What happens here
The site is a large city park used by neighbourhood residents, the Masjid congregation, and the adjacent church.
HOW IT CAME TO BE
Three congregations, one park.
01
The Need
The park already draws groups who might otherwise not share ground: residents, the Masjid congregation, and the adjacent church.
02
The Vision
To build on the momentum of bringing those groups together by establishing designed contemplative features, adding more beauty, and supporting residents and future leaders in shaping their park as an act of community.
03
The Transformation
