WESTSIDE RIVERWAY PARK

The Westside Riverway Park unites social and ecological goals in the heart of a historic neighborhood. The linear pavilion acts as bridge between the street and the water, providing seating and a stage to revive a tradition of Block Parties, and a canoe launch for recreation and stewardship of the Housatonic River. The shaped landscape creates gathering points within a large lawn, bounded by a buffer zone of native plantings. This neighborhood park was designed and programmed through two years of community visioning.
