The Alan E. Ribera collection consists primarily of project photographs and slides, arranged alphabetically within record type. These images depict Ribera's designs of various parks and recreational settings and their usage by the general public. Parks throughout California are represented, including Arcturus Park (Foster City, 1973), El Toro Community Park (Orange County), Fairfield Civic Center (Fairfield, 1971), Kennedy Plaza (San Pablo, 1969), Lincoln Square (Oakland), and Sunnyvale Community Center (Sunnyvale, 1973). A small file of promotional photographs and printed material is also included.
Background
Alan E. Ribera received his first BA from the University of California, Berkeley in Political Science and a second in Landscape Architecture. During his career, Ribera worked as director of Planning for the Parks and Recreational Public Works Division at the landscape architecture and planning firm of Cardoza-Dilallo Associates Inc. Ribera specialized in parks and recreational planning, including city-wide park systems and master planning, often working with associate John C. Sue. In addition to landscape and park design, Ribera began sculpting in 1964 and in subsequent years created numerous large-scale sculptural forms within his park designs.
