New York Hall of Science
Rocket Park
Queens, New York

The New York Hall of Science’s Rocket Park Miniature Golf Course uses  play and whimsy to teach visitors about space exploration and rocket science. Located adjacent to the Hall’s iconic rocket display, the course combines a colorful and creative layout with lush plantings.

Drainage and storm water management was improved on site by incorporating bio-retention swales planted with native plant material, amending existing soil on site to increase permeability and the installation of Vitriturf, a porous poured-in-place safety surface on a compacted stone base. 

Rocket Park’s ultimate success lies in its ability to bring student centered, education based science exploration out of the classroom and into the landscape.
