Schiffer Park

Overview

Giffels Webster was contracted to provide design, construction administration, and inspection for the complete reconstruction of a small pocket park at the intersection of West Nine Mile and Planavon. The project included sewer and water service improvements, hardscape replacement, and ADA compliant sidewalks to improve accessibility. Additional work involved irrigation design, electrical and lighting systems for safety, and custom planter benches with brick paving to create a cohesive, welcoming, and functional public space for the community.

Problem

The existing pocket park lacked updated infrastructure, accessible walkways, and cohesive amenities. Aging utilities, limited lighting, and worn hardscape reduced safety, accessibility, and overall usability, preventing the space from fully meeting community needs or serving as an inviting public gathering area.

Solution

Giffels Webster delivered a full park reconstruction with upgraded utilities, ADA compliant sidewalks, improved lighting, and new hardscape. Integrated irrigation, custom planter benches, and brick paving enhanced functionality, accessibility, and visual appeal, resulting in a safe, welcoming, and engaging community space.
