CONSULTING
Parks & Recreation
 Since its inception, ARRO has successfully assisted countless public and private sector clients in their efforts to create and sustain park, recreation, and open space programs. We have been assisting communities to develop programs and facilities that enhance the quality of life in the community by providing active and passive facilities that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and appropriate for various age groups.
The term “recreation” has different meanings to different people; however, the quest for personal enjoyment, relaxation, improved health, and interaction with friends and neighbors is almost universal. Parks and recreation needs are continuously evolving. These needs are driven by changes in demographics, social attitudes, politics, economics, and shifts in the cultural landscape.
Without proper planning, the fabric of a community and the quality of life of its residents can change dramatically. For this reason, public and private entities must continuously plan on how to deal with these changes in an organized and coordinated manner. Good planning practice dictates that parks and recreation facilities be considered as part of the planning process.
ARRO’s park and recreation credits range from the design of small tot lots and neighborhood parks to the preparation of comprehensive master site plans for regional parks.
