Stakeholder
Group:
On September 28, 2020 our team met with local stakeholder to review schematic design alternatives and
decide what features to include in final design. Our group of stakeholders included the following:
• Liz Fried, District 6 Council Member (City)
• Bill Zimmermann, Interim Commissioner Parks and Recreation Department (Parks, City)
• Vincent Parise, Deputy Commissioner Parks and Recreation Department (Parks, City)
• Brian O’Rourke, Parks Supervisor (Parks, City)
• Alvaro Alfonzo-Larrain, Assistant City Engineer (DPW, City)
• Susan Moorhead, New Rochelle Public Library (Huguenot Park’s Children’s Library)

the path systems that were created around the Outflow

Site analysis for the project identifies the
following opportunities and constraints.
Opportunities:
• Wildlife enhancement: in consideration of New Rochelle Southern Lake
the shoreline and ducks on site High School Rest Spot
• Physical Lake Access: physical pathways
to water, paddlecraft launch
• Lake Views: overlook, vegetation,
dominant school view looking west Causeway Views
• History & Signage: memorial, sculpture
• Programming: former farmers market,
fish derby, physical activity related to the
school, picnicking and rest areas
Constraints
• Utilities: could undergo relocation
• Habitat: extreme geese presence
• Shoreline: erosion, edge definition Entrance on North Ave Bridge Causeway Paths & Geese NRHS Connection (West) NRHS Connection (East)EXISTING CONDITIONS ANALYSIS Huguenot Park Figure 2b. Project Site Analysis

2. Native Plantings
All new plantings will be native species. Some existing
plantings are proposed to remain to maintain shoreline
stabilization, but are recommended to be pruned and limbed
up to open views while improving the plant material. Invasive 2 3 4 Existing Sign 8a
species are recommended to be removed. 6a 6b
3. Northern Shoreline
The existing northern shoreline extents will remain and is NRHS 1 14 10
recommended to be enhanced as a naturalized edge.
Additional boulders and plant material are proposed for
stabilization. Wildflowers, trees, and boulders will continue in 13
transition to the pathway on top working with the existing slope. 5 8b 12
4. ADA Accessible Overlooks 2
Two recycled plastic ADA accessible overlooks lined with ADA
fishing accessible railings will overlook the Northern Lake. 9

5. Southern Shoreline
The existing southern shoreline extents will also remain, with
a hardened edge defining the two-tiers that currently exist. CampLake
Southern Pendleton Hospital
The upper tier offers a variety of seating opportunities with
Oceanside, California
benches and lawn areas. A retaining wall defines the two tiers
and created a continuous seatwall for the lower tier, which
offers a walkway along the Lake, composed of reclaimed
asphalt. The transition between tiers includes two sets of steps Military
and one ADA compliant ramp. Owner:

Key Features Continued:
8. Tree Grove Plazas
Two stone dust plazas, rotated 180 degrees along the
extension of the existing diagonal path, will enhance park
usage. One is at the entrance, for visitors to pass through and
view the existing monument and view the NRCA commissioner
Doctorow Statue (8a), and one plaza will be across the stream
for visitors to gather and sit (8b). Both spaces allow for future
planned events and gatherings allowing more maintainable
area of high use.
9. Rain Gardens
Four rain garden demonstration areas are proposed along
North Avenue
the Causeway. These areas will showcase best practices for
filtering stormwater before it enters the Lakes, stream, and
closed systems.
10. North Avenue Access 6a
An enlarged crosswalk, paver entrance, gateway arch 6b
features, and formalized sidewalk edge will enhance park
access to the Causeway site, and increase the visibility of, and
add definition to, the park. The gateway arch will be designed 11 7
9
using the one at Jack’s Friendship Garden as precedent.
11. Interpretive Signage
Two additional interpretive signs are proposed at the Park;
one where the stream walk meets the stream, and one at the
rain garden on the Causeway.
12. Utility Relocation 8b
The utility pole and guy wire is proposed to be relocated to 2
reduce interference with the main path. A new traffic light post
8a
and arm is proposed to be located on the east side of North
Avenue to allow for flexibility of the utility pole location. The
existing electrical panel box for the Lake fountains is proposed
to be relocated to allow for the new Causeway design.
13. NRHS Sign Relocation 9
The New Rochelle High School (NRHS) sign is proposed to
be relocated from its existing park location to the west of the
Causeway on school property. 10

A total of 7 benches and 15 light posts are proposed on the
site that are appropriately spaced for rest and illumination.
