New York Hall of Science 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 through the incorporation of 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. The 1960’s inspired shapes and dynamic color patterns further enhanced the landscape components of this intergalactic experience. Working closely with the architect and golf course designer our firm has embraced the goal of the design to become a fun, educational and sustainable amenity for New York City. 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.
