<br />Parks & Recreation Projects
<br />We have experience with many parks, greenways,
<br />shared -use trails, and irrigation projects involving
<br />planning; design; and final plans, specifications, and
<br />estimates. Kimley-Horn has designed both passive parks
<br />and recreational parks, ranging in size from a 20,000+
<br />acre park master plan to neighborhood amenity pocket
<br />parks. Our landscape architecture team offers expertise
<br />in open space design, recreational planning and design,
<br />feasibility studies, master planning, streetscape design,
<br />multi- and shared -use paths, hardscape design, and site
<br />planning. Kimley-Horn's landscape architects emphasize
<br />the development of a functional, pleasing visual
<br />environment, meaningful themes, and strong connection
<br />to environment while being sensitive to budget and long-term maintenance.
<br />Design Expertise
<br />Today's landscape designs must solve a host of complex Low Impact Design (LID) issues including water
<br />conservation and stormwater capture, heat island effect mitigation, and ecosystem services while still
<br />creating places for residents and visitors to exercise, play, and picnic. Kimley-Horn has an integrated
<br />team of professionals that cover a vast array of disciplines necessary to create a successful modern open
<br />space design. Each of our team members work together to support the City's vision and multi -faceted
<br />goals for open space. Kimley-Horn brings the necessary resources for the City to design and build
<br />healthy, sustainable, and fun open spaces that are also historically and contextually appropriate.
<br />Master Planning and Concept Development
<br />We understand that master planning/concept
<br />development is a comprehensive process that
<br />examines the needs and growth of a community or
<br />organization driven by development programs, user and/
<br />or patron lifestyles, comprehensive mobility solutions,
<br />sustainability, energy efficiency, recreation, open
<br />space, human wellness, operations, maintenance, and
<br />financial sustainability. Kimley-Horn has experience
<br />in creating master plans that identify short- and long-
<br />term strategies that establish a vision for the future of
<br />development grounded in realistic goals. In addition, our
<br />urban design professionals have extensive experience in downtown redevelopment and streetscaping
<br />projects involving detailed work in lighting systems, banners, special paving, landscaping, integration of
<br />vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and site amenities such as street furniture, recreation facilities, fountains,
<br />and site graphics. Kimley-Horn's urban design team understands that an important aspect of competent
<br />streetscape design is meeting the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Crime
<br />Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). We are on the forefront of finding creative design
<br />solutions to regulatory restrictions. We strive to provide a safe and accessible streetscape that provides
<br />a pleasant experience for all individuals. In addition, we support the active participation of client staff,
<br />special interest groups, and the general public in finding an optimum design solution. Kimley-Horn
<br />recognizes the importance of a comprehensive public involvement program. It serves to heighten local
<br />awareness and success of each project by accurately defining the needs of each user group.
