VILLAGE OF WHITEHOUSE PARKS & RECREATION MASTER PLAN

The EDGE Group led the Village of Whitehouse through a Parks and Recreation Master Planning Project Relevance process that establishes an overall framework for parks and open spaces throughout the Village, ∙∙Master Planning while protecting and preserving valuable natural resources into the future. Key components of the ∙∙Connectivity plan included: Organization of an infrastructure and hierarchy of usage to existing parks and open spaces, Improved accessibility to parks and opens spaces to all users, Development of a network of walking and biking trails that connect village residents to destinations, encouraging pedestrian use and reducing dependence on vehicles. Additionally, the plan establish a unified image or “Branding” to the parks system, and a funding source.

WABASH-CANNONBALL TRAIL SOUTH FORK 2D, 2E & 2F Reference PDG prepared construction drawings for a 3.2 mile section of bike path along the South Fork of the Jordan Daugherty Wabash Cannonball Trail. This section is part of a proposed bike trail system within Lucas County that Village Administrator will total more than 20 miles long when completed.

The bike path is located along an abandoned railroad and runs through the Village of Whitehouse and western Lucas County. The path is a 12-foot wide asphalt concrete trail and includes all necessary railing and traffic control signing and marking. The project included the rehabilitation of an existing 86-foot long four-span railroad bridge, which involved widening the existing timber abutments, new timber deck and railing, and painting of the existing steel beam superstructure. The project was funded through ODOT and managed by the Lucas County Engineers Office as the Local Public Agency.

LAGRANGE COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN

The Village of LaGrange owns about 88 acres of undeveloped parkland with a natural Project Relevance waterway in the southwest corner of the Village. The Village engaged landscape architects ∙∙Municipal Rental from Poggemeyer Design Group, Inc. (PDG) to design a Master Plan for the development of a ∙∙Recreation Community Park. Several meetings were held where residents and Village officials participated ∙∙Youth Sport Use in defining the amenities desired and developing various concepts with the architects. The Master Plan designates about 90 percent of the property for athletic endeavors and preserves about 10 percent of the property for passive recreation pursuits in woodlands and around two existing ponds. The Village continues to work with PDG to attract resources to construct the park. The Village funded the construction of Phase I, which is 800 feet of roadway from the park entrance to the location of the first parking lot near the site for the community center. The community hopes to have the park fully constructed within the next several years. more... LaGrange Community Park

MASTER PLAN PDG helped Deerfield Township plan nearly 400 acres of land for present and future use. The added pressures of residential development and the commercial growth in Deerfield Township, located next to Cincinnati and The Kings Island Amusement Park, prompted the Township to creae a plan to ensure that green space and parks remain available for their residents. The open space and parks consist of 10 separate areas ranging in size from 3 to 70 acres. Site analysis was conducted of each area to determine the best use for recreational and preservation purposes. Long and short term goals were developed to provide an improvement schedule for the Township to implement as funds become available. Preliminary design concepts were estimated at approximately $7 million, which included various improvements throughout the parks.

Preliminary design concepts included various improvements throughout the parks such as:

∙∙Athletic fields ∙∙ Preservation areas ∙∙Water features ∙∙ Lookout areas ∙∙Hiking and bike trails ∙∙ Campgrounds ∙∙Picnic areas ∙∙ Overlook pavilion ∙∙Parking lots ∙∙ Pedestrian bridges ∙∙Park entry areas ∙∙ Connectors to the regional ∙∙Shelters Miami-to-Miami bike trail ∙∙Roadway alignment ∙∙Canoe launch ∙∙Landscaping ∙∙Boardwalks ∙∙Formal gardens ∙∙Observation overlook decks ∙∙Amphitheater Location ∙∙Toledo, Ohio Services Provided ∙∙Site, Transportation, Mechanical, Electrical, and Structural Engineering, Architecture, Construction Administration Schedule ∙∙Professional Services: 2007-2010 ∙∙Construction - 2008-2011
