Creekside Park in Civita Honored with an ‘Orchid’By the San Diego Architectural Foundation
The San Diego Architectural Foundation honored Creekside Park in Civita with an “Orchid” award in the Landscape Architecture category during the annual Orchids & Onions ceremony on Oct. 2.
The 1.3-acre linear park extends from Friars Road to Civita Boulevard and is adjacent to the 14.3-acre Civita Park. Creekside Park includes elevated walkways spanning a cobble swale below, a children’s play area, seating, picnic areas and an off-leash dog run.
Sudberry Properties developed Creekside Park in partnership with the city of San Diego’s Parks and Recreation Department. The park was designed by Schmidt Design Group, Inc. of San Diego, with Glen Schmidt, FASLA, principal in charge, Jennifer Montgomery, associate landscape architect, and Jesus Alan Figueroa, project manager. RICK provided civil engineering services and Hazard Construction was the general contractor.
Orchids & Onions is the only interactive, community-based program to raise awareness and encourage practical discourse in response to San Diego’s built environment.
