This week we are reflecting on some of the highlights from 2021 – one of which is the completion and opening of the North Bank Regional Playground in Riverfront Park.
We are soaking up every nice day at the Ice Age Floods Playground before the rain starts! Have you visited the playground this fall? While the splash pad may be off for the season, fun is still on with the playground, wheels park, and basketball courts.
Check out how the Hoopfest courts at the North Bank of Riverfront Park look under the lights. The best part of our job is coming back to the project site to see the users enjoying the result — and how we determine our success.
#30BestofBWA Today we are featuring one of our favorite landscape architecture achievements – the McEuen Park Redevelopment for the City of Coeur d’Alene. The team’s primary objective included creating a destination park and gathering space for the public while incorporating amenities and features to compliment the venue’s spectacular waterfront setting on Lake Coeur d’Alene. What’s that they say about location, location, location? This park has that and more – Centennial Trail access, an interactive playground and splash pad, public art spaces, a dog park, sports courts, an amphitheater, and more! In 2015, the McEuen Park Redevelopment won a Merit Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects Idaho & Montana Chapter.
The North Bank Regional Playground project is one of five major park elements identified in the Riverfront Park Master Plan that was funded in 2014 with a $64 million bond to redevelop the park.
During the opening weekend of the Ice Age Floods Playground, we hosted a coloring contest. We were SO impressed by the entrants, that we had to give away more than one skateboard! We definitely see potential architects, landscape architects, and interior designers in this bunch. Congratulations!
The Trust for Public Lands has produced a report ranking city parks systems – Spokane made it to the top 20.
#ThrowbackThursday to demo day at the North Bank in Riverfront Park, February 2020. We are so proud of the end result of this playground. Have you been to the North Bank yet?
The Ice Age Floods Playground in Riverfront Park is DONE and ready for action! We hope that you and your family can visit the playground this weekend during its opening. The new regional playground will open to the public at 12pm, Friday, May 21. Come join us and play!
To celebrate our 30th Anniversary serving Spokane, we will be featuring 30 of our favorite images from our work throughout the years. Follow #30BestofBWA for more! We are very partial to the images of the North Bank Ice Age Floods Playground – we love seeing children enjoy the space designed especially for them.
