In honoring this unusual structure, the jury recognized that design excellence is just as significant for a small commission as it is for a major building. The driving range's location in a heavily used park made its positive impact on the landscape that much more important. "It really shows concern for the people in the park who don't use it," commented one juror. "It's just so playful and fun," added another. All the jurors considered it a very successful park folly in the English landscape tradition of small, whimsical buildings, yet it was executed in a structure and materials appropriate to Chicago. The nearly 400-foot-long multi-deck structure has a series of metal trellises that support climbing vines and flowering creepers to create a soft green screen. "The Park District is thrilled with the project's success — the number of users has increased dramatically — and with its cutting-edge design," according to Joe Horner, head of design and construction for the Chicago Park District.
