Outdoor Recreation Report

The globe’s most successful urban parks are never “build it and they will come” propositions. The planning of the needed amenities, the circulation between the amenities, and the audience needs that the park will serve are based on understanding the local market. The attached plan here serves as the framework for Origin Park as we project visitor needs and demands.

Developed by PROS Consulting, the nation’s leading outdoor recreation planning firm based in Indianapolis, this plan was completed ahead of the master plan. It evaluated existing parks and park plans across the region, the use rates of residents for park space, and then allowed us to design specific amenities to meet these identified demands while filling gaps in our regional public park system and not duplicating services.
