Each year one project is awarded The Landmark Award, recognizing a distinguished landscape architecture project built within the past 50 years that reflects design excellence and an outstanding contribution to the public realm. The 2022 Awards Jury lauded the project as “a culturally and ecologically effective icon. A city-defining landscape amenity.”
While reintroducing and amplifying the natural and cultural features of the site, Crissy Field restored 40 acres of habitat consisting of 22 acres of vegetated dune and dune swale habitat and 18 acres of tidal marsh, allowing fresh and salt water to merge. A 1.5-mile promenade alongside an extensive protected coastal dune habitat unifies the site. And the Crissy Field Center supports a variety of education and outreach programs for youth throughout the Bay Area.
