Mays Park

HWC worked closely with the City and the Parks and Recreation team to develop Mays Park in Anderson, Indiana. The project was designed to help create a better quality of life the near west side of the City. Through public input, a new park was developed to pay homage to the existing park amenities while bringing in much needed facilities to the neighborhood. The new park bridges the gap between the north and south sides of the property by creating a safe pedestrian crossing at 10th Street. The new pedestrian crossing is the epicenter of the park’s revitalization that includes a splash pad, playground, restrooms, a shade structure, a walking trail, and a new parking lot on the north side, as well as a new tennis and pickleball court, restrooms, a shade structure, a revitalized skate park, and basketball courts on the south side.

City Park Pool and Splash Zone 

A community fixture for over 50 years, the completed renovations at the City Park Pool and Splash Zone will ensure this facility remains a key asset of the community for the foreseeable future. A park office, bathhouse, mechanical building, concessions, activity pool, current channel, waterwalk, water slide, and separate splash pad area with a toy structure were included in the project. Additionally, the splash pad can be operated independently of the pool to allow for an extended aquatic season even after the pool closes.

Brookville Pool

After completing a feasibility study, HWC led the Town of Brookville through design and construction documents for a new community pool at Brookville Town Park. A key component of this design was integrating lap swimming and other activities in a smaller footprint. The final design included a new activity pool with beach entry, a three-lane 25-yard lap pool, water slide with splash down area, new mechanical building, and a renovation of the existing bathhouse/concessions/admissions building.

Splash Pad

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.
