Westfield Park, Fort Collins, Colorado

 

BHA was commissioned by the City of Fort Collins to develop a plan for a proposed 14 acre park located adjacent to Johnson Elementary School. BHA’s services included a public charette process in which adjacent residents were actively incorporated into the design process.

The concept that evolved resulted in a swirling, spherical form that encouraged the imagination of adults and children alike. A fanciful pavilion design was created that anchors the visual swirl created by sculpted earthwork. In addition, a number of specially designed curving walls, orbs, and special paving patterns were developed to unite the entire project.
