Transforming An Industrial Site Into <br />Green Space <br />Little was the prime consultant for the master planning <br />and design of Long Bridge Park, an urban, LEED <br />Silver, 33-acre park located in Arlington County. We <br />transformed the former industrial site that was squeezed <br />between an interstate and a major rail corridor under <br />two flight paths into an amazing community resource <br />for both recreation and environmentally sensitive <br />development. In doing so, Arlington has created a new <br />gateway that shows that public use and nature can be <br />returned to even the most unlikely urban locations. <br />Long Bridge Park features: <br />The Esplanade: a half -mile -long raised shared path <br />with Cherry trees, seating, and access for everyone <br />to enjoy strolling, bike riding, watching sports, <br />planes, trains, or birds. <br />The Overlook: over 35 feet high hill providing <br />360-clegree views of the park, Roaches Run, and <br />the surrounding Washington DC landmarks. <br />The Rain Garden: a three-quarter acre garden that <br />slows and cleans stormwater runoff playing its part <br />in protecting Roaches Run, the Potomac River, and <br />the Chesapeake Bay, <br />The Trellis: shaded walk with spectator seating and <br />features the'Wave Arbor'artwork by Doug Hollis, <br />Security and Storage Facilities: facilities designed <br />in a consistent style and look of the park for <br />maintenance and support uses. <br />Community Facilities: community use restrooms <br />and changing facilities. <br />6th Street Playground: includes an interactive fog <br />area that is unique among playgrounds in Arlington. <br />RELEVANCE County Project <br />TO Park Project <br />CITY OF <br />SANTA ANA LEED Silver Certified <br />Gardens & Green Spaces <br />Community Facilities <br />Location: Arlington, VA <br />Completion: 2015 <br />Contact: Arlington County <br />Mr. Erik Beach <br />T 703.228.3318 <br />E. ebeach@arlingtonva.us <br />CITY OF SANTAANA CHEPA SPARK MASTER PLAN AND COMMUNITY CENTER 1 13 <br />
