UHD BEAUTIFICATION & RECREATION
The conversion of the existing Retention Pond was redesigned to simultaneously serve as a seasonal field for soccer practice and an area of well being and beautification.
The Pedestal which stands as a landmark feature was based on the concept of a water well built with bricks surrounded by plants native to Texas and black pebbles mimicking riverbank pebbles.
