Sunset Development Company has begun construction on Heritage Park, a new public green space that will be located in Bishop Ranch.
“This 1.4-acre park is the first of 50 planned acres of parks and open space that will continue the transformation of the East Bay community into a walkable, connected neighborhood,” officials wrote in the press release.
Heritage Park will be located within Bishop Ranch’s CityWalk BR1A, adjacent to the recently opened Belmont Village senior living community. It will feature a tree-lined walkway, sprawling lawn, picnic grove, and garden, among other amenities.
The park is named in honor of San Ramon leaders and will feature a dedicated tribute to their contributions.
“The decision to dedicate Heritage Park is a tribute to the vision, creativity and dedication of San Ramon’s past and present leaders—elected officials, appointed representatives and city staff—who have helped lay the foundation for what our downtown is becoming: a vibrant, walkable destination connected by trails, parks and community spaces. Their leadership has been instrumental in realizing a long-term vision for the city, and their contributions continue to shape a downtown that is still growing and evolving,” said Alex Mehran Jr., president and CEO of Sunset Development.
Heritage Park will also introduce Bishop Ranch’s first folly, which is a permanent, site-specific structure that is built primarily for decorative purposes. The featured folly, “The Little Big House” by artist duo Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt of R&R Studios, is an oversized playhouse that invites interaction while providing seating and shade.
This folly is the first artwork to be funded by Sunset Development’s $20 million public art program, which will be implemented over the next decade. The real estate development company plans to integrate additional follies – varying in scale, material, and form –throughout Bishop Ranch’s parks and public spaces. The goal, according to the press release, is to “cultivate a distinctive visual identity that celebrates the past while fostering a spirit of creativity and innovation.”
“Heritage Park is the next step in our vision to create a vibrant, people-first neighborhood,” said Mehran. “It’s designed to be a true community hub—a place where families can picnic, kids can explore and neighbors of all ages can come together and enjoy connection and relaxation. Heritage Park marks the debut of our public art program as we work to create an enduring and evolving world-class destination for the arts, one that reveals, reinforces and elevates Bishop Ranch’s identity and sense of place.”
Heritage Park is expected to open by the end of the year. Though official dates and finalized plans have not yet been announced, Sunset Development intends to celebrate the park’s opening, officials confirmed. For more information about Bishop Ranch, visit BishopRanch.com.
