Walk of the Cosmos Borrego Springs

“Playing off the celestial skies was tremendous inspiration for the entire library and park site,” said architect Ralph Roesling. “The Galaxy Court, Cosmos Way and Polaris Plaza educate with concrete markers indicating the planets’ relationships to earth and sun. Everything about the site has been thought through, with respect to recreation, dark skies astronomy, discovery, and places for imagination.”
