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 provide survey services for 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.

Main Street Streetscape

HWC has provided survey, design, coordination, and construction inspection services for four phases of streetscape along Main Street in downtown Lafayette. Goals of the project were to maximize pedestrian space and allow locations for outdoor dining and public art by introducing bumpouts. Project components include new sidewalk, special paving, street trees, stormwater planters, and installation of decorative bike racks, benches, and trash receptacles. Custom decorative crosswalk surface systems and decals were designed for the farmer’s market and other intersection treatments.

Murphy Aquatic Park

HWC’s Landscape Architecture group and Survey team worked closely with the Washington Township Parks and Recreation to design the regional Murphy Aquatic Park in Avon, Indiana. The park is the largest capital project for the Washington Township Parks Department and solidified the park’s position as a regional destination in central Indiana.

It includes a state-of-the-art aquatic facility with a wave pool, activity pool with an inclusive play feature and slide tower, cabanas and shade structures, concessions, and a pool house. In addition to the aquatic facility, the park features wooded and natural areas with trails, fishing pond, sled hill, and inclusive playground.   

This project won the Merit Award for Constructed Works over $2 million from the Indiana Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (INASLA) in 2023. This award recognizes outstanding projects completed by organizations in Indiana to raise standards of excellence and heighten public appreciation of quality landscape architecture.  

Monumental Merit Award Recipient

Crawfordsville, IN

Pike Place 

After several buildings were demolished along a main downtown corridor, the City of Crawfordsville decided to transform the gravel lot into a central gathering space. HWC teamed with KJG Architects to complete the survey, design, and construction documents. Components of the park include a stage, custom public restroom building, event lawn, custom brick pillars with metal farmers market gates, site furnishings, landscaping, and decorative site lighting. Now consistently programmed, the space has become a central hub for community activities.
