Historic Fourth Ward Park was also recently Awarded Project of Year at the 2013 Urban Land Institute Awards of Excellence.

The second Phase of the project was designed by WPi and links the Phase 1 Stormwater feature to outdoor "rooms" for passive and active recreation.

Historic Fourth Ward Park was recently featured as September's Frontline Park on City Park Blog. 

Each month the site "recognizes a “Frontline Park” to promote and highlight inspiring examples of urban park excellence, innovation, and stewardship across the country. The program also seeks to highlight examples of the challenges facing our cities’ parks as a result of shrinking municipal budgets, land use pressures, and urban neighborhood decay."  Noted on City Park Blog.
