Robert Lake Park is a popular recreation area set in the woods along Flat Creek. The park renovation included custom-designed wooden play structures and a treehouse, picnic shelter, accessible boardwalk, pathways, picnic tables, benches, stone retaining wall, and plantings. The plan was coordinated with an engineering firm’s work for streambank restoration along Flat Creek.

The church embarked on a multi-million dollar expansion requiring the entire church property be brought up to code with the City of Asheville landscape ordinance. The new playground was integrated into the architectural fabric of the historic church. The custom-designed play structures match the church’s dome and incorporate several other architectural details of the church. Other play elements include a trike track and sand play areas. Plantings include trees, ornamental grasses, an herb garden, and a planted berm to protect the playground from the adjacent busy street.

This natural playground was set along a wooded stream and includes play structures, swings, playhouse, bridge, see saw, and seating designed to fit into the wooded topography with a minimum of disturbance.

A new playground was constructed in the bottom of a heavily wooded ravine, requiring careful attention to placement of the structures and path in order to preserve trees and minimize grading. A stairway and an 800-foot accessible path lead from the community center and parking lot to the playground and connects with the existing greenway system.

This Urban Trail project involved developing the site plan and design details for the sculpture, paving, plantings, and signage commemorating author Thomas Wolfe.
