The Artificial

The nicest way to do cross I-5 is Freeway Park , which sits atop the highway and uses waterfalls and trees to conceal the traffic noise. Don’t plan on it being easy to find your way through, though.

A Brutalist fountain is one of the many highlights one can find in this cool urban maze that floats like a fortress of nature and concrete above Interstate 5.

Jacob Ford

If brutalism is your architectural jam , you really need to gallivant around here and find some secret passageways.

Lingo Slinger

Delightful by day. But you have to love right angles, stairs, and concrete . A setting in the urban fantasy novel HELLEPHANT!

Martina

Un parque muy especial construido al lado de la autopista. Tiene varios niveles para pasar por debajo de la misma. La zona de caídas de agua y la plaza son mis lugares favoritos
