Camiros was selected to assist the Village of Richton Park with design and development services related a new Town Center Park. The Village wanted to create a new park space that would serve as a visual gateway to the Town Center, and provide a valuable amenity at the intersection of Sauk Trail and Governor’s Highway, directly adjacent to the Village’s Regional Commuter Rail (Metra) Station.
The design of the park makes a bold statement when viewed from the corridor, creating a new landmark in the town center, and providing the community with a new recreational amenity that allows for both active and passive enjoyment of the space.
Key features of the design include a shaded trellis/seating area framing a large open space perfect for hosting a variety of community events, and a new zero-depth water feature with jets for splash play during the summer months. A curvilinear brick wall edges the space, serving as a new Village sign at the corner, providing a sense of separation and enclosure from the adjacent street.
The Village is currently looking to implement and begin construction of the Town Center Park.
