The project is the initial phase of a pedestrian communication and recreation system intended to tie St. Louis with East St. Louis on the underdeveloped eastern side of the Mississippi River. It embodies the idea of flow across the division created by the waterway, at the same time creating an attractive location on the neglected eastern bank. The pavilion and park are surrounded by reflecting pools and paths that connect them to a projected pedestrian bridge across the river and to the existing artificial geyser further east.
