The Civic Center Parks Project was a collaborative effort of the City of Santa Monica's Community & Cultural Services and Public Works Department. The City project team worked closed with the design/build team led by W.E. O'Neil Construction and James Corner Field Operations.
A group of mature trees from the future Palisades Garden Walk site have been moved to the sloped area between City Hall and the 10-Freeway. To prepare the slope, overgrown ivy has been removed revealing the terraced areas and brick retaining walls.
