Bridgeview Park is a 1.9 hectare community park in Richmond Hill that had gone about 20 years without an update. The City of Richmond Hill retained thinc design in 2022 to lead its revitalization, from concept through construction.
The design grew out of public meetings and close work with City staff. It keeps and retrofits the park's existing entrance archway and shade structure, reworks the paths so every part of the park connects, and adds new metal and wood site furnishings and shade trees throughout.
New features include junior, senior and swing play areas, a splash pad with a sandblasted paving pattern set among jets and bubblers, a dog park on the sloped east end, and a large community garden. The park is now under construction, with thinc design as contract administrator.
