The Borough of Woodcliff Lake contracted DMR to design a two-acre, municipally owned parcel in the center of town into their first Borough-owned park. The former garden center, known locally as the Galaxy Gardens site, is adjacent to the municipal pool and athletic fields, offering a central location for the project that is the culmination of years of planning.
DMR provided multiple concepts and several iterations for the park, exploring various options for passive outdoor space, a performance area, fitness and other amenities, with the intention of bringing history, athletics, entertainment, and outdoor living together in one place.
The initial concepts, pictured here, called for a transformational project including a great lawn, water feature, dog park, picnic areas, pergolas, a playground and an amphitheatre, among many other elements.
