Rancho Mission Viejo Park Phase One


This is a board I put together for a proposed park in South Orange County. The board is intended to show initial concepts for the park both design and imagery. It would be located at the edge of a new mixed use community and border an ecologically important creek and watershed. The plan I created focuses on keeping the majority of the acreage undeveloped and/or allowed to function as a natural landscape (i.e., it would not be controlled by the mower or chainsaw). Embedded in the park are trails that allow users to see the processes changing the land and offer space to recreate....especially in that they will link to other community trails. There will be programmatic ammenities such as amphitheatre, playgrounds, picnic shelters, rest rooms, parking lot, and demonstration garden for drought tolerant plantings.
