PUENTE HILLS LANDFILL PARK MASTER PLAN
From trash to treasure: a plan that transforms America's second largest landfill
into the next regional park.
The creation of the County’s newest regional park is facing unparalleled opportunities and challenges. Withers & Sandgren managed the design team for a 1-1/2 year master plan and EIR process to envision a new life for this imposing 500 foot-tall mountain made of 130 million tons of waste. An unprecedented community outreach process informed the visionary plan. The park design balanced community desires, changing recreational trends, on-going management of landfill operations, and preservation of a critical wildlife corridor in the Puente-Chino Hills.
