The park was designed by the Jones and Jones architect landscaping company. The design integrates industrial building aspects with turn-of-the-century waterfront architecture. Buildings are spaced in series of both formal and informal landscapes, separated by strong features such as avenues of trees and open scenery towards the lake. Additionally, the design includes multiple levels and interviewing paths. The diversity of these features is meant to facilitate a wide range of land use for both small and large groups. Bridges over the water cascade through the 8 mile long path.

At the 1985 National Geographic Society award ceremony in Washington, D.C., the park won an award from the American Society of Landscape Architects. This award is given to works considered to be the finest in landscape architecture.
