Montbello Open Space

landscape. The design calls for regrading the site into a gently rolling prairie
topography with a central arroyo, or
broad drainage swale, to contain stormwater and reduce flow into the city's
stormwater management facilities. Surface drainage from parking areas and
planned building roofs will be routed

through a series of
tiered rain gardens into
a central rain garden
and large 7,500-footlong bioswale, the focal point of the park.
To allow for additional
infiltration, water will
collect on the park site
prior to releasing the
flows into a detention
pond on the health
clinic site, thereby capturing and filtering all water that flows into the public
storm sewer.
Three of the green infrastructure projects are slated for completion by the end
of this year, with the fourth planned for
completion in July 2018. NRPA will continue to use them as demonstrations for

professional training and development
purposes to show how park and recreation agencies, in partnership with private nonprofits and municipal water utilities, can achieve greater environmental
benefits than traditional gray infrastructure by implementing green stormwater
infrastructure installations in parks.

Coming to the 2017
NRPA Conference?
Learn more about these projects and hear
from the project sponsors themselves at
the " Great Urban Parks Campaign: 4 Green
Infrastructure Stormwater Management
Projects in Parks, " Session 110, Tuesday,
September 26, 1 p.m. - 2:15 p.m.
Serda Ozbenian, MS, is NRPA's Conservation
Program Manager (sozbenian@nrpa.org).
