Interpretive Zones

One of the high priority projects in the Washington Park Arboretum Master Plan is the implementation of an interpretive and wayfinding plan for the entire Arboretum. It will communicate to the visitor the mission and vision for the Park and the Arboretum. It will also describe major themes and educational messages, and identify methods of interpretive media. It will include a palette of construction materials along with a wayfinding sign system suitable for an Olmsted park and appropriate for the weather conditions of the Northwest. The plan will serve as a guide to the interpretation of all projects.

Wayfinding

Given the existing variety of sign types as evident in the Existing Sign Types photos, the team is beginning to brainstorm about a hierarchy of future signage & wayfinding types.
