Project Description
Landscape Architecture Services
Perkins Park is a 0.8 mile long stretch of coastline in the Monterey Bay in Pacific Grove, CA. This park, originally designed by Henry Hays Perkins, paid a 1960s homage to his beloved South African botanic plants. The park has been featured on the cover of Life Magazine and Natural Geographic three times over the last 30 years and is a treasured landmark in Pacific Grove.
After years of drought and lack of up-keep, the city was in need of a vegetation renovation and historic preservation plan for the park. ECI spearheaded an integrative design process that involved community feed-back & surveys, stakeholder interviews, and community presentations. In the wake of COVID-19 quarantine mid-design, ECI had to navigate the community outreach process in a virtual world. We created Zoom meeting protocols and employed virtual stake-holder interactions which were adapted by the City-wide processes. Deliverable products include:
(1) Local Business feedback report
(1) Stakeholder Survey Report
(2) Stakeholder Presentation & Boards
(1) City Council Presentation
(3) Conceptual Design Options
(6) Conceptual Renderings & Section Drawings
(1) Construction Documents Set
(2) Landscape Management Plan
(1) Existing Conditions Report
(2) Engineers Estimates
(1) Website
(1) Zoom Protocols
(1) Community Survey
