As plans for this green space take shape, the council is eager to engage with residents and gather feedback on the proposed features.
The park, located south of 130th South along Sentinel, is set to include a variety of recreational amenities. Early designs reveal plans for play fields, a splash pad, playground equipment, and pickleball courts, catering to families and active residents alike. The layout also incorporates walking trails, providing a serene space for leisurely strolls along the canal that borders the park.

Subscribe for Free Edge Homes, the developer behind the Mountain Ridge project, is not only responsible for the overall development but will also design and construct the park. During the meeting, representatives from Edge Homes presented renderings of the park, showcasing its potential to become a vibrant community hub. The council emphasized that while the plans are still in the early stages, they are keen to hear from the public to ensure the park meets the community's needs.
The northern section of the park will feature more informal spaces, allowing for passive recreation, while a clear boundary will separate the public park from a private clubhouse and pool area designated for Mountain Ridge residents. This thoughtful design aims to create a welcoming environment for all, while maintaining the privacy of the residential community.
As the meeting concluded, council members expressed their commitment to refining the park's design based on community input. With the promise of a new recreational space on the horizon, Riverton residents are encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas, ensuring that this park becomes a cherished asset for years to come.
