The award "celebrates and promotes vibrant, successful urban open spaces by annually recognizing and rewarding an outstanding example of a public destination that has enriched and revitalized its surrounding community," according to the award's website.

Citygarden was selected over four other finalists split between two cities - Portland, Ore. with Director Park and Jamison Square and Houston, with Discovery Green and Raymond and Susan Brochstein Pavilion

Citygarden was a joint entry into the competition from the City of St. Louis and the Gateway Foundation.
