Upholding a mission of accessibility, environmental stewardship, public outreach and education, new plazas and gardens are designed to complement existing gardens, showcase the eco-regions of Texas, and engage the site’s history as a former quarry and waterworks. Page complemented the enhanced environment with the development of wayfinding and donor signage that is generally quiet with selected exuberant flourishes that capture the color and life of this beautiful respite within a dynamic city.
