Located on 16 acres along Calgary’s downtown Eau Claire park and Peace Bridge Riverfront, the design focuses on strengthening the city’s pathways network, providing improved recreation areas and integrating public art into the riverfront pathway system. The lighting design for the space utilizes SAFE Design principles along with advanced DMX lighting controls for dynamic colour control and integration with nearby bridge lighting systems. Emergency call boxes are located throughout the pathway system for improved public safety, and power has been strategically located to better facilitate programming for public performances.
