Description
This session will tell the story of Sandorf Park, which started out as a foundry dump in the early 1900’s but will become one of Indianapolis’ most progressive and contemporary neighborhood park spaces. Although the site has been a public park space since the 1970’s, the contamination was just recently discovered as part of a comprehensive park renovation. The presenters, which will include the project’s
Landscape Architect and representatives from both Indianapolis DPW and the Indianapolis Parks Foundation will explore the challenges and opportunities associated with remediating compromised urban sites to become safe, healthy, and activated public spaces.

Over the last decade, Ryan has helped lead the development of more than 15 parks-specific systems planning efforts for municipal and county governments across the United States, which together represent nearly $1B in future “public realm” investment.

As part of these efforts, Ryan has been afforded the privilege of working with distinguished management and research partners such as the Trust for Public Land, The Project for Public Spaces, and The National Park Service.
