位于美国佛罗里达州坦帕新落成的Julian B. Lane河滨公园在一个充满活力的“河滨摇滚”周末，为了欢迎来到公园的数千人而举行了盛大开幕庆典。整座城市，以及来自各行各业的游客参与了本次活动，该项目这个面积达25英亩（约10.1公顷），由Civitas、W Architecture and Landscape Architecture，以及工程师Stantec合作完成。

这座造价约3500万美元的公园复兴项目是坦帕市市长Bob Buckhorn近20年的夙愿，它是坦帕西部地区的一项重大投资，同时也是“几十年来的空缺”，该项目完成后能够很好地激活了希尔斯堡河（Hillsborough River）的西部地区，使水道成为城市中心，这也是该项目的关键部分。

Civias创始人Mark Johnson说：“有超过25000人参加开幕式晚会，这个新公园已经成为附近人们的休闲目的地。几十年来，坦帕西部的人们第一次有机会在这片水域上游乐、划船，抑或是在在公园里游戏。”

这座河滨公园原先建造于1977年，曾经这附近还有一个锚点，在此之前，这个河滨公园已经几乎荒废。Civias和W设计工作室在2014年初与坦帕西部社区进行了公众宣传，和利益相关者也进行了沟通，征求了社区人们的意见，并据此设计最终的方案。“我们将公园周边人群的使用目的与人们对城市基础性能设施的日常需求相平衡。”项目经理Robin Norcross说道，“位于公园中央的游乐场、飞盘区和‘前廊’为这个空间创造了家庭活动中心。”

Conceived as a “park for everyone,” Tampa, Florida’s new Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park welcomed thousands in a dynamic “Riverfront Rock” weekend grand opening celebration. Visitors from around the city and all walks of life engaged with the 25-acre public space, validating the inclusive vision created by Civitas with W Architecture and Landscape Architecture and engineering partner Stantec.
The $35 million revitalized park is a nearly 20-year dream of City of Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn’s, representing a major investment in the West Tampa neighborhood he has described as “underserved for decades” and activating the west side of the Hillsborough River – a key piece in the larger mission of making the waterway the center of the city’s urban core.
“With over 25,000 people attending opening night, this new park is already a destination for people from near and far,” says Civitas founding principal Mark Johnson. “For the first time in decades, the people of West Tampa will have access to the water, to boating and a myriad of new play in the park.”
Built in 1977 and once a neighborhood anchor, the original Riverfront Park had fallen into disuse and disrepair. Civitas and W undertook an intensive public outreach and stakeholder process with the West Tampa neighborhood beginning in 2014, soliciting community hopes and needs to shape the ultimate design. “We balanced neighborhood family use of the park on a daily basis with the city’s need for a boating and performance facility,” says Robin Norcross, Civitas Project Manager for the park redevelopment. “The playground, splash pad and ‘front porch’ located in the middle of the park create a central catalyst of family activity for the space.”

该项目由坦帕市政府负责运营工作，其中囊括了从赛艇到皮划艇再到龙舟等各种传统工艺运动，并且这些活动都适合社区居民的参与。“在最开始，项目中并没有公共船坞。”W建筑和景观设计工作室的负责人Barbara Wilks解释说，他主要负责项目的建筑设计，让公园的各个功能能够快速投入使用。“这座建筑的地点反映了政府人员希望促进西岸发展的愿景，并让这里成为具有吸引力的地标。”

The idea for a public boat house owned and operated by the City of Tampa and supporting a variety of human-powered crafts – from racing shells to kayaks to dragon boats – came out of the community engagement process. “There wasn’t a public boat house in the project when we started,” explains Barbara Wilks, principal of W Architecture and Landscape Architecture, who designed the structure, which quickly became integral to the park’s design and purpose. “The location of the building and the way it is situated reflects the mayor’s vision for bringing people to the west side of the river and fulfills his desire to have a landmark that draws your attention.”

建筑濒临河岸，上方悬挑大屋顶为建筑遮阳避雨，在这里，人们透过通高玻璃就可以欣赏到河流的全景视图。另外其中还设置有宽敞的门廊、下部船舶储存区域，以及租赁办公室，“而船坞就像公园中优美起伏曲线中的一个断点。”Wilks说。屋顶设置有雨水管理设施，将径流导入郁郁葱葱的雨水花园，通过景观和植物材料过滤，控制水的流向。

Consisting of a big roof for shade, an elevated upper floor out of the flood plain with floor-to-ceiling glass capturing panoramic river views, a broad porch and lower level boat storage and rental office, the boat house “acts like an exclamation point to the nice curve of the park’s promenade with the way the roof swoops up,” says Wilks. And the roof doubles as stormwater management, channeling runoff into a lush rain garden that filters it through landscape and plant material, controlling the water’s return to the river.

为了进一步促进邻里居民的加入，CIVITAS团队专为“学习者和桨手创造了安静的海湾”，Norcross说：“这个海湾与船坞既相关又独特。”这对工程合作团队Moffatt & Nichol来说也是个巨大的挑战。“这需要沿着河流的堤坝对其进行重新调整。”Norcross说，“我们甚至为此扩大了河流流域。”

To further promote neighborhood access and involvement with the river, the Civitas-led team devised the idea of “creating a quiet cove for learners and paddlers,” says Norcross, “a unique thing to find associated with a boat house.” Constructing the cove meant major challenges for marine engineering partner Moffatt & Nichol. “It required full realignment of the sea wall in the river,” says Norcross. “We actually expanded the river.”

社区通过公园内的公共艺术品表达了保护社区历史的愿望，其中包括由当地制造者和Pep Rally Inc合作而成的三维浮雕壁画，这些作品参考了该地区的历史信息。其他公共艺术作品包括Jovi Schnell的马赛克艺术品，Thomas Sayre在混凝土塔架上设计制作的“Ripple Gate”不锈钢网关螺旋，和Marc Fornes的“Form of Wonder”遮荫棚（将在2018年夏天安装）。

The community’s desire for preserving neighborhood history is present in the public art incorporated throughout the park, including a three-dimensional relief mural in the boat house by local team of fabricators and makers Pep Rally Inc that densely layers references to the area’s past. Other public art pieces include a mosaic by Jovi Schnell, Thomas Sayre’s monumental “Ripple Gate” stainless steel gateway spirals set atop concrete pylons, and Marc Fornes’ “Form of Wonder” shade canopy (to be installed mid-summer 2018).

坦帕市长Buckhorn参与正式剪彩活动，另外还有烟花表演和艺术团体Third Eye Blind的免费音乐会，滨河摇滚庆祝活动吸引了大批观众踊跃参与，同时也庆祝根植于西坦帕社区历史的公园得以复兴。“坦帕在市长Bob Buckhorn的领导下不断成长，”Civias设计团队的Johnson说，“他为这个迅速崛起的海湾城市创造了具有巨大欢乐和灵感的场所。”

Marked by an official ribbon-cutting by Mayor Buckhorn, fireworks and a free public concert by Third Eye Blind, the Riverfront Rock celebration drew crowds enthusiastic to embrace this one-of-a-kind destination waterfront park that celebrates its history rooted in the West Tampa community. “Tampa came together under the leadership of Mayor Bob Buckhorn,” says Civitas’ Johnson, “to create a place of great joy and inspiration for this rapidly rising city on the Bay.”

该项目的其他合作团队有Moffatt & Nichol、VoltAir Engineers、Arehna Engineering、Silman Structural Engineers、Evans Engineering、KVJ INC Public Relations and Event Consulting。来自坦帕市的项目团队成员则有城市建筑师James Jackson Jr.、城市项目建筑师Kevin Henika、公园和娱乐策划总监Paul Dial、公园和娱乐策划主管Brad Suder和公园和娱乐景观设计师项目经理Karla Price。
