WILLIE 'WOO WOO' WONG PLAYGROUND 

OWNER / SF REC & PARK

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT / CMG

LOCATION / SAN FRANCISCO, CA

UDCE is providing full site civil engineering for the renovation of Willie ‘Woo Woo’ Wong Park and Playground, one of Chinatown’s few, and therefore heavily-used, outdoor recreation areas. The existing park consists of three levels – an upper court, a middle playground, and a lower clubhouse, spaning 40 vertical feet of grade change. CMG’s design will better integrate the three levels with a series of bridges and sloped walkways, increasing the usable area for fitness and recreation. Chinatown’s cultural and historical legacy will be featured prominently throughout the playground. 

​

The plan was developed through a community engagement process that included public meetings, focus groups, and dialogues with community organizations and leaders. The proposed concept achieved resounding support from the community.
