Stonewater Park

In 2011, Farnsworth Group, working with the local developer and the Chillicothe Park District, began providing landscape architectural services for Stonewater Park. Farnsworth Group developed the master plan for the park, which guided the creation of a neighborhood destination centered on recreation, exploration, and community gathering.

The completed park incorporated lakes, a walking trail, a children’s discovery playground, restroom facilities, and parking. The master plan thoughtfully integrated the site’s existing ponds and natural features while creating a variety of opportunities for active and imaginative play.

The master plan included:

A 50-foot shelter with decks extending over the existing ponds
Restroom facilities and parking lots
Treehouse structures and decks
A council ring seating area for neighborhood gatherings
A hand-pump station that created a running creek
A rope-climbing structure
Two age-appropriate playgrounds
A balance play area
A messy materials area for creative building and exploration
