Josiah Cain for rana creek

Van Cortlandt Park

BRONX, NY

This unique project combines community recreation access with high security infrastructure operations in an integrated site plan. The project scope includes a 9-acre green roof system, use of wetland systems to filter water and control building temperature, application of surplus water to provide security, and management of local ecology consultants.

Excess ground water is redirected into habitat enrichment and security features. Surplus water is routed to the adjacent golf course and infiltration systems. Water features supply water for ground source heat in building systems and non-potable project water demand.
