Final Project Fall 2021 University on Cincinnati, 2021 This project’s main focus was in Lower Price Hill at Evans Park along the Mill Creek in Cincinnati, Ohio. This area is is historically known for its economic and ecological injustice. Our project was looking at new ways to connect the community with the surrounding area and reimagine Evans Park. For my approach I wanted to focus on connection with the community through a series of lofted pathways and bike trails to connect the community with the surrounding area and lead into downtown Cincinnati. A community corridor to safely connect the community to the park was proposed as well. When looking at Evans Park the main concerns facing the community were the heat island effect, air pollution and flood possibilities. To help combat these ecological effects a new forest area, ecological learning gardens, and new tree plantings around the area were proposed. To engage the community over 3 miles of trails would be installed along the park and Mill Creek for views of the city and Ohio river, offering exercise of different forms to the community, and safe travel around the area for children and those of all ages.
