The winning scheme for the design of Windsor’s Central Riverfront was based on the concept of unifying the riverfront through the placement of five key park pavilions called ‘Beacons’. The Windsor Central Riverfront is a unique 6-km linear urban park system that parallels the Canadian shore of the Detroit River. As an open space system, it is a key resource in the on-going urbanization and revitalization of the City. The project involved the preparation of a comprehensive plan and implementation strategy for this continuous six-kilometre park area along the Detroit River. The Beacons provide a variety of services, such as cafes, washrooms, telephones and fountains, and explore thematic aspects of the park design.
