» BALLARD CORNERS PARK, SEATTLE, WA
Barker Landscape Architects were hired to design a neighborhood park in the Ballard district of Seattle. The design concept, artistic details, and interpretive elements are strongly rooted in local history. Support from community volunteers and historical donor tiles helped make this park a success. The park features a playful concrete living room, native plantings, a demonstration rain garden, natural and structured play areas, and a gateway entrance with "soda fountain style" interpretive tabletops and spinning bar stools that hearken back to the neighborhood corner stores which peppered the Ballard district. The raingarden, in the right-of-way filters run-off from the street.
