Description
In 2014, Seferian Design Group was retained by the City of Hamilton to provide landscape architectural design services for the new skating loop in Waterdown Memorial Park. Our team worked collaboratively with the City and the consulting team to develop a landscape design that: implemented a consistent municipal design and technical standard; encouraged a high standard of landscape design; ensured safe and efficient pedestrian access, connections, and circulation; and created appropriate relationships and transitions between built form and public space.
