City, Students To Dedicate Observation Deck
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark - The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and landscape architecture students will dedicate an observation deck in Bryce-Davis Park at 5:30 this evening. Eleven students roughed out their first sketches for the design/build project last spring, and spent last summer building the 400-square-foot deck. Equipped with built-in benches and an overhead shade structure, the fully accessible deck offers expansive views of the wetlands area at Bryce-Davis Park, which is located in northwest Fayetteville. This is the fifth design/build service project that landscape architecture students have completed under the direction of Assistant Professor Mark Boyer. The project was paid for by city funds approved by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
