45TH STREET PARK PLAZA

HIGHLAND, IN

As part of the continued efforts to beautify Highland and enhance neglected spaces, The Arsh Group was tasked with creating an attractive corner plaza on a site bisected by a major underground pipeline and two heavily-traveled roads. This plaza, completed in 2016, was made possible by the efforts of the residents and in large part to in-kind donations coordinated by the Highland Community Foundation. The Arsh Group worked with a local artist to create the centerpiece of the plaza, a 16 feet sculpture dedicated to the life of Ashley Ritz, who was killed at the intersection in 2003. Natural and native plantings, connected by a walking path, provide a unique setting for residents to gather, have a conversation, or just observe.
