The Depot Square Park project is part of the revitalization efforts for the village of Hope Valley in town of Hopkinton, Rhode Island. The site is owned by the Hope Valley-Wyoming Fire District and abuts their fire house. Landscape Elements LLC was the prime consultant on a team that included site-civil engineers, wetland and environmental scientists, traffic engineers and a project sculptor
The central sitting area is focused around a fountain feature that utilizes an existing historic cast-iron urn which was once part of a horse trough located at the 1800's train depot square. The fountain feature design as well as the design of stone walls was developed with the project sculptor, Ana Flores. Ms. Flores is also spearheading the "history wall" component of this project whereby selected quotes about the history of Hope Valley will be engraved on large stone pieces that are embedded within the stone walls. This project had a high level of community participation as the site elements reflect the needs of the fire district for safe access by fire trucks to the building as well as the needs of the community for a highly visible green space on Main Street that reflects the character and history of Hope Valley, Rhode Island. » Back to Case Studies |
