Welton Street Park New Brunswick, New Jersey PURPOSE OF CONTRACT Matrix New World Engineering (Matrix) was responsible for the design and development of Welton Street Park in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Once construction of the park is complete, it will act as a recreational destination for many residents of New Brunswick. The design incorporates transitional ADA accessible terraced spaces with seating and space for community gathering, two sensory-based play areas, and a rain garden. One of the two play areas provides musical instrument-inspired playground equipment that can enhance the social and emotional benefits of sensory stimulation. The design also includes the use of crosswalk bump-outs that extend into the street to provide traffic calming for a safer pedestrian experience. In conjunction with the rain garden, a portion of the park space is paved with pervious concrete to further reduce impact to the City’s stormwater system. Community outreach was a vital component in the design and development of this park. The community meetings include the distribution of questionnaires which helped Matrix gather information on the needs of the nearby residents and the desired components and features to incorporate in the design. Matrix’s collaboration with the community has had a great impact on the successful design of the new Welton Street Park.
