Confluence Park
Passive open space capitalizes on the natural
beauty of the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers in downtown Binghamton. The hub of
a network of urban riverfront greenways, the park was planned to provide safe
public access to city neighborhoods and parks. Confluence Park is situated
between two historic bridges at the gateway to downtown. A favorite spot for
fishermen, it offers a handicap accessible pier, 10 foot wide paved paths, seat
walls and benches. An overlook and entry plaza incorporate early American
symbolism in pavements and plantings, and provide a venue for outdoor education.
Interpretive panels offer historic references to this unique space. Project
completed on time and under budget with no change orders. Received 2003 ASLA
New York Upstate Chapter merit award for public space. |
