The Playgrounds Issue of Landscape Architect & Specifier News saw many firms submit their projects for feature consideration. This project was not chosen for a Feature in the issue, but we at LandscapeArchitect.com thought the project deserved to be showcased online . . .

Blanchard Park, one of the oldest parks in Columbia County, Georgia, finally received the long-awaited renovation it deserved. As part of a multimillion-dollar park update, the first phase was dedicated to the construction of a destination playground and trail system. Columbia County contracted ID Sculpture, a GFRC manufacturer and design firm based in Colorado, to design and build a one-of-a-kind nature-based playground to reflect the natural beauty and diversity of the area.

UC San Diego tasked Landscape Architect Angelina Sotelo with transforming this plaza into a welcoming gathering space. This aerial shot captures the juxtaposition of the shade structure and paving bands with dynamic planters that vary in height and create distinct social spaces. The concrete band pattern radiates from inside the food court to mimic the look of the terrazzo and to emphasize the plaza as an extension of the indoors, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. The prominent yellow concrete band is a continuation of the campus's well known 'yellow tunnel' that connects different portions of the campus between the buildings.

Destination Crenshaw is a reparative development project and will be the largest Black public art project in the U.S. and quite possibly the world. Ultimately, the project will commission more than 100 works by Black artists who have strong ties to Los Angeles, creating a pipeline of work and jobs for emerging, seasoned and internationally renowned artists. But the project is so much more than art. Its mission is nothing less than to place a cultural stamp of Blackness on Crenshaw Boulevard - a stamp akin to those in Chinatown, Mariachi Plaza, Koreatown and other ethnic enclaves.

The Streetscapes Issue of Landscape Architect and Specifier News saw many firms submit their projects for feature consideration. This project by was not chosen for a Feature in the issue, but we at LandscapeArchitect.com thought the project deserved to be showcased online.

South of Boston, in the town of Stoughton, Massachusetts, new construction on the existing campus of Stoughton High School was completed in 2021. As part of the design team, Warner Larson, Inc. Landscape Architects was tasked with everything from feasibility analysis to construction administration and close-out of the driveways, parking, entrance plazas, the outdoor café and courtyard learning area, and all athletic facilities, including the stadium. To help enhance the outside of this structure behind the bleachers, the choice was made to turn the narrow space between the school stadium and the street into a linear park that would benefit students and locals. It was christened Knights Park after the school's mascot. David Warner served as principal/project manager, and Sameer Bhoite was design director.

As the outdoor dining trend continued beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, the oceanfront Town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea (LBTS), Florida looked to expand permanent outdoor dining spaces and designated pedestrian areas along the main boulevard. Architectural Alliance Landscape (AAL), a landscape architecture firm in Fort Lauderdale, was brought on to lead the project that resulted in a complete renovation of all four arms of the intersection as well as the sidewalk along the adjacent Highway A-1-A. The project, completed in November 2023, involved 5,400 additional square feet of sidewalk cafe area dining, larger pedestrian sidewalks, new pavers, additional lighting, landscaping with new and existing material, new directional and informational signage, and a complete separation of outdoor dining spaces and pedestrian flow.
