This project will reduce flooding, erosion, and pollution in Reed Park. The project area is located within the Taylor Slough Watershed that drains into the Colorado River to the west of the park.
This project will improve water quality, reduce erosion, and restore the natural habitat of waterways in the park. The project will also include other improvements like an ADA accessible pathway that circles the pond and provides access to the footbridge on the northwest corner of the park

Project Benefits
This project will improve water quality with the installation of a biofiltration pond that will double as a play field during dry weather conditions. It will also reduce erosion and restore the natural habitat of the channel through channel improvements and the use of native vegetation. Other improvements include replacement of the wastewater line that runs through the park and an ADA-accessible pathway that circles the pond and provides access to the footbridge on the northwest corner of the park.
- Naturally treat stormwater runoff from 127 acres of upstream land
