Water Sky Garden, Public art installation at Richmond Olympic Oval, Canada
Water Sky Garden features a 300-foot boardwalk, two pedestrian bridges, two net sculptures, and a fountain surrounding a wetland treatment pond.
The installation was completed in 2009 as part of the development of Richmond Olympic Oval, which hosted speed skating events during 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
The red cedar boardwalk design follows patterns of Dragon Dance movements, reflecting Richmond's Asian heritage as the city with highest immigrant ratio in Canada.
The pond system collects and purifies rainwater from the Oval's roof, which then circulates through fountains and provides irrigation for the surrounding landscape.
Two suspended net sculptures measuring 75 and 52 feet in diameter illuminate at night through submerged lights, creating patterns against the sky.
