We’re proud to announce the completion of Browning Park, a sustainable green oasis linking city neighborhoods and minimizing carbon impact. This park transforms an industrial site into a vibrant social infrastructure with accessible spaces for all ages, including a skatepark, playground, fitness zones, and flower gardens. The project emphasizes recycled materials, and the iconic Browning factory is repurposed into a versatile hall topped with a wooden roof, fostering community activities in all weather. Browning Park blends landscape design with social action, creating a lasting and eco-friendly resource for the city.
