Design and Accessibility
Our goal with this renovation project was to preserve the park’s natural beauty while enhancing accessibility and safety.
Floodplain Preservation: We carefully designed renovations to protect the floodplain associated with the adjacent Clear Creek.
Enhanced ADA Access: The park is now fully accessible, featuring organized circulation, clearly delineated pathways, and eliminating unsafe intersections. ADA parking and access points ensure that everyone can enjoy all areas of the park.
Community Impact
The Prospect Park renovation has provided an updated, user-friendly environment that encourages active lifestyles and community gathering. The park's layout and amenities make it a desirable destination for the nearly 45,000 residents and visitors who enjoy the park annually.
