located adjacent to pervious areas such as lawns, gardens or naturalized areas. This makes parks an ideal location for a LID retrofit. Where grading allows, you can construct [[bioswales]] and [[bioretention]] areas in these green areas to pre-treat water prior to infiltration.

You can also design parking surfaces and internal roadways as infiltration systems using permeable pavement. This retrofit strategy can be combined with other LID practices. Pathways paved with [[permeable paving]] are another LID option for your park. They reduce runoff volumes and encourage on-site infiltration. [[Exfiltration trenches]] are a viable option on many parks sites as well, as they provide an alternative to conventional conveyance systems (such as storm sewers). They encourage infiltration from hard surfaces and can be used to convey water to other LID features.
