2009年West 8的设计被迈阿密海滩委员会一致选定为林肯公园的获胜方案。公园是弗兰克盖里设计的新世界交响音乐厅（由音乐厅和温室组成）的一部分。林肯公园是一块小场地（1公顷多一点），坐落在南佛罗里达的华盛顿大道和17街之间。它试图被建造成为迈阿密海滩市的一个公园翻范本。
一般来说，这种大小的城市公园都被设计上较多的硬质铺地而鲜有植被。而林肯公园特殊的场地条件、文脉和功能要求产生了一个独特的绿色公园，而不是一个广场。这样的一个公园给人们带来亲密感、阴凉和柔软的质感，亦可以与世界级的新世界交响音乐厅相称。林肯公园体现出了迈阿密海滩的精神和活力，并可以满足大量的白天和夜晚的使用要求，在树荫里抑或星空下。

林肯公园有着一些独一无二的特征。首先，一些藤架环抱着公园的周边。这些藤架的形式受到佛罗里达热带气候所固有的膨胀积云的启发。手工打造的喷漆铝结构不仅提供了阴影，并且会是盛开藤蔓植物的花瓶，盛满了各种色彩。其次，高品质的艺术作品在这里也得到同等重要。紧邻交响乐厅的投影墙为影视艺术家提供了一个理想的“画布”，艺术界新兴的令人惊叹的视频艺术形式得以在此呈现。West 8已经在公园中设计了一个投影塔和“芭蕾棒”来承载这种多媒体设施。这些元素保持了一个连贯语言，通过公园里独特的建筑语汇，为当地和国际艺术家提供了众多可能性。艺术家可以在此提供千变万化的展览，而不必受限于传统的博物馆展览形式。
白色混凝土马赛克小路，和随便坐坐的白色混凝土座椅相结合，共同在视觉上强化了公园柔软且起伏的形态。这两个公园设计的关键措施让林肯公园看起来比它的实际面积要显大。疏密有间的棕榈树和其他树木的种植方式所创造出的或隐或显的景观，进一步加强绿洲一样的视觉经历，并使之显得更大。
In 2009 West 8’s winning design for Lincoln Park was unanimously chosen by the Miami Beach Commission. The park is part of the New World Symphony Campus of architect Frank Gehry, which includes a concert hall and a conservatory.
The Lincoln Park site is a small – slightly larger than 1 hectare in size – urban site located at Washington Avenue and 17th Street in South Florida that strives to establish a new precedent for parks in the City of Miami Beach.
While an urban park this size might often receive a design that has more hard surface than soft, Lincoln Park’s site-specific conditions, context and program elicited a unique response in a green park, not a plaza, that feels intimate, shady, and soft; a park that will support the world-class attraction of the New World Symphony Building. Lincoln Park reflects the spirit and vitality of Miami Beach and will support a multitude of day and night uses, either under the shade of the trees or a starlit sky.

Lincoln Park will also have the wonder of some totally unique features that are one of a kind. First, several pergolas embrace the park edges; their shape inspired by the puffy cumulous clouds inherent in South Florida’s tropical climate. The hand-fabricated painted aluminium structures not only provide shade but will support the spectacular blooms of bougainvillea vines; highlighting a threshold of colour at the parks points of entry. High quality artwork is equally important here, and the projection wall of the adjacent Symphony Hall building is an ideal ‘canvas’ for video projection artists – an emerging and exciting discipline within the art world. West 8 has designed a projection tower and ‘Ballet Bar’ to house the extensive multimedia equipment provided within the park. These elements provide a consistent language among the park’s unique architectural elements, providing a wide range number of possibilities for both local and international artists to present an ever-changing exhibit that would occur outside the confines of a traditional museum experience.
Soft, undulating topography is reinforced visually by a white concrete mosaic of meandering pathways, and white concrete seating walls that providing options for informal seating. These two critical elements of the park design allow Lincoln Park to convey the illusion of a park larger than its humble inherent size. ‘Veils’ of palm and specimen tree planting conceal and reveal views further reinforcing the experience of being within an oasis that is much larger.
