A public park and an expansive motorcycle amphitheater are on the docket for the UK architecture firm Heatherwick Studio as it embarks on a project to revamp Harley-Davidson's headquarters, marking the company's 120th anniversary. The park will be diverse in terms of plant life—it will contain "20 species of trees and 120 different plant species." The landscape will be developed in collaboration with Milwaukee-based HGA.
The park will be open to the public and the motorcycle amphitheater will be utilized for various events such as motorcycle rallies and concerts. During the day, it will make for a wonderful place where Harley-Davidson employees and visitors can hang out. In a way, this is a very creative way to build community and maintain the image of the brand.
