The park is bounded by Gulfton Street on the north, Chimney Rock Road on the east, Alder Dr on the west, and extended park area on the south side. Burnett Bayland Park is a 40-acre park that features skate park, walking trails, community center, play areas, basketball courts etc. The proposed improvements include an inclusive playground, detention basin, event lawn, multi-purpose courts, soccer fields, gaming and seating area, splash pad, rain gardens, restrooms, pavilions, covered basketball courts, multi-purpose courts, skate park etc. The additional scope includes shade structures at soccer field, gateway canopy at soccer fields, comfort stations, shade structures and storage at community garden and gateway shade structures.
