Orion Park Design

The park is all about cycles: cycles of energy, nature and community. It’s part of the Millenia master planned LEED ND community, a “walkable hub with traditional neighborhood structure—where everything is connected (and) public space is abundant.” The park design complements parks in other Millenia neighborhoods. Its circular shapes convey movement and create different but related areas for various activities. The plant palette coincides with the cycle of seasons to ensure beauty and visual interest every month.

The Chula Vista Regional Trail weaves through the park, connecting it to the larger community. Site features include stormwater collection and filtration through bioswales, recycled glass in trail paving, shade over paving to reduce heat island effects, and bicycle facilities. Visitors will find a water feature, children’s play area, dog areas, shaded picnic tables, planted arbors and large open space plazas.
