Clara Park
with EPT Landscape Architects
New life for a well-loved community hub.
Reimagine a well-loved (and -used) park to provide new shade structures, a revitalized restroom and concession stand, lighting and signage.
Working hand-in-hand with all stakeholders to design a facility that is representative of local and native communities.
As the prime, EPTDESIGN is responsible for the site layout, plantings and play areas. AyD takes the lead on the shade structures and restroom redesign.
Shade elements are designed as a set of standard, repeating structural bays with a variable cantilever to simplify fabrication. Cladding will include laser-cut panels designed in tandem with Natives for Nature to tell the story of the Gabrieleño-Tongva people.
