Briercrest Park

Schmidt Design Group, Inc., in collaboration with James Hubbell and Drew Hubbell, designed this 4.2 acre whimsical park. The park, which is adjacent to the Grossmont Healthcare District Library and Conference Center, serves as a healing environment for those in need of reflection and nurturing. At the center of the park the landscape takes on sculptural form and leads people down to a small wetland environment. The park features a butterfly garden, an herb garden, a music garden, a labyrinth, picnic tables, benches, seatwalls, and mounded lawn areas. A large play area full of innovative and unique play equipment, like “park pets” and a stone climbing wall, provides for a sense of discovery and encourages exploration and creative play.
