Project Location

Scope of Work

• Grand Steps Entry Plaza: a formal entry from the Brand Boulevard paseo providing a transition between Parking Lot 10 and the park through a series of long steps and an accessible sloping walkway.

• Lawn Amphitheater and Event Stage: a smaller setting for special events is provided by the Lawn Amphitheater. A low stage with canopy provides a platform for special functions.

• Library Steps: a patio is provided at the library’s south entry, with steps that give access to the building and a place to sit and look out over the park.

• Tree Grove and Activity Plaza: the tree grove provides a backdrop to the event stage and shades an outdoor lounge area for ARC visitors and the community at-large. Beyond the trees, catenary lighting provides a festive atmosphere for the programmable activity plaza.

• Children’s Playground and Splash Pad: year-round imaginative play is encouraged with signature, custom play equipment and a splash pad. A new restroom building is located nearby for convenience.

• Forest Walk: existing trees between the library and Louise Street are preserved to contribute to a forest-like setting within the park. Boardwalk paths beneath the canopy help reduce impacts to the trees and contribute to the sense of place.

• Library Lawn and Wood Deck: small lawn adjacent to the playground and forest walk for a children’s free play area. A deck with seating beneath a large, existing tree will be a restful place to read outdoors or observe the children playing nearby.

• ARC Entry Plaza: a newly reconfigured drop-off and accessible parking area provides convenient access to the ARC’s front door. Specialty paving indicates arrival and signals the presence of pedestrians and park activity in the vicinity; and

• South Entry Plaza at Colorado: a sloping path from Colorado Street between the Museum and ARC. Sculptural walls retain planting areas and frame a small pocket plaza. The existing large oak tree will be a stately gateway to the park.

• Great Lawn: flexible green open space in the Great Lawn anchors the largest open area of the park.
