Our Project.

  • Design.

    Landscape Architect, Ladd Roberts of Landwise Design, is working with our committee, along with one of the City’s Landscape Architects and the Forestry Division to ensure all of the required specifications are met such as drawings, placement, wheelchair access, working around existing trees and new tree planting.

  • Fundraise.

    Our ultimate goal to complete this project is $294,530. With the help of donations, corporate sponsors, and engraved brick pavers we aim to reach this goal. All donations are tax-free as the Labyrinth is under the umbrella of Riverside Avondale Preservations’s 501(c)3 status.

  • Installation.

    The 40 feet Labyrinth will be made of stone and will be wheelchair compliant. It will be modeled after the famous 11 circuit Chartres Labyrinth which is the gold standard of labyrinths.

    The Labyrinth will be professionally installed under the guidance of Ladd Roberts, President and Landscape Architect at Landwise Design.

“A labyrinth is not a maze or a puzzle to be solved but a path of meaning to be experienced."
