Design & Project Management
Designing, building, and managing the future of Providence’s parks.
About Design & Project Management
Our Design & Project Management team brings together landscape architects, landscape designers, project specialists, and a graphic designer who plan, design, and deliver the improvements that shape Providence’s parks, playgrounds, public spaces, and amenities. From concept through construction, the team manages projects in-house – creating thoughtful, accessible, and innovative spaces while overseeing the details, coordination, and implementation that turn ideas into places for the community.
