基瓦尼斯梅索公园售货亭丨美国华盛顿丨Fivedot,Site Workshop

As part of their commitment to "put a quality park within a 10-minute walk of five million people who currently lack access by creating new parks or transforming underutilized parks in the communities of greatest need and by activating local and national partnerships," the Trust for Public Land worked with the City of Wenatchee to revitalize Kiwanis Methow Park in Wenatchee, Washington. Building on the deep community engagement that TPL had begun, Fivedot worked with Site Workshop to understand the deep history, desires and needs of the predominantly Latino community in South Wenatchee. The project team worked with the community to design an 874-square-foot kiosko to anchor the new park and provide a visual point of cultural identity for the community. The deep overhangs shade casual gatherings during the week while the graceful steel arches frame mariachi performances in the evening.

Murals on the concrete benches were done by Claire Barnett with Seattle Mosaic Arts using designs originating from the artist led workshops where community members created the various plates which were installed. Wenatchee artist Terry Valdez led the visioning and coordination for these efforts.
