Durham PArk
Richardson, Texas

This one-acre park meets the needs of one of Richardson's first neighborhoods, an area once identified as lacking in park land and public greenspace. The contemporary design reflects the neighborhood's original fabric, using former driveways and sidewalks to create points of arrival and circulation through the site. The park honors the former residents that once called the site home, reusing salvaged bricks to construct a pavilion. A locating program preserves significant legacy trees to be enjoyed for generations to come. The shaded gathering space, butterfly garden, playground, and casual open play lawn create a park that has become the social centerpiece of this neighborhood, hosting block parties, movies on the lawn, and food truck events in additional daily use by residents.
