Parks, Plazas & Squares Projects

PPS has extensive experience in creating and improving parks, plazas and squares that are active, vital, and enjoyable places for people. In developing conceptual plans, PPS considers how the spaces function, including the design and placement of amenities and programming of events and activities. PPS's goal is to improve these public spaces so they are exciting, comfortable, usable and economically viable for the people who use and manage them, and that they are truly representative of the common life of the community.
