Park and Recreation Master Plan
HWC completed a Park and Recreation Master Plan for the Town of Whitestown. The general purpose of the plan was to serve as a guide for decisions relating to the updating, improvement, and expansion of the parks and recreation department. Developing greenways to support walkability, providing natural and passive recreation facilities, providing staffing to support parks facilities, expanding youth sports, and developing a community center were a few system-wide goals that rose to the top during this planning process.

Park and Recreation Master Plan
HWC completed a Park and Recreation Master Plan for the City of New Albany. The planning process involved information gathering and data collection, a park facility tour, orchestrating a public survey, facility mapping, and operational analysis. HWC worked closely with the parks board and parks staff to develop recommendations. Additionally, HWC provided mini park plans which illustrated sketch level design concepts for potential new park facilities. HWC is thrilled to be working with the city to implement several park amenities originating from this plan including a large riverfront recreation area.

City of Winchester Gateway
The SR 32 and US 27 interchange evolved into a location for a community gateway as city development spread and traffic volumes increased. The HWC team designed a linear landscape along the corridor with three custom metal monument signs that are lit at night with solar power. Acting as a landmark along the corridor, the gateway now draws potential visitors off the highway toward Winchester’s downtown while simultaneously creating a sense of community pride for residents and local business owners.

Indiana State University River Campus Trail
HWC provided design, coordination, and construction administration for the River Campus Trail Project. This urban trail connects the Indiana State University campus to a growing area of campus along the Wabash riverfront, west of US Highway 41. The final design included a meandering trail to bring pedestrians safely under U.S. Highway 41 along an existing railroad corridor to the track and field stadium and along the top bank of the Wabash River. Custom engraved concrete planters serve as a safety barrier between vehicular traffic and the trail.

Muscatatuck Trail
As a part of the city’s Stellar Communities effort, HWC led the design and implementation of the Muscatatuck Trail, which connects the Muscatatuck County Park to downtown North Vernon with a multi-use trail. The trail begins in downtown North Vernon and extends south through several neighborhoods along a former railroad right-of-way before ultimately connecting to the Muscatatuck County Park. The county park has existing mountain biking and hiking trails, which serve as a natural connection to this multi-use trail.
