Buelow Park
The planning and design of this award winning 2 acre park was inspired by it’s unique location and shape. This long narrow strip of public land had limited recreational opportunities. In response, ADL suggested narrowing the street to induce traffic calming and gain useful park acreage. The urban infill location and adjacency to commuter rail line became the catalyst for it’s conceptual development, creating sequential spaces linked together, symbolic of the various cars of a train. The site provides a variety of passive, active and urban spaces as one moves from east to west.
