Colorful, winding walls

Nestled in the mountains of La Crescenta, the most unique feature of Dunsmore Park is the whimsical, colorful walls which wind through the park. We were charged with the task of revitalizing the park, renovating the tennis courts and tot lots and adding a restroom/concession building and a lighted ballfield. Local residents and members of Glendale's Community Development Department collected material for the walls of the restroom/concession building so the park's new addition would look as if it had been there since the park's creation. The lighted ballfield has concrete bleachers which require little maintenance, and enjoys an extraordinary view of the local mountains. The $700,000 budget also included improved pedestrian circulation within the site and to adjacent school grounds, and the creation of a monument sign with other improvements that have added a sense of entry to the park.
