The Bay: "One Park for All" in Sarasota
The jury found the project offers a great place-making with a mix of programs for different ages and sizes of groups. The experience of moving through the mangrove and the preserved large tree is mesmerizing. The integration of ecological elements is particularly impressive, with the incorporation of low-tech methods and the restoration of mangroves showcasing a commitment to sustainability.
