To ensure the continued viability of the Croton, the city's smallest and oldest water supply system, DEP is constructing a filtration plant beneath the driving range of the Mosholu Golf Course. The restored driving range, when completed, will be the largest continuous intensive green roof in North America.

The design also calls for a clubhouse facility; water features; and significant landscaping, utilizing native species and locally-sourced materials in order to replicate many habitats found throughout the Bronx.

The design is commensurate with the architectural legacy of the city's historic water supply infrastructure and guided by three core concepts: the creative and artistic integration of buildings into the landscape; a sustainable approach to building design and landscape that emphasizes best practices for storm water management and water reuse; and the enhancement surrounding landscape for recreation and educational purposes. The above-ground facilities are designed to achieve LEED Gold certification.
