A destination gathering space for a new downtown
Heritage Park is set to become a vibrant, 1.4-acre destination in the heart of San Ramon—complete with a tree-lined promenade, picnic grove, gardens, and an expansive lawn for gathering and play. It’s the first of 50 planned acres of parks and open space designed to create a more walkable, connected East Bay community.
Heritage Park is a tribute to the vision, creativity, and dedication of San Ramon’s past and present leaders—elected officials, appointed representatives and city staff—who have helped lay the foundation for what San Ramon's downtown is becoming: a vibrant, walkable destination connected by trails, parks and community spaces.

wood salvage + reuse
Working with Bay Area Redwood, we were able create custom wood elements from locally recycled and reclaimed wood.
The reclaimed Deodar Cedar utilized for the picnic tables, benches, wood caps at concrete site walls, and movable furnishings was harvested directly from the Bishop Ranch campus, 0.75 miles away. Milling and fabrication took place 14 miles from the site, significantly reducing embodied carbon when compared to alternative sources.
The wood platforms feature large reclaimed Canary Island Pine and Oak logs harvested locally in the Bay Area. Varying widths of thermally modified wood serve as the decking surface.
