In 2013, the accessibility and parking improvements for DeBenedetti Park were completed. This project consisted of two Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant parking stalls, accessible paths to the bottom of the north and south basins, and completing the sidewalk along Century Boulevard. In 2014, the Public Works Department added a paved parking lot with 29 standard parking stalls with a turnaround area.
