What are those gorgeous acid green leaves: Yesterday I sat in amazement in the new park not far from my hom

» Sonni - Yesterday I sat in amazement in the new park not far from my hom

Yesterday I sat in amazement in the new park not far from my home - in lower Manhattan, alongside the Husdon River. The person who designed this park did his or her homework very well -- and all kinds of gorgeous colors are juxtaposed together in very different schemes.
One of the amazing plants was something I have never seen before -- and not sure if it's considered a shade plant or not - annual or perrenial.

It creeps like a vine in all directions -- spilling over and under benches -- it has very large almost oak like acid green (light) leaves, but I didn't notice any tendrils. But I assume it was a vine by the way it traveled the floor. I keep looking online to find a picture of it to identify it but can't so far.

It looked so wonderful next to purple coleus, hydrandea Quercifolio and a shrub like I think might be called a Chinoki Cypress (???).... a conifer with yellow needles that look like sparklers going off.

This garden inspired me so much as I continue trial and error on my terrace (31 flights up)....

I was also inspired by the pictures of Marge's garden just posted.

Can anyone help with any suggestions? I don't care if you are wrong - - anything will help.... or know where I can go browse by description?

Thanks a million and happy Fall!
