Constructing a park will add to the community’s spirit and bring in more revenue. It is important to know how to effectively design and construct parks and recreation areas. Here is a basic parks and recreation construction guide to ensure the success of your project: 

• Location 

Choosing a perfect location for your park is crucial. You will want to take into consideration how accessible the location is for every individual, how safe the location is and if the area has any historic or monumental factors. If the area is known for having historical factors, it could attract more visitors. 

• Market and Community 

A good rule to follow when it comes to determining what to include in recreational construction is to know what the community is in need of or is interested in. Some neighborhoods want a simple structure as an area for children, and some people would like the area to be accessible for older individuals. It can be ideal to send out a poll or conduct a meeting to get an idea of what your community is looking for in a park or recreational area. 

• Landscaping and Architecture

One you know what to include in the area, you can start construction. This is the time to choose where the parking lot will be, what materials will be used for the terrain, location of picnic tables, and what will be in surrounding areas. 

• Multiple Activities 

No matter the park design or area, you will want to provide areas for multiple activities. This includes either a basketball court, splash pad, dog park, tether ball and many more. Having more than one activity present will give people more reasons to visit the area. 

• Contact Professionals

Last step in the construction guide is to hire the professionals. They will know what is best for you and your space and will use their expertise to construct the perfect area for you.
