Landmark Design headed a team of artists (including Day Christensenand Bonnie Susec), architects and engineers in the development of a linear park, one hundred feet wide and four blocks long, located in the center of 500 West Street. The park is part of the Gateway District in west downtown Salt Lake City.  The first phase of the project stretches from North Temple to 200 South Street, and includes stone markers celebrating the unique cultural, ethnic, historic, and natural features of the Gateway District, an interactive water feature as a reminder of City Creek that once flowed through the area, a children’s garden with unique sculptures and play opportunities, landscaped seating and gathering areas, light sculptures as signature elements at each end of the park, and long pedestrian walkways lined with trees.

The second phase stretches from 200 South to 400 South Street, west of the Rio Grande rail depot. The design here includes stone poems that celebrate the history of the area, a variety of mid-street seating and gathering areas, light sculptures, decorative grass gardens, and pedestrian allees. The focus is on drought-tolerant landscape design and planting techniques, which are translated into a connected series of water conserving demonstration gardens.

In the course of developing the park concept, Landmark Design met with several special interest groups and stakeholders in the area including the Japanese Buddhist Church, Traveler’s Aid and the Salt Lake City Homeless Shelter, Boyer Company (developer of the first retail and office space), Salt Lake City Arts Council, Utah Arts Festival, Utah State History, ArtSpace Inc. and others. The input of these players served to inform the design team about various issues and desires relating to the site, and resulted in a truly "neighborhood-based" design.
