Nestled in Waterloo, Ontario, this park project embodies human-nature connection. Our holistic design focuses on sustainability and ecological balance while prioritizing community needs. Emphasis was made on mature tree preservation, erosion control, enhancing fish habitat, and nurturing terrestrial ecology by removing sediment and reconfiguring the creek’s shoreline. The park boasts outdoor concessions, water features, an urban beach, and captivating sculptures. Lighting, naturalized areas, and accessibility features were thoughtfully incorporated to support each member of the community
