LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park Improvements Town of Oyster Bay Department of Public Works
LiRo-Hill prepared a master plan, developed design documents, and provided construction inspection services for the restoration of this early 20th century park. Due to consistent flooding and incompatible prior renovations, the design aesthetic of the park had been severely compromised. The project addressed drainage issues and reconnected the park to the adjacent commercial district. A new elevated synthetic turf soccer field spans over storm- water leaching chambers, and a bioswale now improves onsite water retention. The deteriorated seawall was stabilized by installing a reinforced fiberglass cantilevered bulkhead and resetting the original stone facing. New walkways, period lighting, and selective tree removal and planting have restored the intent of the historic Memorial Area landscape plan.
