Case Study:

Neighborhood Parks: Partnership in Action

When a township acquired a property once owned by a landscaping business, it looked for an opportunity to benefit the local community in multiple ways.

The result was Koontz Park, a beautiful recreational area that offers lessons in landscaping, native species, and managing runoff from storms. The holistic vision became a reality because many partners contributed to the effort by sharing their expertise, personal passions, and willingness to get dirty and sweat.
