Hollis was a member of the design team for the park along with Hargreaves Associates and the local landscape architecture firm of Lango Hansen. The City’s Percent for Art Program is administered by the Regional Arts & Culture Council. Portland Parks & Recreation is overseeing the design and construction of Elizabeth Caruthers Park.
