In recent years, the Capitol Park district has seen an infusion of development and quickly transformed from a relatively vacant and foreboding spot in the city to a vibrant walkable district surrounded by new residential, retail, and office space. Realizing the potential in the district, DDP contracted with Public Work to develop a new vision for the park. Public Work contracted with PEA Group to provide survey, geotechnical, and civil engineering services.
The park improvements include a dense tree canopy of varying heights with programmatic elements distributed below. Resin bound aggregate paving, custom corten and concrete planter walls, dog park, and a full and diverse plant palette transform the park from a concrete and paver sun baked space to a unique gathering spot and focal point for Capitol Park. Infrastructure was put in place for a future kiosk to further enhance the programming opportunities for the park.
