• A centerpiece of Danbury’s life and culture from the late 1890’s as Danbury Green needed repair
• Originally called Fountain Park, it had deteriorated into two mud-filled traffic islands
• The city direction was only "to clean them up and place a fountain"

The Plan

• Created collaborative team with the City Planning and Zoning Department and City Engineering
• Re-create what had been a significant part of Danbury’s history from the turn of the century through World War II
• Manage the project within a very tight budget

The Result

• “The Precious Treasure of Danbury” is what the park is now referred to
• Elmwood Park has become an integral and useful part of the community
• All work was completed on time and within budget
• 1999 CTAPA Award Winner
