The project also included community meetings and construction support. Jackson and Kenner Memorial Park, Indio, California Todd provided quality assurance / quality control for the development of a community park on two -acres of land in the City of Indio. DEA prepared conceptual and final construction plans, and collaborated with the City and the community to enhance the concepts through community input. Robinson Park, Pasadena, California Todd served as landscape architect for the complete redesign of Robinson Park, a community park located in Pasadena. The project was driven by extensive community engagement and a lengthy workshop process that resulted in a final design with strong community support. The project included the replacement of the existing obsolete community center with a new multi -purpose recreational facility. The park was expanded by acquisition of an adjacent property to allow construction of a new synthetic turf football and baseball fields, restrooms and parking. A new playground, picnic area and landscape areas were also included in the final design. Reese's Retreat Playground, Brookside Park, Pasadena, California As project leader, Todd worked with Shane's Inspiration (a non-profit group with a mission to create inclusive playgrounds and programs that unite children of all abilities) to obtain a one -million dollar grant from the State of California to design and construct a large inclusive playground in Brookside Park in Pasadena. Todd worked closely with community members, including the City's Accessibility and Disability Commission, to create a playground design that fit the needs of the residents and was well suited to the chosen site in one of Pasadena's most prominent parks. Washington Park Community House, Pasadena, California DEA was a critical part of a multidisciplinary design team that created plans for a new multipurpose building in a historic park in the City of Pasadena. Todd has been engaged in the park design for almost 20 years and was responsible for the development of the park's master plan, in addition to managing a major renovation of the park. This project required extensive community engagement and Todd's background with the community played a significant role in the success of the project. The exterior spaces around the building were designed to be used for programing that would integrate both interior and exterior activities. The DEA team developed 3D graphics to guide the design process and enable the project stakeholders to visualize the project's features. This project required extensive collaboration with the project's architect and civil engineer as the site was constrained and presented several challenges that had to be overcome to achieve a successful design.
