Greenwood Park Master Plan Approved
Press Release: Greenwood Park master plan approved; moving forward with unprecedented design-led investment benefiting North Baton Rouge and the greater city and region
项目不仅是大型社区公园，也是广泛地区的休闲目的地，设计概念以整个巴顿鲁日社区的反馈和参与为基础
格林伍德社区公园
The bayou promenade - a community "front porch" for Baton Rouge
占地近270公顷的格林伍德社区公园是东巴顿鲁日堂区（East Baton Rouge Parish）面积最大的公园，贝克堂区和北巴顿鲁日堂区就在毗邻。多年以来，公园设施只占总地块面积的一成半，并且被27洞高尔夫球场包围，使用上并不便利，此外，巴顿鲁日动物园虽然同属公园的一部分，但却与其他设施相隔甚远，时常让人以为动物园是独立于公园而运营，二者之间缺乏联系。Sasaki在2018年应邀为格林伍德公园重塑形象，并与动物园园方联合开展社区意见征集活动，由托尔设计联合体（Torre Design Consortium, Ltd）牵头的总体规划工作同步进行，多方携手协力为公园寻求最理想的改造方案。
方案以路易斯安那州的自然风景和文化资源为考虑重点，重新设计的公园既是人们逃离烦嚣的休憩地，也是凝聚社群的活动场所。功能设施的设计平衡且多样化，好动和好静人士可以各取所需，形形色色的路径贯穿其中，建构出完善的步行网络。改造后的巴顿鲁日动物园与公园直接相连，其作为社区设施的形象变得更为鲜明，是男女老少假日的好去处。焕然一新的格林伍德公园不仅服务本区民众，也为毗邻的贝克和北巴顿鲁日两区、以至更广泛区域提供休闲康乐空间。
The overall design vision for the park
The design’s first phase, which broke ground on December 8, 2020, will include a signature adventure playground, a new entry building and sequence for the zoo relocated within Greenwood Park, AZA re-accreditation for the zoo, a giraffe feeding, a pygmy hippo exhibit, re-routing of the zoo train, an expanded and upgraded J.S. Clark Golf Course, the restoration of Cypress Bayou, and the creation of the Signature Bayou Promenade.
Greenwood Park is easily accessible for all of East Baton Rouge (EBR) Parish and beyond
The team considered different social factors, like population density, when designing the park
总体规划方案的其中一个重要阶段，是利用精细的测绘技术对基地过去和现存条件进行全面发掘和分析，以了解更多隐藏信息，这样一来，规划方案是建基于基地生态、水文和文化内容而发展的结果。
社区意见征集是项目过程的重要一环。为尽量接触不同年龄、阶层和群体的市民，鼓励他们踊跃表达意见，团队走访不同社区，举行了多元化的社区活动。他们利用Instagram道具拍照框和扭蛋机等创意方式与市民互动，又制作了一幅约7米乘7米的巨型平面图，让人以另类方式亲自“踏足”公园。除了收集反馈信息外，此次的社区参与活动还发挥规划简介会的作用，为民众分析公园当前的情况，以深化人们与公园的关系，激发大家思考公园的未来。
Different community engagement methods, like this gameboard, encouraged people to share feedback on the plan throughout the design process
The team prioritized bringing a multitude of perspectives to the table to inform their design

At the final public meeting a diverse range of stakeholder holders and community members were present demonstrating the broad reach of the team’s community engagement strategy which was foundational to the plan
在研究各方意见后，团队为公园的改造规划定下了四项指导方针：一、感受路易斯安那州的自然风光，二、营造日常生活和节庆体验，三、保持活力开放，凝聚不同社群，四、与民同乐，与民成长。这四大方针构成了整个创意设计过程的框架。
A series of four guiding principles established early in the process through listening to the aspirations of the community and stakeholders provided a benchmark for success as the design evolved. These four elements can be found in all phases of parks future.
The team referred to three main site analysis factors

Different themes began emerging from community feedback
总体规划措施包括：将动物园入口调整至朝向公园内部，在新的河口长廊（Bayou Promenade）的一侧，动物园与滨水大楼（Waterfront Building）相连，成为社区设施网络的组成部分，为男女老少提供假日好去处；完善的步道系统为散步、慢跑、骑自行车和骑马等活动提供优良场地，人们从此享有更多、更新颖的康乐体验；扩展后的湖泊和新造的溪流将成为水上运动的热门地，在洪范季节更起到采集雨洪水的水利功能；造型独特、充满冒险性的游乐景观，让无分年龄的玩家投入其中，感受活跃的户外活动氛围。重新规划的格林伍德社区公园不仅拥有大型音乐会场，也容纳社区花园和步行路径等各种生活设施，这里是区域中重要的节庆场地，也是满足本地居民康乐作息需要的日常场所。
The plan establishes a process to transform the 660 acre park and zoo into a space that serves as a community hub for the surrounding neighborhoods and as a destination for the people of greater Baton Rouge
The vision for the site unfolds into a series of programmatic spaces that are tied together by restored bayous and miles of trails
Three different illustrative plans incorporated different aspects of the plan’s guiding principles
Greenwood’s Louisiana Playground offers children of all ages something to do. Elevated walks, large slides, larger-than-life animal play features, and delta-themed water play features weave in and out of mature forest. This feature was the number one priority that came out of the extensive community engagement process.
The final design, shown here, brings together a whole host of technical constraints like flooding, sensitive habitat, and existing site features with a broad set of community desires
总体规划方案在2019年9月获得批准。
