Fontana Park - Fontana, California

Fontana Park

Fontana Park is the largest new park built in Fontana California in many years.  The park functions as a recreation and community center for a rapidly expanding suburban community in Southern California.  As part of a multi-disciplinary team, I was primarily responsibility for the planting design.

The aquatic center flanked with climatically appropriate Mediterranean plants for an attractive, low-water using plants for a thematic backdrop.

Custom-designed play equipment creates a unique play environment for the community’s children.
