A passionate team of CUSP designers led by Stephen Pate reimagined this space that was previously used for parking into a dynamic recreational space that celebrates the riverside location and improves connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists from the riveredge to the City grid.

Framed by terraces and broad steps positioned for sitting and spectating, this space is able to support a wide variety of recreational opportunities, including outdoor gym equipment and table tennis and structures suitable for plyometric training.
