Award Year / 2021
Entry Category / Unbuilt Works
Location / St. Paul, Minnesota
One of few public parks in downtown Saint Paul, Pedro Park is a premier, multi-functional community amenity that is sociable, accessible, comfortable, and activates the streetscape. The design manifests the ethos of the parcel as an existing community art and performance place with new public and intimate spaces. The design uses water, interaction, shelter, and transparency to expand the experiential qualities of a small urban space. The landscape architect, in partnership with St. Paul Parks, led the design of the park and shelters through a community design process and the development of construction documents.
