Project Details
Lebanon Park is broken up into three spaces: Work Space (blue), Public Space (yellow), and Play Space (red). The Work Space includes a pavilion with flexible seating options. Drawn farther away from the public square to create a more private and quiet space.
The Public, or community, Space is for the Lebanon locals and those looking to visit. The Amphitheater is made to host a variety of community events and provides seating and partial shade when not in use.
The Play Space is located farthest from roads to help ensure the safety of the park’s patrons. There is an interactive play space for children. It incorporates the existing water conditions with the play environment through touch tanks and changes in elevation.
