Stewart is collaborating with HargreavesJones to create the Riverfront Park, a new seven-acre destination park on the riverfront in Wilmington, NC. This dynamic urban park will learn from the city’s historic past to create a place for future generations to enjoy concerts, festivals, or simply a walk along the riverfront. The park’s diverse program will feature stormwater gardens, event lawns, a performance venue, spraygrounds, and many other elements to create a new destination for Wilmington.
This project achieved verification through its WEDG® (Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines) program, making it the tenth WEDG Verified project and the first project outside of New York City to meet the standard for excellence in waterfront design. WEDG verification is the gold standard for resilient, ecologically sound, and accessible waterfront design.
