<br />JOHN R. GIBBS
<br />John shares WRT’s deep commitment to environmentally rooted planning and design
<br />excellence. His work reflects his belief that open space infrastructure—whether at the
<br />scale of regional park systems, riverfronts, city parks, livable streets, or active plazas—is
<br />a crucial, integral part of creating quality urban environments. He is a practice leader in
<br />WRT’s Parks & Open Space and Community Design practices, where he advances commu-
<br />nity and ecological resiliency in all WRT projects. Community engagement is fundamental
<br />to all facets of his work and his outreach skills are valued by clients who seek positive out-
<br />comes rooted in productive public dialogue. John has planned and designed a number of
<br />parks, including Santa Monica Beach and Palisades Park Improvements in Santa Monica;
<br />Eastshore State Park and Lake Merritt Park in Oakland; Balboa Park Rose Garden in San
<br />Diego; Glen Canyon Park, Mariposa and Mission Creek Parks in San Francisco; Nevin Park
<br />in Richmond; and the Mariposa Creek Parkway in the Sierra Foothills of California. John’s
<br />Austin experience includes the award winning Our Parks Our Future: Long Range Plan for
<br />Parks.
