Olmsted Linear Park Wayfinding System

Wayfinding System, 2021


Overview
Olmsted Linear Park is a series of parks in the east of Atlanta. The park has more than one hundred years of history and takes its name from its designer, Frederick Law Olmsted. It consists of six parts: Springdale, Virgilee, Oak Grove, Shadyside, Dellwood, and Deepdene. This park not only has large grassy areas; it also has natural woodland. It is an excellent place for families and local residents to enjoy nature. This project aims to design a system that connects the six parks, improve the current signage's visibility and aesthetic.
