CALGARY URBAN PARKS PLAN: NOSE CREEK VALLEY

This project entailed long range park and open space planning for a 15 mile long valley of Nose Creek and West Nose Creek in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. An ongoing citizen involvement committee assisted in the determination of objectives for land use. Nose Creek was one part of 5 separate major watersheds within the city, each taken on by a separate landscape architecture firm; the whole project was coordinated by the Calgary Parks and Recreation Department. The project won provincial and national awards from the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects. Jim Patterson shared responsibility for this work in 1993-1994 at Matrix Landscape Architecture in Calgary, Alberta.
