Formerly known as Lincoln Reservoir, this site was originally designed by the Olmsted Brothers in 1904. The master plan included the construction of a new underground, lidded reservoir in order to comply with water-quality and security standards while increasing the usable park area. This adaptive redesign of the Olmsted plan opened up 4 acres of urban open space in one of the region's most densely developed neighborhoods. Input from neighborhood groups and the community resulted in a design that allowed the new park to be both a gathering place and an urban open space for the whole city. go to the next page
