Byxbee Park is a washed out, fuzzy daydream. Poles, chevrons, paths, grass, hillocks, built on top of an old landfill. That's all. It is an incredible example of the power of restraint in landscape. It is so rare, living anywhere near a city/suburb, that we are presented with intentional wide open space. Such a landscape enables thought, meditation, reflection. Very few places, in my opinion, do this as well as Byxbee. What a shame they had to put it in Palo Alto.
