Paradise Creek Eco-Park
Portsmouth, Virginia, 2006

The Elizabeth River Project (ERP) selected Michael Singer to work with Clough, Harbour & Associates on a master plan to support ERP's goal of creating a nature park on Paradise Creek, in partnership with the City of Portsmouth, Virginia. Paradise Creek is a tributary of the Elizabeth River and the 40 acre site will have over 10 acres of re-created tidal wetlands; restoring wetlands that were previously filled on site. The mission is to restore vital upland forests and wetlands while providing unique recreational opportunities for the community. The master plan and vision achieves a critical part of ERP's community-based watershed management plan for Paradise Creek. The project demonstrates state of the art green development strategies, environmental restoration, and provides interpretation to inspire environmental stewardship.
