This project explores how incorporating intergenerational nature play can augment Exposition Park’s biodiversity and promote the well-being of the community. In response to inequitable access and dominance of hardscapes, the design integrates native planting, topography, enhanced circulation, and structures dedicated for community-driven activities and enjoyment of nature. Through careful consideration of climate resiliency and park use, this new design creates spaces for play, reflection, learning, and connection for all ages. By engaging with intergenerational nature play, this project responds to public health and ecological issues and cultivates deeper connections to nature for the South Los Angeles community and other park visitors.
