heritage square park

The City of Walla Walla worked with HEWITT to develop a new concept for Heritage Square Park, transforming an underused downtown park into an accessible, multifunctional urban plaza that would accommodate year-round programming and civic celebrations.

Providing a strong connection to Mill Creek, the park aspires to be a place visitors and the community go out of their way to walk through.
