Parkland, Florida

Description

Covered Bridge Park once sat on a 3-acre property overgrown by invasive exotic vegetation and not usable to the public. KEITH is worked with the City of Parkland to design a passive park including meandering natural trails with a connection to the iconic Covered Bridge, flexible open space, a nature playground for children, a meditation garden and yoga lawn. A lush native landscape is being installed to provide shade throughout the park and educate the public of the importance of native species. A small, gated parking lot provides access to the Covered Bridge Park, as well as the neighboring 6-acre park. KEITH is the prime consultant and has been involved with the project from conceptual design to public outreach, as well as permitting and construction observation services. The park is currently under construction.
