| The
City of Long Beach
has a strong craftsman-style architectural history. The
primary inspiration for the Craftsman style was to look
at the flow and symmetry of nature and interpret this into
design. This history is carried over in the design of the
Cesar Chavez Community Park.
This
thirty acre community park is centered around an aquatics
facility with a 10,500 square-foot craftsman-style community
center. The proximity to Shoreline Drive created a site
challenge by dividing the park into two separate use-areas.
The
park program includes:
- Picnic
areas
- Basketball
courts
- Tennis
Courts
- Roller
hockey courts
- Lighted
soccer fields
- Multi-use
trails and pedestrian bridges
- Amphitheater
- Water
features
- Playgrounds
for various age groups
