Windhaven Meadows Park will span across 20,000 square feet and will offer a large pavilion, trails and a playground. There will also be restrooms and parking on-site.

The playground at Windhaven Meadows Park will span across two acres. It is designed to be accessible and inclusive to children of all abilities. The equipment is designed with natural play elements, mostly comprised of soft, rubberized surfaces. Wheelchair ramps will allow children and caregivers ease of access to the playground. The all-abilities playground cost $2 million to build, with help from a $1 million grant from Liberty Mutual Insurance Company.

In addition to the all-abilities playground, Windhaven Meadows Park will also boast new ponds, plenty of trees, an earthen mound with a canopy walk and a dog park. There are also plans to include a trail connection to Parker Road.

The dog park will be comprised of fencing, decomposed granite pathways, shade structures, seating areas, drinking stations, and pet waste and litter receptacles. It will span across approximately five acres and is designed to easily interconnect with the existing terrain.

The parking lots will be lit with low-impact, environmentally-friendly lighting, and 50 trees are expected to be planted. Existing ponds will be cleaned and restored.
