Camp Korey Hippodrome Terrace
The new terrace at the Hippodrome building is the central all-purpose gathering space and activities area for Camp Korey. On axis with the “Green” and gardens, the terrace form reflects and complements the traditional architectural style of the original Carnation Farm, providing hardscape surfacing for special events and Camp use. The terrace addition extends the usable outdoor space toward the ‘green’ and welcomes visitors to the various functions at the Hippodrome. Paving materials match the existing building entrance are cost effective and durable. ADA ramp improvements and Camp vehicular drop-off and access as well as landscape improvements were also incorporated into the terrace design.
