Auburn University and Rural Studio have been working on the restoration and redesign of Lions Park since 2006. The remodel includes new landscaping, public restrooms, playing fields, a skate park and playground. To honor the local boy scouts that had cleared out undergrowth and upkept trails during construction, the Scouts Hut was designed to provide an identifiable headquarter. The hut incorporates a multipurpose space, kitchen, restroom, and storage space. The structure was constructed with a series of wooden frames and harvested small timbers that were used for exterior cladding and structural ballast.
