What is Rain Park?
Rain parks are a new way to design & install green infrastructure. They use as many best practices as possible to create habitat and manage stormwater within a single site. This way the benefits multiple and enhance each other. Rain parks transform green infrastructure from a purely functional apparatus into a community amenity.
