Lake Ariana Lakefront Park and community center

Catalyst Design Group staff provided master planning, public involvement, cost estimating, and construction document services for the existing eight-acre Lake Ariana Park and adjacent streetscape for the City of Auburndale. The programming (developed during an on-site design charrette with City staff) includes a 20,000-SF civic center, an event lawn, wedding/small event garden, new boat ramp and associated docks, picnic pavilions, a waterfront concession and restroom building, playground, walking paths, fishing pier with a floating ADA canoe/kayak launch, shoreline restoration, and stormwater rain gardens. The streetscape portion of the project includes the addition of a roundabout, a multipurpose trail, and on-street parking to calm traffic and to extend the historic downtown’s character at this city gateway location.
