AECOM <br /> <br />Design + Planning <br />Masterplanning <br />Landscape Architecture + Urban Design <br /> <br />Studio: Orlando <br /> <br />Barnett Family Park <br /> <br />These services were provided by AECOM <br />professionals during their employment <br />with Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin, Inc. <br /> <br />The main design theme for the park is <br />"discovery" of the natural wonders <br />found within and surrounding the City of \ <br />Lakeland. Creative play environments <br />allow for visitors to learn about the <br />fascinating plants and animals found <br />nearby by climbing on kid-sized insects, <br />guessing the answers to puzzles and <br />finding different types of "critters" on <br />the art walls. <br /> <br />Giant frogs, spiders, bees, inch-worms, <br />ants and dragon flies are designed for <br />climbing and are integrated with <br />playground equipment that resemble a <br />spider's web, a bee hive and an inch <br />worm's body. The interactive water <br />fountain is surrounded by a series of <br />tile mosaic murals that offer a <br />wonderful display of native flora and <br />fauna. Alligators, panthers, <br />grasshoppers, humming birds, herons, <br />bears, large-mouth bass and <br />butterflies are all part of the mosaic. <br /> <br />I n addition to the interactive water <br />fountain and the bug-themed <br />playground, Barnett Family Park also <br />has a labyrinth, a great open lawn, and <br />a new community building. The <br />successful design of the Park has <br />created a unique and wonderful play <br />place in downtown Lakeland. <br /> <br />Project size: 4 acres <br /> <br />Lakecland, FL, USA <br />Client: City of Lakeland <br /> <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach I Design & Permitting Services of the Intracoastal Parks RFQ No. 12-04-04 <br /> <br />31 <br /> <br />A;:COM <br />
