Pool and Splash Pad

HWC was engaged to design an aquatic attraction to replace the dated splash pad adjacent to the existing public pool in Lawrenceburg. A unique pirate-themed attraction was developed with a ship play feature as a focal point. Soft foam tiles evoking island and water on a treasure map were used for splash pad surfacing. The concrete deck is painted with a compass rose, anchor, and red dots leading the way to the treasure chest.

Murphy Aquatic Park

HWC worked closely with Washington Township Parks and Recreation in Hendricks County to design a new regional park and aquatic center in Avon, Indiana. Currently, under construction, the initial phase of the project centers around a state-of-the-art aquatic center which will house a large wave pool, central sprayground, activity pool, and waterslides.  In addition to the aquatic center, the park will feature an inclusive playground with play berms, trails, recreation pond, wetland, restored habitat, and parking. A community center with an indoor recreation facility is planned for the second phase.

Courthouse Square

Because of the Stellar Communities designation, the City of Princeton was able to improve the streetscape around all four sides of the courthouse square in one project. The HWC design team selected lighting, hardscape materials, and site furnishings that would best compliment the historic courthouse and surrounding facades. Mini plazas with seating were developed within new bumpouts and the addition of street trees and landscaping provides a buffer between the pedestrian spaces and vehicular areas.

HWC was thrilled to collaborate with LA+D Architecture on the transformation of this existing pool site into an inclusive splash pad with playground amenities. To pay homage to the beloved community pool, limestone seat walls were developed to denote the boundaries of the original vessel. Other notable features include artificial turf mounds, a treehouse tower, swings, accessible we-go-round, and sensory panels. Blue poured-in-place surfacing and colored concrete create a wave ribbon that ties the playground and splashpad together.

Parkview Campus Redevelopment Plan

After completing the New Albany Housing Authority Master Plan, HWC was engaged to begin conceptual design of the Parkview campus which will be the first public housing property to be redeveloped. The goal of this project is to transform the previously distressed housing campus into a vibrant new neighborhood with mixed-income housing and quality of life amenities such as sports courts, playground, splash pad, community gardens, multi-use trails, and ample outdoor open space. By redeveloping outdated campuses into attractive new neighborhoods, residents are reconnected with the larger community of New Albany and afforded more opportunities and a higher quality of life.
