Unity Park
The jury felt this project demonstrates an impressive level of community presence and engagement throughout the whole process. The community participation turns into community ownership and pride. The design team managed to efficiently pack a multitude of program elements seamlessly into the park in a flowing composition. There is a good use of materials and small details, integrating natural stone in an effective way.
