公园承载着解决周围社区亟待解决的停车问题，所以大面积的地下停车场既是机遇也是挑战。

设计不仅响应了休斯顿的酷热天气。静水池靠近舞台，白天一层薄薄的水为主要广场区域降温，在晚上则成为点缀性的艺术元素。

The design of the park not only responds to the scorching weather in Houston. The still pool is close to the stage, and a thin layer of water cools the main square area during the day, and becomes an ornamental Elements of art at night.

公园设计的主要特征是“河口”的整合，这是一个人工建造的水道和滞留系统，它模仿了休斯顿的天然河口、沼泽、洼地硬木森林和湿地。

The main feature of park design is the integration of the estuary, which is an artificially constructed waterway and detention system that mimics Houstons natural estuaries, swamps, lowland hardwood forests, and wetlands.

雨水被收集并储存在一个7万加仑的地下蓄水池中。水用于灌溉植物材料或作为再循环的Midtown Bayou的补充水。

Rainwater is collected and stored in a 70000 gallon underground reservoir. Water is used for irrigating plant materials or as a supplement to recycled Midtown Bayou water.

在飓风等极端降雨事件期间，河口可以吸收和滞留雨水，防止当地发生洪水和财产损失。

During extreme rainfall events such as Hurricane Harvey, estuaries can absorb and retain rainwater, preventing local flooding and property damage.
