<br />DEA landscape
<br />architects worked
<br />with Amigos de Los
<br />Rios, a non-profit
<br />environmental and
<br />community advocacy
<br />group in providing
<br />design assistance,
<br />project coordination,
<br />and preparation_'
<br />of construction
<br />documents. The park
<br />r. d-
<br />was themed after t
<br />butterflies, creating
<br />exciting opportunities As
<br />to integrate unique
<br />design elements
<br />into the park.
<br />The monument
<br />sign resembled a
<br />large caterpillar,
<br />shade canopies
<br />were shaped like
<br />large butterflies,
<br />and a community
<br />stage was modeled after a caterpillar -eaten leaf.
<br />Plantings consisted of drought tolerant California
<br />native plants and were designed to become habitat
<br />for a wide variety of native California butterflies. To
<br />educate visitors to the park on the butterfly habitat,
<br />informational kiosks were positioned at key points
<br />along gravel pathways. In addition to creating native
<br />plant and butterfly habitat, DEA landscape architects
<br />also assisted in developing "green" strategies.
<br />Permeable pavers were used in parking areas
<br />to facilitate water percolation, on -site leach fields
<br />dispersed water from the children's water play area
<br />into surrounding turf areas, and recycled materials
<br />were used for park amenities such as picnic tables,
<br />benches and trash receptacles.
