One of the issues around stormwater management in Sam Smith Park is the possibility of daylighting Jackson Creek, a buried creek that flows into and under the large swale near the Gatehouse. Uncovering the creek and allowing it to create a pond or wetland in the swale could provide a more naturalized solution that would enhance wildlife habitat and be a tremendous asset for our nature park. The buried Jackson Creek eventually flows into Rotary Park where it enters the lake. If this outflow were to be daylighted as part of the new design for this park, it would be an interesting natural feature there too. Please attend this community charrette and share your views.
