stewardship
DESIGN STRATEGIES:• Reposition the landfill as a regional park
asset: a powerful teaching tool, marker of relationships with the earth and impetus for change
• Interpret: Reveal the hidden ecologies + histories of the site + surroundings: Natural + Human
• Create a landscape fusion contrasting free-form naturalistic plantings with strong linear allees and hedgerows
• Delineate outdoor rooms, organize spaces and frame views with bold, graphic masses of plant material visible across the large site
• Link and stitch together disparate areas of the park to make circulation connections
• Separate pedestrians, equestrians, cyclists + vehicles to minimize conflicts in tight areas
PARK FEATURES:Access + Circulation: • Separate park traffic from MRF traffic• Roundabout to merge and turn safely• One-way park road to control access and minimize conflict• Gondola for car-free experience
Ecology + Environmental Stewardship:• Interpretive overlooks + elements• New trails: outer and inner loops• Schabarum-Skyline Trail improvements• Native plantings: grasslands and
understory• Native plant nursery• Bird observation viewing blinds• Wildlife-proof trash cans• Renewable energy, solar power• Land bridge• Materials Recovery Facility (recycling)
tours• Gondola provides scenic views + site
