Master planning for Mackle Park, a central thirty acre public space on Marco Island.  Goetz+Stropes led a public participation process to develop a long range planning tool over 18 months beginning in June 2003 .  Work included documentation of existing

conditions, development of two alternative designs, presentations to the Planning Board and Marco Island City Council in PowerPoint, meetings with neighborhood and community groups, and the production of a final master plan with budget and phasing recommendations. 

 

Master plan elements include over one mile of multi-use paths, shaded treescape, improved  parking and circulation, filtration marsh and littoral lake plantings, community built play area and water spray play, multi use field, basketball, volleyball, various waterfront amenities, site lighting and furniture, and 20,000 square feet of building programmed for recreational activities.
