Growing Community Shade Structure, and Seeds of Community Bike Racks
The Clark Park Community Garden is built on the grounds of a decommissioned swimming pool in a city park. Funded by 2 combined neighborhood grants, I designed and produced a shade structure and bike racks that emphasize growth and renewal. Key visual elements were fashioned from recycled street signs. After their installation, the project has become a gathering point for the Clark Park Farmer’s Market.
