Parks & RecreationWe design parks and open space to accommodate team sports and group gatherings, quiet enjoyment, and children at play. Our experts are not only dedicated to park and athletic facility design, but also eco-system design, and environmental preservation. We recognize the challenge of balancing the needs of a diverse population with a wide range of interests and abilities, and the need to sustain vibrancy within our public spaces through all seasons.
Community outreach is an essential element in our work. By listening carefully and working collaboratively with our clients and the local communities we bring their vision to reality.

Whether it’s designing an urban pocket park, or developing a large rural area into an athletic complex, we make parks and recreation fit into the neighborhood fabric.
