Design goals:

• Design shall be intended for use of the reflection area by local community individuals or small groups of people, and not as a space for special events or as a regional attraction.

• Reflection Area design will serve as a compliment to the many other Veterans monuments within the community which offer tribute to individual service members, and will not duplicate or compete with their purposes.

• Design shall serve as a positive compliment to other park uses, and will not restrict other users of the park in any way. Design will serve as an appropriate backdrop for park special events taking place in the adjoining special events grass area.

• Design shall blend naturally with the remainder of Central Park, using the approved Master Plan design palettes, materials and standards. Care shall be taken to protect existing landscaping and improvements.

• Design will allow for daytime and evening visits to the space from dawn until 10 p.m. daily.
