Trestle
Park
Adrian,
Michigan |
|
This
urban park is located within walking distance of downtown
Adrian and has become one the most successful and
highly used parks in the community. The centerpiece
of the park is an abandoned railroad trestle that
was adaptively repurposed as a pedestrian deck. The
park includes 30 acres of river bottomland, picnic
pavilions, an amphitheater, a little league field,
and restrooms. The importance of the trestle was reflected
by the railroad theme with all buildings labeled "Stations,"
such as "Comfort Station" for the restroom.
The
park won a State of Michigan, American Society of
Landscape Architects Merit Design Award.
