RE-CREATING + RECREATINGGiving Life to the Salmon, Giving Life to the Park
The District of Squamish prides itself as the Outdoor Recreational Capital of Canada, creating a unique interface between the landscape and built environment. Brennan Park, being the heart of this recreation center, currently struggles with the balance of sports facilities and salmon habitat. This project uses the design of riparian buffers as a framework for program layout, that emphasizes the importance of protecting salmon and educating the park users. This project strengthens the identity of Brennan Park, a place where ecology and recreation co-exist to engage and inspire.
“Salmon have played a key role in the cultural, social and economic value of these communities and where there is a commitment to preserving this iconic fish in the interests of all British Columbians and Canadians.”- Cohen Commission on declining salmon populations
