The Redesigned Space
An urban plaza, lawn, terraces with seating and play areas form parts of the layout. The design also includes a cooling-mist feature and a sand-based recreation area. These are listed facilities, not a guarantee that water features are operating year-round.
Historic Elements
The Olympic Arch from the 1988 Winter Games was restored for the site. The preserved Eau Claire and Bow River Lumber Company building provides another link to the area's history.
