Paradise Creek Educational Park

  Landscape Architecture

This park has it all.  Born of community, great design, habitat expansion, biofiltered local street and infrastructure upgrades in an underserved neighborhood, connectivity to regional bikeways, shade structures, native plantings, a public plaza, picnic grove, playground, public art, a community garden, right-sized parking, and kiosko upgrades. All pervious surfaces, including a thousand foot long protective gabion wall adjacent to a tidal creek!
