Canby Art Park and Greenspace vision and guidelines:

(continued)

 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 
  3. All plant material must be indigenous, and designed to be low maintenance and drought resistant whenever possible.
  4. Art within the park is encouraged to be interactive and educational based whenever possible. Through signage young visitors would be encouraged to explore and discover hidden art objects. Art features may include interactive parts/features that include the use of wind, sound, light and other natural elements. The park can not contain any play structures such as slides, climbing structures or swings.
  5. Three (3) pathways will connect the area to the existing neighborhood, and sidewalks located on Holly and Territorial. Pavers are to be sold to underwrite the project. A compass in the center of the 3 connected pathways will serve as navigation tool to use in signage, to find art pieces, and the location of purchased pavers, as well as an aerial landmark.
  6. In accordance to Canby Livability bylaws, all service & material providers will need to be local based whenever possible.
  7. Artists associated with the project can live outside the Canby Area.
  8. As outlined in the Earthworks conceptual drawing there will be 3 sections within the area, containing 4 pieces of art each, including a bench in each section (total of 3). The benches do not have to match but need to be of an artistic nature that is functional.
  9. At the request of the original neighborhood survey, the main anchor piece located behind the “Welcome to Canby” sign must provide an artistic structural barrier that provides protection to the interior of the park from the traffic of the 4 way stop. (Note: 3-5 stone pillars with engraved art have been proposed. Though drilling the pillars to create a water feature could be a possibility, at this time it is not proposed.
  10. At the request of the original neighborhood survey, any structures or foliage located along the edges of Holly St. or Territorial can not be over 4 feet high. This feature is to allow visitors to see into the area as well as discouraging negative activities.
