End-to-End Services for Parks and Recreation Systems

A planning process tailored to your community

Our flexible framework for collecting on-the-ground data, perspectives, and needs leaves room to react to new information that may be uncovered throughout the process. Our planning process can adapt so that the final master plan accounts for the best information available.

A living document that guides future action

Our planners and designers work closely with our data collection and analysis experts to help clients base their goals on reliable data. The result is a plan that you will turn to again and again to make decisions and justify spending priorities.

Our Proven Process

After extensive fact-finding, analysis, and public engagement, we establish action items, priority projects, phasing, and funding for system development. Future actions are divided into short-, medium-, and long-term projects to act as a guide for implementation.

  • Research

    We collect and review any current inventories of parks and recreation facilities and programs, maps, and GIS data. We also conduct a comprehensive review of planning and policy documents.

  • Understanding

    Through a collaborative and inclusive engagement process, we assess and summarize the needs and priorities of the community.

  • Vision

    Based on our research and understanding, we develop statements that capture the community vision, goals, and objectives.

  • Implementation

    We develop specific recommendations, including projects, phasing, and funding strategies.
