Parks
Parks create space for communities to slow down, connect, and experience the outdoors. From neighborhood green spaces to regional trail systems and destination parks, these environments support wellness, accessibility, and environmental stewardship. Great parks balance activity and restoration, offering places for gathering, reflection, and everyday enjoyment while respecting the land they occupy.

Planning Long-Term Maintenance
Successful park projects begin with thoughtful planning. Understanding site context, natural systems, community priorities, and long‑term maintenance needs is essential to creating spaces that endure. Parks must be flexible enough to evolve over time while remaining safe, inclusive, and welcoming to people of all ages and abilities.
Connections Between People and Place
Farnsworth Group partners with communities, park districts, and public agencies to plan and design parks that strengthen connections between people and place. Our multidisciplinary teams integrate master planning, landscape architecture, civil engineering, utilities, and permitting to deliver cohesive park environments that function well from opening day through decades of use. Whether developing a new park or reinvesting in an existing one, we focus on creating durable, accessible spaces that invite everyday use and long‑term stewardship.
