Terrain Work is excited to announce we have been commissioned to design the historically significant Al Fresco Park on the Illinois Riverfront in Central Illinois. The eight acre site was once part of an ecologically rich riparian corridor along the Illinois Riverfront, originally frequented as hunting and fishing grounds by Native Americans and French trappers that established the first European settlement of Peoria, IL. It became a regionally prominent amusement park from 1905 to 1944 that was connected by a trolley to downtown Peoria and various communities along the Illinois River via steam ships. Terrain Work, in collaboration with KDB Group, is re-imagining the park to be at the intersection of ecology and culture creating a new civic experience for the community. Look for more developments to come on this special project soon!
