Centennial Park Being Planned for the Next 100 Years of Outdoor Fun. Plans have been drawn for the long term expansion and development of Huxley’s largest park, Centennial Park. In 2004, the City doubled the size of the park to approximately 30 acres. In 2005, with an impressive amount of public support and participation, Shive-Hattery developed a master plan (see below) that will guide the phased improvements to the park. The Master Plan for Centennial Park emphasizes connection throughout the park using trails and sidewalks which will lead to the surrounding new residential developments. The park will include four ball diamonds, numerous options for soccer and flag football fields, a hard surface pedestrian and bicycle trail around the edge of the park, several playgrounds, and a nature area as well as tennis and basketball courts. New parking and driveway improvements, utilities, lighting and restrooms will also be included. Attention will be paid to natural drainage patterns and native landscape plantings of grasses, perennials, shrubs and trees. Plans will also support the development of a new all-season park pavilion that will equip Huxley with a community meeting space for the growing needs of this vibrant town.
