Muncie, IN
Kitselman Trail and Trailhead Park
The Kitselman Trailhead is a complex, multi-phased project that will connect the Cardinal Greenway Trail with the White River Trail while providing a gateway park for Muncie’s east side. HWC had the opportunity to collaborate with Flatland Resources and Land Collective on this project. Two phases have been constructed—a pedestrian bridge and the east side of the trailhead park–and the third is currently under design. This project was funded by INDOT and the City of Muncie.

Remington, IN
Community Park Trail
HWC worked closely with the Town of Remington to secure a grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Land and Water Conservation Fund to develop a trail system within New Park. Main goals of the project were to create a one-mile long walking and biking trail to connect all areas of the park, including their popular splashpad. A small footbridge and trail node with bike racks and a bike repair station were also included.

Seymour, IN
Steinker Platz
Funded partially by a tourism grant, this pocket park has become a favorite spot for frisbee in the summertime and a programmed event space during the annual Oktoberfest in the fall. HWC worked closely with the city to transform this existing gravel lot into an active urban pocket park. Special features included a copper trellis and dedication plaque, a stone engraved entrance sign, ornamental railings, and a wood trellis feature with evergreen trees as the main backdrop.
