LED lighting, interactive sensors, control system, etched steel, trees

A ring of trees and walkway surrounds the central lawn. As a person walks by an individual tree it changes color from white to green, then slowly fades back to white. Riding a bike around the park can quickly sequentially trigger the trees. As we move through the park, we affect the space around us and leave a temporary mark.

Also hidden around the park within the pavement are 5 metal medallions. When you step on these medallions it sets off a pre-programmed sequence of lighting events, making the trees dramatically change color, chase, simulate fire, sparkle etc. 4 medallions are programmed with consistent sequences, 1 is a wild card that randomly changes the lighting effects on the trees at every new activation.
