Collaborating with Berger Partnership, we built on a vision to redevelop this underutilized park to take advantage of its spectacular location and transform it into a regional asset.
The intent was to revamp a few dilapidated baseball fields with additional features to encourage use by a wider audience. The big move is an overlook deck that stretches towards the Chelan dam, gorge, and surrounding mountains and offers elevated views back towards the baseball diamonds.
An overlook was designed to provide a view of the dam and the surrounding mountains that had been unavailable to the public. We combined functions whenever possible, with the deck also serving as a roof to the gathering space below, stacked basalt seating relating to the surrounding geology, and finally, a sloping lawn that adds minor league stadium-style seating looking over the baseball fields. The roofs of the dugouts and central concession station also perform double duty as extended shade platforms to provide weather protection to visitors.
