50 Landscape Architect and Specifier News Top the placement of the low concrete walls and steps in the plaza recall the orientation of the former Lake tohopekaliga shipping docks. this location was a transportation hub for central Florida, and a jumping off point to the Everglades. steamships passed through carrying goods, cattle and ferrying people. Bega 18-watt compact fluorescent recessed wall lights make the steps safe to navigate at night. two large live oaks and a large picnic shelter are across the way. Bottom the old pier was dilapidated and closed to public access. the new pier, called "ruby," was rebuilt with a gangway that leads to a floating dock for direct lake access for small boats. Park visitors now have the opportunity to be over the water and in the shade. the pier, like the promenade, is lit by the color changing 30-watt LEds, with 70-watt metal halides for the top specialty light columns. the picnic pavilion has beam-mounted Elliptipar ceramic 70-watt metal halide wash lights. the pier has stainless steel cable railings for safety.
