NORTHAMPTON — The company responsible for designing the “re-envisioning” of Pulaski Park has been given an award by the American Society of Landscape Architects.
“The awards recognize the best of landscape architecture in the general design, analysis and planning, communications, research and residential design categories from the United States and around the world,” reads a post about the 2018 awards on ASLA’s website.
The 2018 awards were given to 25 entries out of 368 submissions.
Stimson, based out of Cambridge, was given an Honor Award by ASLA for Re-Envisioning Pulaski Park.
“They were great,” said Wayne Feiden of Northampton of Planning and Sustainability, who had a small role in the design process. “They really listened.”
Feiden praised the park’s redesign, saying that it contains many different spaces, both modern and traditional.
Construction on the first phase of the redesign began in 2016, with construction on the second wrapping in 2017.
A representative for STIMSON was not available to comment for this story.
