Placemaking at Quarry Falls: PPS Report

Over the past 32 years, Project for Public Spaces (PPS) has evaluated more than 2,000 public spaces, and informally investigated thousands more.

Recently, PPS conducted a Visioning Workshop for the Quarry Falls project to develop a vision for the public spaces at Quarry Falls that reflects how people will want to use this space and today we have the results.

Placemaking at Quarry Falls is a 94-page report that reflects the ideas and recommendations that emerged at the Visioning Workshop and is intended to set the stage for the next step: the design of the site plan for Quarry Falls Civic Area and Public Park.

Although the workshop focused on the park and civic center, participants also considered the broader community that is being planned around the park - the streets, sidewalks, parks, buildings and other public spaces - and how together they could become the setting for interaction between people in the future community.
