Document Description
The Community Center Courtyard project is approximately 1 acre and located between City Hall and the Carson Event Center. The Courtyard project’s primary objective is to convert the current open landscaped area between the Carson Event Center and City Hall to provide an additional outdoor area for private and public events. The project involves grading a small portion of the landscaped mound for the proposed stage and audience area. The 1,000 sq.ft stage will be accompanied with an audience area for seating and other event features. To compliment the audience area, a new pergola will be installed adjacent to the audience section. As part of this project, the current courtyard outside of Room 107 will be remodeled and its footprint slightly expanded. The newly remodeled courtyard will have a waterfall feature with lighting accents and landscape features. A similar pergola will also be installed abutting Room 107. The entire site will have new lighting, decorative pavement, and a new landscape layout. Included in this project is the reconfigured parking area at the east parking lot of the Carson Event Center.
