While at the Prospect Park Alliance

Prospect Park - Ornamental Rail

While lead landscape architect at the Prospect Park Alliance, we reconstructed the ornamental rail for the Concert Grove as part of the Leon Levy Esplanade. We used historic photos to reimagine the details that were taken by a model maker who created a mold that was used to cast the posts in iron like the originals.

It was a wonderful experience to work on this Olmsted recreation.

The Sandy storm took many mature trees down in Prospect Park and soon after the Prospect Park Alliance got a request from Donald and Barbara Zucker to build a play space on the north end of the park. We an excellent contractor: Curtis from Barnhart Restoration, we designed and built the Zucker Natural Exploration Area with only the down trees, sand and a lot of imagination.

Building music island - prospect park

I have always loved grading and drainage, and this project was a dream. I drew the grading plan and was able to supervise the construction crew that created Music Island, the focal point of Prospect Park’s Concert Grove. We moved tons of earth, placed hundreds of boulders and moved truck loads of pea gravel behind a coffer dam in Prospect Park’s Lake. As the water came back in, Music Island emerged: a wonderful day.
