Station Park is a pocket park in Freeville, New York dedicated to the village’s history as a major railroad hub at the beginning of the twentieth century. The park includes a functional bus shelter modeled after the old train station that stood from 1910-1940, railroad tracks, and nine interpretive panels that I designed working closely with the mayor.
