<br />The Tracks at Brea, California

<br />documents. The park was themed after butterflies;
<br />creating exciting opportunities to integrate unique
<br />design elements into the park. The monument sign
<br />resembled a large caterpillar, the shade canopies
<br />were shaped like large butterflies, and a community
<br />stage was modeled after a caterpillar -eaten leaf.
<br />Plantings were designed for the butterfly habitat,
<br />using only California native plant material.
