This small park relates to the urban retail and residential areas adjacent.  Within the larger park are smaller human scale spaces, integral to the whole. This design responds to the drought that the Front Range of Colorado had been in for some years, with water as the main design driver.  Far more water is evoked than is actually present.  The water features are designed to be completely interactive, and reduce water loss.  Hopefully this place facilitates an appreciation for water as a precious commodity, without moralising or being overly instructive.

This outdoor place has been a success with people of all ages, from professionals taking a lunch or coffeee break, to families with children playing in the water, and running between the canyon walls.

In 2005 this project won the Presidents Award, top honours from the Colorado Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
