From parking lot to playfield. The Four Seasons Athletic Site transforms a former strip mall into a year-round destination for play, built on a site that had long been forgotten.

The result is a system that supports playability across all seasons while responding to the site’s constraints. Big moves above. Smart systems below. #ISG #WLAM2026 #ThisIsLandscapeArchitecture #LandscapeArchitecture #LandscapeDesign American Society of Landscape Architects
