Barrett Park Master Improvements Plan

BETA has played a pivotal role in the City of Stamford’s efforts to develop a master plan to revitalize Barrett Park, a six-acre park near downtown, and its surrounding area. Project improvements include design of a play area with berms, paths, plantings, splashpad, ADA path, and new fitness areas. Additional park improvements include enhancing the basketball court and baseball field with new fence mesh, bleachers, dugouts, and press-box. The new design provides lighting to parking areas and along entries.

Our firm also spearheaded civil engineering and planning services for Burdick Street, Upland/Belltown Road, and the Burdick Street parking lot adjacent to Barrett Park, focusing on enhancing roadway and traffic safety for all modes of transportation.

BETA’s comprehensive streetscape design, complete with graphics and cost estimates, garnered significant attention. Governor Ned Lamont and Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto selected our redesign for an $800,000 state-funded Community Connectivity Grant Program, which supports the realization of the proposed improvements.

The design process also included public meetings with the community, enabling our team to garner public input and consensus on design and preferred enhancements. BETA’s multifaceted approach ensures a transformed and thriving urban space for Stamford residents.
