Role: Sub-consultant to AHBE landscape architects
In Development

Griffith Park is the largest municipal park in the United States, offering 4,210 acres of natural terrain and landscaped parkland. It is home to the world-class Observatory, as well as the Autry National Center, Greek Theatre, Roosevelt Golf Course, Travel Town, equestrian center, and over 50 miles of equestrian and hiking trails.

A large portion of the land remains unchanged from the days Native Americans occupied its lower slopes, and these rugged hills are frequented by a variety of outdoor enthusiasts. To ensure their safety, the Los Angeles Department of Parks initiated a trail improvement program consisting of landscape enhancements and a new sign program. As the signage designer, SKA developed a prototype wayfinding system complete with trail name signs, mile markers, directional signing and orientation maps. Several concept were proposed; many of which incorporate pre-cast concrete bollards, durable porcelain enamel panels, natural wood elements, and fossil graphics.
