Legacy Park
DESCRIPTION
This 15-acre park showcases responsible water management through a sustainable design that recreates natural processes and native habitat.  As an implementation of the Malibu Civic Center Integrated Water Quality Management Plan, the park both improves water quality through stormwater/wastewater capture and treatment; and reflects the community’s values and vision for the future. Primary site features include: stormwater detention basin, habitat restoration, linear park, pedestrian trail system and alternative irrigation systems for recycling stormwater and wastewater. A comprehensive public awareness and outreach program enriched the design team’s understanding of the community’s vision for the park. Educational and recreational elements include an outdoor classroom, walking trails, benches, and interpretive kiosks. RHAA teamed with the engineering firm RMC Water and Environment. RHAA served as lead consultant for the park planning portion.
