The City of Glendale recently celebrated the opening of Bonsall Park 🌿

With a goal to restore a more family-friendly atmosphere, the City partnered with J2 to reimagine the space. Our team provided master planning, landscape architecture, irrigation design, and construction documents to help bring new life to the park.

Pictured here: the transformation from before to after ✨

Did you know J2 has a Tucson office? 🌵

In March 2025, Wheat Design Group and J2 Design joined forces—bringing J2’s presence to Tucson and growing a team deeply rooted in the local community.

Our staff live, play, and find inspiration in the same spaces they help design, shaping meaningful landscape architecture projects throughout the area. 🚲

From concept to community centerpiece 🌿

Following the drainage study, J2 partnered with the Town of Queen Creek to construct a 90-acre community park—leading master planning, design, and construction on a tight timeline to bring Frontier Family Park to life as a space where the community can gather, play, and connect.

Since opening in June 2024, the park has earned the Grand Award and Best Project Under $2.5 Million Award and has been featured in LASN.

Take a look at the finished space—we’re proud to have helped shape something so impactful 💚
