The park was refurbished in 2010, with landscaping by Latz + Partner, which appointed Henry Krokatsis to create a public artwork in honour of Grimaldi and Charles Dibdin.
Peter Latz’s design was significant, as it attempted to preserve as much of the existing site as possible (Diedrich, 69).

Peter Latz gained his first important experiences in dealing with derelict industrial sites in 1985, when designing the "Harbour Island", a public park on a destroyed harbour site in Saarbrücken (Weilacher, 82).
•
It was designed in 1991 by Latz + Partner (Peter Latz), with the intention that it work to heal and understand the industrial past, rather than trying to reject it.
•
Peter Latz, takes these ideas and pushes them further as he uses materials on the site to show their transient nature as they change and decompose, transforming into something else.
Because of this project Peter Latz, besides the American landscape architect Richard Haag, is considered to be one of the international pioneers for the reclamation and conversion of former industrialized landscapes.

Memory has re-emerged as an important aspect of design, and has been addressed by authors such as Sebastien Marot, Frances Yates, Robert Smithson, and Peter Latz himself.
