Location: Corona del Mar, CA
Client: City of Newport Beach
This 1,300 SF pocket park was built on a triangular lot, sloping up towards the rear of the property. The park features terraced retaining walls, seating, a walkway, and drought tolerant planting. It is visually dominated by a tall masonry block wall that was used by Hobie Surf Shop as a public art mural. This art wall use is planned to continue (along with accent lighting), so the park design will accommodate mural changes and maintenance. The art wall provides a visually exciting element to the CDM streetscape and is considered a borrowed asset to the park.
