This project involved two separate parks located within New Hope Borough. The Ferry Street Pocket Park project created a visual link to Main Street using lighting, plant material and brick pavers. The plant material was used to soften the area and frame the views across the Delaware River to Lambertville, NJ. Seating areas were also installed to encourage social interaction.
The Randolf Street Pocket Park created an intimate space with access to the Delaware River. Views across the river are accentuated. Low level lighting, plantings and natural building materials such as boulders were used to create a natural environment. Limited space and steeply sloping terrain were design constraints in this project.
