Environs Inc was the Landscape Architect for the design and restoration of the Picnic Grove and Playground area in this historic Olmsted Park. This project included historic interpretation and analysis of the Olmsted plans as well as design, construction documentation, and construction administration for a new therapeutic playground and splash play area with associated walkways and seating. The splash play area was designed in the form of a riverboat with spraying “smokestacks” and “waterwheels” and includes a concrete “wave wall” at the perimeter of the play area. The project was completed in the summer of 2011.
