Glendale Murphy Park

Glendale Murphy Park

The overarching goals of the City of Glendale Downtown Campus Reinvestment Project are to provide civic and sustainable spaces for the public, while attracting visitors for a variety of events. When phase II is completed, the campus will create a high quality, iconic downtown center that is characteristic of the City of Glendale and celebrates Glendale’s community heritage. Murphy Park implements flexible design which fosters a mix of uses throughout the site, while also providing for both large and small scale programmable and non-programmable events. Uni­versal design will be a cornerstone for site accessibility for users of all ages and abilities. The reinvestment of the City of Glendale Downtown Campus as a park and civic space will act as a catalyst for increased mixed-use, higher intensity, transit-oriented development in city of Glendale. The campus improvements will also support and enhance governmental and cultural facilities directly on-site and out to the broader community. Sustainability is a significant component and goal for the project. The landscape design creates high performance, sustainable landscape spaces which are expressive of itself. Mitigation of climate for maximum user comfort is a main consideration for all outdoor spaces. Enhanced landscape gardens will be created through the implementation of low water use, durable and maintainable materials.
