In July of 2019 we decided to self-initiate a design strategy that would bring life back to Herrick Park, the one and only park in the village of East Hampton. In recent years, the park has become nearly obsolete and invisible to most. Neither a place to go to, nor the urban connective tissue that it could be, it has seen better days. You never hear anyone say: see you in the park!
We set out to change that; and reverse the course of life-quality degradation that has sadly been inflicted on East Hampton Village. The rejuvenation of the park, proposed here, will start a chain reaction of positive, progressive improvement that, we hope, will restore the village to the hub of life that it was, should be and will be.
This project was received and reviewed by the Village. No pending plan of action on these plans.
