Though the initial design sparked controversy due to its plan to demolish most of the existing Pershing Park, its updated redesign seeks to maintain more of the park than previously proposed. The park, designed by landscape architect M. Paul Friedberg and Oehme van Sweden, is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, according to the National Park Service (NPS). The updates in the redesign seek to balance the new memorial with the existing site.
