These Much-Anticipated Park Facilities Were Worth the Wait
These Much-Anticipated Park Facilities Were Worth the Wait
Nearly sixty years after the Overpeck County Park was promised to the residents of Bergen County, RSC was able to lend their design expertise to the creation of four new park facilities.
After an extensive environmental clean-up of this regional landfill, more than 150 acres of former swamps and dumping grounds have been transformed into an idyllic park space with playgrounds, pedestrian and bicycle trails, athletic fields, boat launches, an amphitheater stage, and other recreational amenities. These buildings, which also include a maintenance garage, concession, and toilet buildings, exude a style that is reminiscent of the American Prairie movement, with exposed wooden trusses and hipped slate shingle roofs constructed of masonry and stone.
