BASE worked with the City of Milpitas and Milpitas Unified School District to create a new elementary school and public park on McCandless Drive. 

This new public park and school are located in a high-density, transit-oriented redevelopment area. The City’s new park includes a walking trail that loops around the park, picnic areas, play structures, community gardens, and restroom facilities. The school-shared soccer field and basketball courts provide recreational areas for students. The park amenities offer open space for active and passive recreation and community-gathering for new residents.

The two age (2-5 and 2-12) appropriate play areas include sensory play activities, which promote exploration and discovery for children with sensory processing disorders. Landscape plantings are irrigated with recycled water, and include drought-tolerant ornamental plants and shade trees.
