Lewis Avenue Corridor Public Park
Architect(s): SWA Group
Address: Lewis Ave. between Las Vegas Blvd. and 4th St.
Year: 2002
As part of a beautification effort by the City of Las Vegas, a three-block stretch of land downtown has been transformed into a public plaza linking the Lloyd D. George U.S. Courthouse to the Regional Justice Center. The $2.36 million project, intended to be a place for contemplation, features a waterfall, reflection pond, decorative streetlights, benches, over 600 trees and shrubs, and a bridge inscribed with poetry. This project won an award from the Nevada Chapter of the American Planning Institute.
