FLAT ROCK BROOK MASTER PLAN

Location: Englewood, NJ
Client: Flat Rock Brook Nature Association

The Flat Rock Brook Master Plan for the Jones Road Picnic Area and Playground is the culmination of an iterative design process in which MKW worked closely with the members of the Flat Rock Brook Nature Association (FRBNA) to analyze the opportunities and constraints of the project site and identify primary project goals. Our collaborative efforts ultimately came to a holistic design plan that creatively integrated the needs and desires of Flat Rock Brook and its users.

The new design invites all users to connect with nature in a variety of ways including a new outdoor classroom, nature-themed playground and forest play trail, picnic groves, gathering plaza, and access to new and existing trails. The Master Plan also identifies projected costs and an anticipated timeline and phasing plan that can be utilized for future construction. The master plan document serves as a design intent guide as the project moves into the future phases of development.
