The Town of Remington asked HWC to develop a splash pad in Remington Community Park. The splash pad was designed to accommodate three different amenity zones designated by age—a low intensity zone for toddlers and increasing levels of intensity for elementary school children. Larger features include a dump bucket and water cannon, which are geared towards older children and tweens. Visits to the park have increased from May through September since installing this aquatic amenity.

Park and Recreation Master Plan
HWC worked closely with the city, parks department, and a local steering committee to complete a Parks Master Plan for Charlestown. After reviewing input from over thirty stakeholder interviews and a public survey with excellent participation, recommendations were prioritized into four categories—connectivity, programming, projects, and policy. Adding one major facility to the parks system every five years was a principal goal of the plan, which the city is actively working to implement.
