Diversity Plaza

June 10, 2024

RKA was excited to celebrate the completion of the City of Walnut's Diversity Plaza – Creekside Park Improvement Project last week with a grand opening party and ribbon-cutting ceremony. The opening coincided perfectly with the start of summer, providing a new shaded canopy area and water splashpad-feature that immediately became the favorite of City representatives and local families, alike.

This highly collaborative community project incorporated City-furnished materials and required teamwork with various artists and designers to ensure the project would add to the long-standing heritage of the City of Walnut. Conservation and sustainability efforts were kept in mind with the inclusion of a water reclamation and treatment system.

The event was an especially meaningful moment for RKA Associate Engineer and project manager, Juan Salazar, who worked diligently on the project for two years and coincidentally welcomed his firstborn son just a few weeks prior. RKA congratulates everyone involved and thanks the City of Walnut for the opportunity to serve the community!
