What happens here
The park is a quiet place for contemplation with a view of downtown, the Naval Academy, and the waters of Spa Creek.
HOW IT CAME TO BE
A model for every street-end park in the city.
01
The Need
The street-end park, often known as Leon Wolfe Park, was in dire need of updated design and renovation. Run-off and trash were polluting Spa Creek.
02
The Vision
The site was to be both a quiet place for contemplation and an environmentally proactive rain garden, offered as a model for all Annapolis street-end parks.
03
The Transformation
Plants were chosen to capture and filter the run-off and trash polluting Spa Creek. A historical accent marks the site's past as the location of the original bridge connecting Eastport and Annapolis.
