BlueGreen is working with the Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority to design and build Caballero Creek Confluence Park, located at the confluence of the Los Angeles River and Caballero Creek.  A primary goal is to provide natural habitat for birds and wildlife and make it available for the enjoyment, interpretation, and education of visitors. The park will be a San Fernando Valley destination along the L.A. River Greenway, and feature an entry plaza, outdoor classroom and interpretive programming designed to engage local High School science programs. The park will feature a colorful palette of native and drought tolerant plants.

This park will be a “net-zero energy and water” park for the City of Los Angeles. The project is designed to capture stormwater from streets and harvest nuisance water from a flood control channel to provide all irrigation water needed for the park. A constructed wetland and adjacent bioswale store water that is recirculated using a filtration and pumping system powered by a grid-tied solar system. The design was supported by a complex hydrology model that was used to determine feasibility and size park components to supply adequate water year-round.
