Corktown Common exemplifies the continuity and integration of nature and the man-made to create a memorable space. The variety of programs and unique, native plants combined with the built environment and the amazing topographic changes implemented create a new form of urban park that encourages and showcases the beauty of nature and the man-made. MMVA's use of nature and its controlled yet unaltered beauty with the man-made and modern built environment in a way that merges it into and throughout this park exemplifies what designing a successful and well utilized park should look like. Its success is not only defined by its frequent use by the public, but more so defined by its ability to attract people to it due to its integration of the known and the unknown, of the man-made built environment with nature.
