Description

The true highlight of the project is the linear park nestled in the redeveloping Heritage District. In order to gain the area for the linear park, J2 worked with the Town and SRP to convert approximately 1200 linear feet of earthen channel to a piped system. The park consists of two major outdoor plaza areas, turf and tree lined paths, and four unique water features. Two water features stand on either side of Gilbert Road and act as a gateway into the downtown. At the center of each plaza is a distinctive water feature representing a tie to Gilbert’s agricultural past and tells the story of how SRP delivers water to the valley.

The Town of Gilbert hired J2 to work with ADOT to convert this planned 16 acre retention basin into a terraced multi-use park scenario. The creative fusing of engineering design with landscape architecture has resulted in the creation of an award winning public amenity, Cosmo Park. The once envisioned dry, fenced slopes have been replaced by grassy, softly undulating inclines, a lake, ADA accessible trails, picnic ramadas, a state-of-the-art dog park with water entry and dog dock, and a K-9 Police Dog training facility. Additionally, public access to a series of interconnected trail systems that link Cosmo Park to other recreational and destination features within the Town was envisioned and developed.

At J2, our reputation has grown from providing beautiful, yet functional, results, completed on time, on budget, and with award winning results.
