Parks and Recreation

We are dedicated to creating vibrant, functional, and sustainable parks and recreational spaces that enhance community well-being and environmental stewardship. With decades of experience in designing parks and recreation projects, our multidisciplinary team excels in transforming open spaces into dynamic places where people of all ages can connect with nature and each other.

GPD currently services 30 of Ohio’s leading park and recreation agencies along with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. In addition to those agencies, we have contributed to municipal park projects in over 100 cities/villages/townships in Ohio. These projects include design, general improvement plans, studies, master plans, and construction administration for projects ranging from park facilities and ballfields, to trails and bridges.

From innovative play areas and serene gardens to multi-use recreational fields, we design spaces that are both visually appealing and practical. We believe that parks and recreational spaces should be more than just places—they should be experiences. Our comprehensive approach combines creativity, technical knowledge, and a deep understanding of community needs to deliver success.
