The formal parks of Greenwich require professional planning that is considerate of the park's historic "reason for being" and their original design and intent. The report and management plan recommendations will be responsive to the ideals and philosophy of the Department of Parks & Recreation goals and will also be responsive to the expectations and needs of the Park's constituency.

Martha Lyon, a licensed landscape architect specializing in the planning, preservation and design of historic landscapes, has prepared the Historic Cultural Landscape Reports for Greenwich's four major "formal parks." This final product will be used to guide the future maintenance, restoration, and/or rehabilitation of these parks being mindful of their original intent while striving to provide up to date facilities for the use and enjoyment of the parks.
