RIFLE CAMP AMPHITHEATERPARK 01
Rifle Camp Park is a 169-acre park within the historic Passaic County Park system. Located in the Borough of Woodland Park and adjacent to the expansive Garret Mountain Reservation, Rifle Camp Park is a beautifully forested park with varying topography that provides panoramic views of New York City and a forested respite for residents in a rapidly urbanizing area. The newly designed amphitheater is situated within an existing clearing in the park and replaces an outdated, underutilized existing block structure and lawn with a wood pavilion, decorative stone stage platform, and block stone seating to compliment the naturalized aesthetic of the park while increasing the programmatic function of the space. Taking advantage of the sloping topography of the lawn, the stone seating is thoughtfully arranged for multiple uses of varying attendees so that the space is utilized on a more frequent basis. The amphitheater will be home to various County events and summer concert series, as well as an outdoor classroom space for the John Crowley Nature Center and Observatory.

DUNDEE PARKISLAND
Dundee Island Park redesigns a neglected 6.73 acre park located in Passaic, New Jersey. Situated on a narrow strip of land partially within the active floodway of the Passaic River and adjacent to an abandoned railroad right-of-way, the park presents a unique set of regulatory, access, and flooding constraints. The new design includes an elevated field house, playground, splash pad, soccer field, fitness zone, amphitheater, and river walk arranged around a new vehicular loop. Native wet meadow plantings, rain gardens, and other green infrastructure methods are interwoven throughout the park in strategic locations and elevations to maximize floodplain storage and resiliency during storm events. The design not only adheres to NJDEP requirements, but also reflects the strong desires heard from the community for safety and accessibility, river access and resiliency, and multi-aged family focus. The project is the first phase of a multiphase movement to restore contiguous access to the river.

The Garret Mountain Reservation Phase II site is located within the 568-acre park located in Woodland Park and Paterson, NJ. The park was originally conceived by the Brothers firm as part of the Passaic County Open Space system, and the overall design balances current community needs while still maintaining important elements of the historic Olmsted Brothers layout. The project limits are broken into two main areas: the Auto Overlook and the High Meadow. The Auto Overlook improvements focus on increased accessibility, parking layout efficiency, and drainage improvements and enhancements. A new accessible route connects the Auto Overlook to the High Meadow, where a naturethemed playground sits atop the grade, punctuated with boulders, mounds, and planting. Other features include a shade structure, fitness area, and picnic grove. Both the High Meadow and Auto Overlook areas will include native plants exclusively which are suitable for Garret Mountain’s rocky soils and serve as habitat for migratory bird species.

As part of the Anchor Parks program, NYC Parks is investing $30 million “to bring new life” to Highbridge Park. It was selected for this major investment based on its potential for development, the needs of the large nearby user population and historical underinvestment. The intent of the master planning process was to document and develop a comprehensive plan for the development of Highbridge Park that addresses the needs of the local community and fulfills the aspirations for this iconic site to play a key role in New York City’s public open space system. Two capital projects were selected from the overall master plan and are currently under construction; Phase 1 reinstates access to a 10-block stretch of the park and includes pathway improvements and seating, new community gathering spaces, and a restoration of the historic Grand Staircase at Laurel Hill Terrace. The Phase 2 project scope includes the reconstructed Adventure Playground, a new comfort station, a new fitness area in the Sunken Playground and a new synthetic turf practice field north of the Highbridge Recreation Center.

The Flat Rock Brook Master Plan for the Jones Road Picnic Area and Playground is the culmination of an iterative design process completed in close collaboration with the members of the Flat Rock Brook Nature Association to analyze the opportunities and constraints of the project site, identify primary project goals, and ultimately come to a holistic design plan that creatively integrates the needs and desires of Flat Rock Brook and its users. The new design invites all users to connect with nature in a variety of ways including a new outdoor classroom, nature-themed playground and forest play trail, picnic groves, gathering plaza, and access to new and existing trails. The Master Plan also identifies projected costs and an anticipated timeline and phasing plan that can be utilized for future construction. This document serves as a design intent guide as the project moves into the next phase of development.

The main goal of the investigation was to create innovative ways to analyze the existing conditions of the current transportation system from an onthe-ground student perspective and explore how to visualize and convey sustainable transportation principles to various user groups. It aims to better understand where users are traveling to and from, the role of transportation within the campus culture, and where the prioritization of alternative methods of transportations will have the most influential impact.
Re-envisioning Campus: Master Planning for Students, by Students was created to reeval uate the current process of master planning to establish a more inclusive, student-inspired approach. Using an environmental behavior research framework, the goal was to simplify complex campus issues into digestible questions that could be explored through unique inventory and analysis and later solved through site-specific design interventions. My focus on sustainable campus transporation is conceived as an individual part of a three-focus collective analysis for the Rutgers University Cook/Douglass Campus (Michelle Hartmann, Sustainable Social Space and Rebecca Cook, Sustainable Stormwater Management Prac tices).

The abstract spatial diagram looks at how social hotspots are located in relation just to each other, absent of context, to see what patterns emerge. A large majority of the most important buildings can be reached within a 5 minute walk. Furthermore, the entire campus can be traversed in 20 minutes. The accessibility of these hotspots in relation to each other reinforces the notion that a bus dominated system is not necessary in this central core of activity.
