Actually I take back "odd". It's just bad.
@Northern Light A good candidate for your Problematic Park Design thread
I probably will do a thread on it.
For the moment, I want to observe that this big spartan space appears to simply serve to show off the 'baseball diamond'. Which is so entirely lifelike that no one would ever guess its meaning w/o reading the subtle plaque laid in at 'home plate'.
This was not the right way to do this.
I'm not sure there was a right way to memorialize Sunlight Park on such a small space, but this was certainly not it.
IF, one really wanted something baseball centric, instead of merely a different colour of pavers in a diamond shape, one could have done a planting bed in green, and white that would been much more striking..........
Or one could have used water for the bases and base paths, and infilled the diamond with lily pads..........
But frankly, just the original design would have been fine.
I haven't gotten close enough to the planters to have a look, but my impression is that they've nixed the uplighting of the trees which would have been a nice feature.
