Challenge/Goal: The Park District decided to plan for and design a new community center on their existing site. The concept of a “Town Center” was of prime importance during the design.

Solution: As the winner of a design competition, SRBL was chosen because of the demonstrated attention to detail and efficient spatial relationships. The project began by analyzing the existing site for optimal placement of a large recreation center, parking, landscaping, retention pond, and gazebo. The project’s focal point is an ornate 28 foot carousel which is part of the children’s party wing.
