Abstract: Planners and designers are interested in projects that express spatial ideas and have meaning for the general population. The design of peace gardens and peace parks is one type of place where designers have opportunities to express ideas and connect with the public. We examined two peace related environments: the Dalian World Peace Park in China and the International Peace Garden on the border between the United States of America and Canada. Both parks attempt to symbolize peace in a conceptual manner. Both parks are located on sites of historical significance. Because of their somewhat remote locations, they can both suffer visitation problems. However their remote location also makes both parks unique and not as crowded as other parks. The peace park movement is growing as numerous other peace parks are being planned around the world.
