Parks, Trails, and Recreational Facility Design Projects
Parks
We create engaging and diverse park environments that serve the unique needs of each community. The parks, open spaces and trails we design feature creative and functional design aspects, sustainable environmental solutions, and thoughtful aesthetic treatments.
We emphasize innovative solutions that are technically sound as well as feasible to implement, operate, and maintain. From developing high-level design concepts to selecting the materials to fulfill the final details, we are committed to developing extraordinary public recreation facilities.
Trails
As a leader in providing multi-modal planning and design services to a wide range of clients, SRF is dedicated to developing trail, greenway, and urban multi-modal systems that encourage physical activity through safe bicycling and pedestrian movement.
Our landscape architects recognize that a captivating walking or riding experience can create community identity and enhance livability. Whether it is a local pedestrian master plan or regional trail design, community engagement and support is critical to the long-term success of multi-modal projects.
Recreational Facilities
Recreation facilities knit communities together, providing spaces for youth and adults to come together. SRF has specialized experience designing recreational facilities, including athletic fields, campground facilities, nature and interpretive play areas, splash pads, and multi-use parks.
We are committed to designing facilities that integrate the latest trends in amenities, conveniences, and function in order to meet both the needs of user groups and operations and maintenance staff.
Multi-Modal
Across the country, local and state agencies are striving to provide safe, practical access to streets for all: vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, freight, and transit. Many terms define this trend: Context Sensitive Design, Livable Communities, Complete Streets, and Community Based Street Design.
SRF has used these concepts to develop multimodal networks for many years. Our approach emphasizes connectivity within the transportation system. Through careful consideration of the project’s context, the user’s point of view, and the relationship to the existing and future system, SRF develops solutions that work for your community.
