Public Beach — Sunrise Park, Lake Bluff , Illinois

Text Box: Portfolio

At one time, Sunrise Beach Park was highly erosional (photos to the right show the stages of project restoration).  Using coastal engineering and native vegetation, Shabica & Associates designed a low-impact shore protection system that included quarrystone breakwaters to form a bay beach.  This restoration effectively returned the beach to the people of Lake Bluff.  In 2004, Sunrise Park was named Top Restored Beach by the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association!
