The innovator in urbanism, landscape architecture and planning completes its third major stadium park design in Los Angeles with innovative water recycling and indoor-outdoor experiences.
The internationally recognized landscape architecture and urban design practice Studio-MLA has completed the landscape design for SoFi Stadium, the Super Bowl LVI venue and the first phase of a 300-acre sports and entertainment district called Hollywood Park. The development’s centrepiece and the new home of the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers, SoFi Stadium is wrapped by a series of engaging plazas and open spaces including Lake Park, a signature 12-acre green public space with a new, 6-acre lake for water retention and recycling.
Developers Kroenke Sports & Entertainment and Wilson Meany took a progressive approach to the expansive sports and entertainment destination by creating public open space through private development. The open area design — reflecting Studio-MLA’s integration of landscape architecture, urban design, and planning — allows this large-scale work to reinvest in the community of Inglewood, Calif., and provide connections into the existing urban fabric.
According to Denver-based Kroenke Sports & Entertainment: “This is the largest mixed-use development under construction in the Western US, with more than 25 acres of public parks and open space,” adding that is open year-round and accessible by all, creating a truly democratic experience.
