Working in collab-oration with artist Larry Kirkland, Landscape Architects at Walker-Macy created The Story Garden for Portland, OR's Waterfront Park. Puzzling through constraints and limitations, the design team created a two-dimensional maze with pathways of images and words.

This one-acre site consists of a 60-foot diameter circular maze; simply constructed of dark gray cobblestone and a Ryegrass turf mixture, the maze features 120 carved Carnelian Granite pieces inscribed with messages, images and quotations. Under the direction of Project Manager Mike Zilis, the landscape design team created a maze concept that combines play and art.
