How can a single site serve as library, gym, stage, park, clinic, and town square—all at once?

Mustang Park answers this question by stitching together a civic ecosystem for Fresno, one of Texas’s fastest-growing communities.

Set within a 15-acre site, the new campus brings together a digital library, aquatic center, multi-purpose gymnasium, event lawn, outdoor sports fields, and a network of shaded gathering zones. At its core: a central courtyard that doesn’t just connect buildings—but people, programs, and possibilities.

Rather than treat recreation, culture, health, and governance as separate destinations, the campus blends them into a continuous landscape of access and engagement. Shaded canopies stretch like tree limbs across the site, collecting rainwater and daylight while offering shelter and a canvas for murals and public art.

The buildings open and close in response to their surroundings—framing gardens, catching breezes, and creating porosity between indoor and outdoor life. Mature trees are preserved and celebrated, giving shape to courtyards and anchoring the project in its Texan roots.

Existing municipal structures are reimagined as part of a larger civic choreography—maximizing sustainability, minimizing waste, and investing in what’s already here.

Mustang Park is not just a community center. It’s a platform for life to unfold—where wellness, education, culture, and play intersect in the daily rhythm of Fresno.
