How to Make a Park: Redmond's Northeast Neighborhood
Northeast Neighborhood Park sits on the farthest northern edge of incorporated Redmond. A wooded haven in the midst of subdivisions, this park was the subject of a Master Plan conducted by Nakano Associates and a team including wetland biologist Cathie Connolly of ESA Adolfson and me, working as consulting artist and educator.
Watching this project evolve from concept to a work party on July 18, 2009 during which community members built the beginning of their park was awe-inspiring. The amount of support given by the City Council and the Redmond Parks and Recreation Department proves that positive, directed energy regenerates itself.
