elements of the top two design concepts.
