# Gas Works Park

A 19-acre public park on the site of a former coal gasification plant. Architect Richard Haag famously preserved the industrial structures, painting them and turning them into massive, climbable (and visually stunning) monuments. It is the gold standard for adaptive reuse of heavy industrial machinery.
