Cadwalader Park was designed in 1891 by Frederick Law Olmsted and is a National
Historic Register park. Having suffered through several decades of decline
due to funding cutbacks and changes in use, Cadwalader is currently undergoing
a restoration effort. The design team is developing a Master Planting Plan
that will adapt the original design intent of the 1891 Olmsted plan to current
needs and conditions. The team, led by March Associates, will accomplish
its intentions by focusing on restoring long vistas, shaping spaces with
plants, and creating moods in the landscape (exploiting the “narrative
power” of the landscape, as Olmsted described it). One of the primary
strategies that we are employing is one of carefully editing mature plants,
based on assessments by arborists Paul Cowie & Associates.
