When Calavera Hills Community Park was constructed, Fire Station 3 was originally proposed to be located on the lot at the southwest corner of Carlsbad Village Drive and Glasgow Drive. When Fire Station 3 was relocated in the Robertson Ranch community, the vacant lot became available for the construction of an entryway to Calavera Hills Community Park.
The new area of the park was designed based on community input gathered as part of the city's Parks & Recreation Master Plan. Public input was gathered via public meetings, an online survey and stakeholder interviews to determine what amenities were most important to the public for inclusion in the gateway.
Staff used the feedback to create the concept design for the project. The City Council approved funds for the design and construction of the park in June 2015.
