Wong Park Design Remediation: Conceptual Master Plan and Plant List

Wong Park is a 9 acre urban park located close to the heart of downtown Blacksburg, Virginia. The park has several features that make it a key component in the community, including the historic Bennett House and acres of open space. In the summer of 2005, two detention basins were installed in the park to help mitigate the flooding problems in adjacent neighborhoods. These detention basins were built much larger than initially anticipated in order to accommodate the runoff for a 100-year flood.

The CDAC team worked with town staff members to develop design alternatives for the detention ponds and the areas directly adjacent to the ponds.
