To revive a 28-acre park adjacent to downtown Miami along Biscayne Bay, Noguchi first appealed to the local government to have a waterfront library removed to open up sightlines. As the park is primarily green space populated with old-growth palm trees, Noguchi made use of arcing pathways and sculptural features as a means of organizing an ambulatory space. Features include an open-air amphitheater on the north side of the park; another of Noguchi’s programmed fountains, the Claude Pepper Fountain; a cylinder tower with light displays; and, after the 1986 Challenger tragedy, the Challenger Memorial, a towering abstraction emulating flight and composed by struts in tetrahedron forms. Noguchi passed away during the park’s construction but his long-time collaborator Shoji Sadao oversaw his plans and made adjustments to the plan as the surrounding skyline expanded. Sadao also oversaw the installation of Noguchi’s white marble Slide Mantra, a centerpiece of Noguchi’s 1986 Venice Biennale installation.
