Great cities are known by the quality of their parks and open spaces. Parks are public gardens, places of delight. They provide relief from the pressures of urban life. They are catalysts for positive development of cities, communities and neighborhoods.
RHAA has a 48 year history as a leader in recreational planning. Our philosophy is to take park design to a higher level by incorporating elements that engage the brain as well as the body. We design trails for hiking and biking that include interpretation of the local environment. We design playgrounds for active play that also educate children about the adjacent ecoystems. We design parks that utilize sustainable principles of stormwater management while educating park users about green design. It is this holistic view that makes our recreational areas known throughout the United States.
Our portfolio ranges from National and State parks to community and neighborhood parks to the development of regional recreation systems. This work involves a continuing awareness of human behavior to provide quality environments with harmony and order which conform to functional requirements, management goals, maintenance programs and user needs.
