Description

By 2050, the population in California is expected to rise to 50 million people while our rainfall is projected to decrease by 10-15% due to climate change. Locally, the City of Los Angeles loses 100 billion gallons of water a year do to stormwater runoff through a largely impermeable drainage system. AHBE/MIG, Paul Murdoch Architects (PMA) and PACE Water Engineering has developed a park in South Los Angeles for the County of Los Angeles that is a model for renovating an aging park and creating a 21st Century facility that not only addresses how Southern California might implement the capture and reuse of our stormwater runoff but adds a much needed amenity to an underserved community.
