[edit] Barthelemy Lafon
I have removed the text:
. (This parks design was inspired by Coliseum Square Park in New Orleans, Louisiana. Barthelemy Lafon, the land surveyor of New Orleans (ca. 1806) used bucolic urbanism to design the park. It, too, had canals and other areas for recreation. Unfortunately, only one canal ever came to fruition and was later covered up (but still remains). Lafon's idea was before his time; a half decade later was Nash's proposed park, Regent's Park.
I have yet to find any verification that the park's design was inspired by Lafon's work.Paul W 10:15, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
