Binns Park
Once known as the concrete jungle, this area of the city of Lancaster is now alive with warmth and activity. Beginning with the master planning process and seeing the project through construction, Derck & Edson helped to bring this now-beloved urban green space to life.
The Binns family played a key role in the design of the park and members are commemorated for their contributions. In addition, the Binns family was instrumental in the specification of the park’s landscape which includes special low-pollen, organically maintained plantings.
The design includes a central stage and park terrace; tree groves and expansive lawn areas north and south of the central stage-plaza area; a colorful garden and seating area; and walkways extending from a central water feature with flanking low seat walls ~ a favorite feature of young park visitors.
