As Chief Landscape Architect for the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, Ms. Landregan works with agency departments, federal and state agencies and to develop the agency's 85,000 acres into parks, trailheads, nature centers and overlooks. Ms. Landregan also represents the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, a sister agency with the MRCA, in matters needing a licensed landscape architect. She conducts public community consensus meetings as well as presents to boards and commissions as required by projects. As lead designer for the agency, Ms. Landregan prepares designs, construction documents, and oversees the quality and consistency of all projects. Ms. Landregan has worked with the many communities of Los Angeles County - from Elysian Park, South Central Los Angeles, East Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, Baldwin Hills, Cities of Compton, Glendale, Santa Clarita, San Fernando, Burbank, and Calabasas, among others - to create sustainable parks, exhibits and interpretive outdoor spaces. The Augustus F. Hawkins Natural Park, final design and construction observation by Ms. Landregan, was featured in Landscape Architecture Magazine, April 2002. This park is located in South Central Los Angeles and has won national and international attention for its community-involved design, craftsmanship and sustainability.

Ms. Landregan's current projects include a collaborative design with Mia Lehrer + Associates on the Vista Hermosa Park, a unique synergistic design that merges a natural park with the Central City High School No. 10 in Los Angeles. This park incorporates sustainable design features such as solar generated energy, pervious paving, green roofs and on-site cistern to recycle onsite water. She is working on the boards in partnership with the California State Parks on the West Mulholland Gateway Park. This park design incorporates state of the art sustainable designed features such as porous concrete, a composting toilet, streambed restoration and storm water management. Ms. Landregan and the community of Elysian Park are in the process of designing Marsh Street Park, a small riverfront community park along the Los Angeles River.
