Koshland Park Community Garden Renovation

Scope of Work

Koshland Park Community Garden Renovation will enhance accessibility, improve site stability, and expand opportunities for community use. The project includes construction of a new accessible entry path with Park Tread paving, new retaining walls, and drainage improvements to support long-term site performance. Raised community garden planters will be added to expand growing opportunities, and a new wood deck with integrated seating will provide space for gathering and educational programming.

Background

Koshland Park and its community garden have long served as a vital green space in the Western Addition neighborhood. The garden is managed in partnership with neighbors and local organizations, offering opportunities for food production, environmental education, and volunteerism. Over the years, the site’s circulation paths, slopes, and infrastructure have required updates to meet modern accessibility standards and support the growing needs of the community. The upcoming renovation builds on this legacy by ensuring the garden remains safe, inclusive, and resilient for future generations.
