Kathy Steele Park

The City of Crawfordsville engaged HWC to reimagine a neighborhood park. New playground equipment, a basketball court, and central shade structure were the main design components along with decorative fencing and grassy berms used to define the edges of the site. A large, mature, existing tree was preserved, and several new trees were installed to create a future shade canopy. Because of the project’s success, the city has planned several more neighborhood park renovations throughout the community.

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.
