Choate Park: The complex is already Medway's most prominent park, and should become a signature focal point of Town pride with a design that will:
- Emphasize the site's pleasant character and natural beauty of the pond and Thayer Homestead.
- Renovate and organize the active uses of the site and improve accessibility so that clear, strong connections are created and space is used efficiently.
- Create accessible routes around the pond and between Choate and Cassidy that complement the setting.
- Redesign the “beach area” to create a safe experience at the water's edge for visitors (no swimming).
- Enhance the nature trails and pond perimeter with educational signage, viewing areas, and other stations.
- Redesign parking and vehicular entries so that they are compact, efficient, and screened from neighbors, Main Street, and the Thayer Homestead.
- Protect and maintain the ballfields, including upgrades to parking, lighting, and accessibility.
- Proposed elements: Playground; splashpad; picnic area; shade elements; walking paths; pond overlooks; lighting; improved parking; protected ballfields; organized facilities; sports courts.
