PARK MASTER PLANNING
RWD Staff has been involved with over a hundred master plans for Regional/Community Parks and found through the years that our understanding of human behavior and performance of each facility has provided RWD with a great perspective on Master Planning and even a greater eye for detail. RWD can envision each park master plan through all the details that composed the whole, we have discovered how little details can save hours in maintenance time and we can quickly explore options and costs because of RWD’s deep experience and project data bank.
PLAY AREA DESIGN
RWD has designed and administered construction on preschool and K-12 play grounds, natural playscapes and climbing facilities. Our knowledge and experience in play facility design, Consumer Product Safety Commission requirements, play facility manufacturers, play facility surfaces and edging, climbing structures, and interactive play is of great value in planning a safe, affordable, and creative play environment. We are familiar with the National Public Playground Safety guidelines as well as ASTM Standards, IPEMA Standards, and Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Playground Equipment for Public Use.
WATER FEATURE DESIGN
The RWD Team has extensive experience with the design and implementation of water-related recreation facilities in parks, especially Spray / Splash Pads. RWD finished the design and construction administration of award-winning East Bay Public Park where we designed Confluence Creek. Flowing or dry, Confluence Creek is the centerpiece of the park and is the first interactive recreational water feature in the United States to be permitted using Reclaimed Water. Our water play designs are for people of all ages and abilities, providing inclusive sensory opportunities. We have recently completed a community park splash pad in Yelm that seems to be constantly filled with people, even on cloudy days!
