Downtown Parks, Morgan Hill

Verde Design was selected to provide the planning and design for three of the City of Morgan Hill’s newest park sites. Each park is unique in its environmental surroundings, topography, and proposed uses. The new parks provide the Morgan Hill community with three new recreational areas in which to enjoy, not only creative play experiences, but also two natural parks in the riparian and Oak woodlands.

Railroad Park: The new entrance features reinforce the Train Depot theme with fun and exciting play structures for all ages and abilities, artwork among a colorful and textural landscape, as well as many observation areas, lighting, security cameras, and a self-cleaning restroom building.

Third Street Creek Park: The park design included revegetation of the natural grassland areas, and the creek riparian corridor. It is a quiet park that provides picnicking, playing on climbing boulders, and strolling, and sitting along Llagas Creek. Along the paths you will find environmental information signs and inviting pictures. Access to the park is made possible by the redevelopment of two streets, the installation of parking, lighting, security cameras, new vehicular circulation, and a repurposed pedestrian bridge.

Nob Hill Trail Park: This park takes advantage of select views of Morgan Hill, and the valley beyond with vista areas and informational maps and pictures. It offers picnic areas, exercise stations, hiking trails, and two long and steep slides that offer excitement to the brave.
