. . . H. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION " " Park Planning Approach: Every park should have a unique character that reflects the natural influence of the region and the social dynamics of its populace, the physical characteristics of the site and the cultural history of the community. A well-designed park endures use, is easily maintained, and accommodates social and environmental change. It should be a place where people can relax, have fun, and develop their physical skills, and where both the body and soul are nourished. In line with this philosophy, EDAWs approach to park planning and design involves a comprehensive process that leads the client through all project stages, from conceptual design to public participation to construction administration. We also assist them in developing funding strategies and park maintenance strategies. We help our clients develop a functional and responsive program to meet their current and future community needs. We do this by evaluating the existing facilities, the community's projected growth and preferences, and the client's economic and administrative realities. During the initial project stages we study the site and learn about the surrounding community to establish a clear direction for the project's development. We emphasize the assets of the site while minimizing its deficiencies, and, thus, interpret the site meaningfully and add new dimension to the landscape. EDAW brings to each project a multidisciplined staff of land planners, landscape architects, recreation planners, environmental planners, socioeconomists, and graphic designers. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that all aspects of design and operation are considered, are of the utmost quality, and are ecologically sound. We at EDAW enjoy park design because the rewards are tangible and long-lasting. We believe that successful parks add to the ecological well-being of the earth, enrich the lives of their users, and are enjoyed for generations to come. Many of our park designs have received local and national awards for excellence.
