HC Farms & Bray Park Master Plans
Mader Design was engaged by Hamilton County Parks to provide concurrent master planning services for Bray Family Homestead Park and HC Farms Park. The two undeveloped parks are less than 1 mile apart; by developing plans concurrently, site features and amenities were deliberately selected in order to create unique user experiences for each park. HC Farms will offer a passive, naturalized space with trails through woodland ravines and native wetlands. Designs for Bray Family Homestead Park offer active uses such as an all-ages, fitness-focused playground, 18 holes of disc golf, a pump track for mountain biking, increased community garden space, and opportunities for agritourism programming such as maple syrup and natural food production. A connector trail between the two park experiences is a potential future development.
