Northside Park
Wenk Associates led master planning through construction for the visionary development of a park from an abandoned sewage treatment plant. The site occupied the center of a developable area along the South Platte River. Because of high demolition costs, no appropriate or economically feasible use could be identified for the 13-acre plant site. Wenk Associates suggested reuse of plant infrastructure, presenting a viable solution and resulting in a net savings of up to 25% of demolition costs.

The plan for the park includes multi-purpose play fields, adaptive reuse of plant structures for park shelters, and restoration of wildlife habitat. A concrete-lined drainage channel was re-routed to improve water quality and to add to the richness of the park environment. The park has won numerous awards for design and land stewardship.
