Floodable Parks

Floodable parks and recreation spaces present the greatest opportunity for large retention spaces within urban areas. They can be located throughout the watershed and receive stormwater conveyance systems or adjacent water bodies. They can provide a combination of hydrological services including water quality improvements via retention, detention, and infiltration.
