Pioneer Park Playground
Port St Lucie, Florida
Landscape DE was Landscape Architect and Prime Consultant for this project completed in 2024. The scope included the design of a playground with a water play area, an entry feature, pathways, a 160’ long green wall, and public art elements. The design was developed with a public engagement process that included a presentation, surveys, a booth at the Citizen Summit, and interviews with City Council members. The design has a river theme with animals and forms inspired by the nearby St Lucie River and the design also has a nature-oriented focus. The design protected an existing tree stand of pines and oaks. The design also uses mostly native plant materials and incorporates large live oak trees for shade throughout the play area/
