Agree with the website as a repository for findings but should it remain something that could be chanced upon or do we advertise it through various fora, local media, etc.? Like the idea that the website becomes a sorting office in itself, filling up with all manner of information and then we direct it to where that knowledge is required.
From reading LfV the main thing to glean is the thorough integration of the Americans into the life and landscape of Sutton Coldfield (not always welcome but the book on the whole does make it sound quite rosy at times). This firmly supports the need for the work to spread out from the site. What about a treasure trail of things that could be visited / collected with the idea of letterboxing in mind, see: http://www.dartmoorletterboxing.org. Participants could collect the 'stamps' to get a reward. The stamp designs being artworks in themselves.
Keen (as always!) to bring in the natural history side of things and feel that there are a few options at the wooded end of the site. Maybe as simple as putting allotments back there for rental by people who live on the development. But this area could also act as a bridge to the theme of the Park.
