PLANNING

Rocky Point Park and Old Orchard Park Master Plans

Port Moody, BC, 2024

This master plan process for two signature parks along Port Moody’s waterfront was a significant step for the City in ensuring it’s parks can be made resilient to the pressures of increased use, competing uses, and sea level rise due to climate change. We became familiar with the community of Port Moody through the multi year process, coming to understand their love of these parks and aspirations for the livability of their city. In a small municipality with a waterfront park which had become a regional destination, it was clear that the success of Rocky Point Park was critical to meet these aspirations. The landscape architect led a team of consulting engineers, arborists and engagement specialists in order to provide the plan with the technical review required to make it feasible.

Burrard Slopes Park Masterplan

Vancouver, BC, 2026

This important project brings new park land to the Fairview neighbourhood of Vancouver at the terminus of the Arbutus Corridor greenway. The project included extensive public engagement as well as working with many different departments at the city. Competing demands on parkspace, practical operations requirements and public input were all understood in order to create a final preferred concept which aims to provide a new park which responds to the city’s needs.

Hapa/SOFT SCAPE led a team of subconsultants including stormwater engineers, skate park designer, geotechincal engineer, active transportation designer, and quantity surveyor in order to produce a concept plan which is backed by technical knowledge.

With KWL, New Line Skateparks, Geoedge, Steer, and LEC.

With Hapa Collaborative. Sarah was the principal in charge for this project while at Hapa Collaborative, and finalized the design work as SOFT SCAPE.
