Franklin Park: Overlook Shelter Programming and Design Study

The Franklin Park Action Plan (FPAP) identified several culturally-significant, site-defining features in need of rehabilitation and reuse, including the ruins of the former Overlook Shelter. This area has the potential to function as a hallmark gathering and performance space for park programs, including the Elma Lewis Playhouse. Guided by the Franklin Park Action Plan’s recommendations, the design team shall explore design options that activate the space, preserve and restore (as appropriate) the significant masonry elements, and support public use with a focus on performances.
