<br />Memory Lane Park, Santa Ana,
<br />Kim served as principal -in -
<br />charge for the award -winning
<br />Memory Lane Park and Trailhead
<br />in the City of Santa Ana. The
<br />park was designed to provide
<br />recreational opportunities to the
<br />area residents, general public,
<br />and bike & equestrian riders along
<br />the Santa Ana River Trail. The
<br />pocket park includes a children 's
<br />play area, fitness equipment,

<br />equestrian hitching posts, picnic
<br />area, site furnishings, a dry creek
<br />bed with pedestrian bridge,

<br />The Tracks at Brea, California
<br />As project manager, Kim prepared
<br />conceptual and final construction
<br />documents for 4 miles of Class
<br />I meandering trail through an
<br />abandoned rail corridor in Brea.
<br />Segments 2-4 include work
<br />between Brea Boulevard and
<br />Birch Street and incorporates
<br />both hard and soft surface trail,
<br />native plantings, site furnishings,
<br />a lighted parking area, restroom
<br />building, plaza space, community
<br />gardens, bioswale, fitness area
<br />and interpretive signage. The site
<br />underwent soil remediation efforts
<br />prior to the construction of the
<br />trail.
<br />Gibson Mariposa Park, El
<br />Monte, California
<br />As principal -in -charge, Kim
<br />worked with Amigos de Los Rios,
<br />an environmental and community
<br />activist group providing design
<br />assistance, project coordination,
<br />and preparation of construction
<br />documents. The park was themed
<br />after butterflies; creating exciting
<br />opportunities to integrate unique
<br />design elements into the park.
<br />The monument sign resembled
<br />a large caterpillar, the shade
<br />canopies were shaped like large
<br />butterflies, and a community stage
<br />was modeled after a caterpillar -
<br />eaten leaf. Plantings were
<br />designed for the butterfly habitat,
<br />using only California native plant
<br />material. DEA also assisted in
<br />developing "green" strategies,
<br />such as the use of permeable
<br />pavers in parking areas, on -site
<br />leach fields under the turf to drain
<br />run-off, and recycled materials for
<br />picnic tables, benches and trash
<br />receptacles.
<br />Bryce E. Hanes Park, San
<br />Bernardino, California
<br />Kim served as principal -in -charge

<br />Park in San Bernardino. The park
<br />is located on a busy corner in
<br />an underserved neighborhood
<br />and will include many of the
<br />elements identified throughout the
<br />community input process, such

<br />park, soccer field and open space
<br />play, picnic areas, a basketball

<br />restroom, art in public places,
<br />and parking. Sustainable features
<br />include permeable paving, drought
<br />tolerant planting, solar lighting,
<br />'Smart' irrigation techniques,
<br />recycled/recyclable materials and
<br />groundwater recharge.
<br />Ocotillo Park, Cathedral City,
<br />California
<br />Kim served as principal -in -

<br />for the preparation of a master
<br />plan, design development, and
<br />preparation of final construction
<br />documents for Ocotillo Park, a
<br />5-acre park in Cathedral City.
<br />Working closely with the city
<br />appointed grant writer, DEA
<br />developed a plan for active
<br />recreation facilities while
<br />considering the incorporation
<br />of sustainable features such as
<br />recycled materials, the use of
<br />decorative rock and decomposed
<br />granite, 'Smart Irrigation'
<br />techniques, and drought tolerant
<br />plant material. The park features
