Sandpoint, Idaho Community Planning and Design
Inventory and Analysis
Some problems found within the city
beach and Jetty were continuity in
structure, organization of space, and lack
of revenue generating features.
Main focus areas are the Jetty,
Emergency Access/Plaza, and Wedding
Point in southeast portion of park.
Beach Point
Beach Point
With magnificent
views and opportunity,
this point provided
space for formal
gathering and events.
The design combines
the context of a
railroad town and the
beauty of the
surrounding lake.
Concessions
Concessions
In modifying building
continuity, we
redesigned the
Concessions to better
accommodate use on
the site and conform to
our goals.
Parking and Recreation
Parking and Recreation
A barren and desolate
parking lot currently
occupies a large
portion of the park.
The redesign consists
of large tree canopies
to provide shade for
vehicles and bio-
retention swales to
help clean and
replenish the water
runoff. We have also
included a retention
pond at the end of the
parking lot for the
occasional storm.
Plaza
Plaza
Currently acting as
emergency and
delivery access for the
concessions, the
Plaza area has
transformed into
something fun and
eventful. The Plaza
also acts as a greeting
and introductory point
to the City Beach.
Jetty
Jetty
As a very visible point
from the City Beach
and many other areas,
the Jetty is not
currently living up to
its potential.
