Brackenridge Park Conservancy funded this Cultural Landscape Report to provide a holistic understanding of the entire landscape from ecological and cultural perspectives. As a long-term management and treatment document, the CLR:
provides analysis of broad historical and contemporary contexts relevant to Brackenridge Park’s development and present circumstances;
documents Brackenridge Park’s history;
evaluates the health of the park’s biotic systems;
defines the cultural significance of the landscape;
evaluates the physical and visible integrity of the landscape;
is the principal treatment document for the preservation of this cultural landscape; and
is the primary tool for the site’s long-term management.
