Clear Creek Basin at Historic Fourth Ward Park is designed to address quality of life, environmental sustainability and economic efficiency by providing a solution to the stormwater run-off problem through a unique community partnership. The park features a two-acre stormwater detention pond built by the Department of Watershed Management that has reduced flooding in nearby neighborhoods and a pond below the site's water table that generates 425 gallons a minute, even in a drought. The pond water is used to water the park's lawns and playing fields and additional water features include a ten-foot waterfall and a stone water cascade. The park was built at a cost of $23,000,000 and includes various other construction elements such as walkways, culverts, lighting and landscaping. The walkways surround the pond and a boardwalk crosses over one section. There is a small amphitheater at one end of the pond. The park also features a playground and splash pad.
