Project Details
Location: Veterans Way, Livermore CA, 94550
Firm: RRM Design Group
Position: Landscape Designer
Project Type: Urban Linear Park
Years Involved: 2023-2025
Project Overview
Veterans Park is a downtown linear park that reconnects two city blocks and provides a flexible civic space for the surrounding residential and cultural district. The design reorganizes circulation, planting, and gathering zones to create a clear pedestrian spine linking the theatre, science museum, and adjacent housing, while incorporating a small Veterans Memorial as a focused moment of reflection within the broader public realm. New play areas, lawns, seating, and plaza spaces support everyday community use and offer a welcoming interface between buildings and the street.
Key Contributions
As a landscape designer on the project, I contributed across concept development, site planning, and visualization, including:
- Developing early site layouts to organize the linear park spine, connection points, and relationships between the theatre, science museum, housing, and adjacent streets.
- Assisting with refinement of circulation and program diagrams to balance play areas, lawns, plazas, and the Veterans Memorial within a compact urban footprint.
- Supporting the production of illustrative plans, diagrams, and presentation graphics that communicated the park’s connective role and public-realm improvements to stakeholders.
- Coordinating iterative adjustments to layout, planting zones, and interface conditions based on team feedback, redlines, and evolving project requirements.
