• 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
