“Symbols are incredibly important to us as a society, which is why we have conversations around art and monument. That’s one of the reasons [the park] is so needed,” said Erin Peavey, an architect, and researcher at HKS. “When we are able to create a place where physical activity is possible, where there are green trees and lush grass to help reduce the heat island effect and help filter the water and clean the air. All of those things are both physically, symbolically, and mentally healing.”
