This 3.6-acre park is part of the Alamo Creek sustainable community in Danville, California. Its innovative land plan and a water conservation partnership with East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) earned the Project of the Year award for Sustainable Land Development Visionary.

Project Manager Ric Hendricks oversaw the design of protected open space, with 25 acres dedicated to parks and recreational facilities, including a soccer complex, aquatic and community center, and connections to the East Bay Regional Parks trail system. Ric managed all aspects of the project, including alternative design scenarios, conceptual design, design development, construction documentation, material selection, cost estimation, and construction observation.

As the largest park in the development, it features inclusive amenities for all visitors. Central seating areas and ample picnic and barbecue venues provide spaces for family and group gatherings, while a custom restroom building serves as both a maintenance headquarters and the central command center for the development’s irrigation system.
