Peoplestown Parks Master Plan |
Park Pride, a nonprofit group that leads and inspires action for parks and greenspaces in Atlanta, began working with the Peoplestown neighborhood to develop a parks master plan know as Peoplestown Parks. Through a series of community meetings and visioning sessions, Park Pride developed a conceptual plan for two existing, underutilized park areas and an undeveloped tract between the two parks that is adjacent to the BeltLine.
In an effort to keep the community momentum moving forward, the City of Atlanta retained TSW to further develop the concept plan into several alternatives and produce a more financially manageable plan. During the
planning process, TSW conducted community meetings to better define the needs and goals for the parks, determined appropriate phasing for the park program elements, and conducted a cost analysis. more |

Crooked Creek Tennis Pavilion |
Crooked Creek is a 640 home community in Milton, Georgia. This active community prides itself on providing a variety of park and recreation amenities for its residence. In 2008, Crooked Creek Homeowners’ Association contracted Tunnell-Spangler-Walsh & Associates to provide a schematic plan and construction documents for updating and enlarging the communities main amenity area located at the entry to the Crooked Creek community. The new amenities to be included on the 4.5 acres were a new clubhouse to replacement of the existing clubhouse, a new family pool, a new lap pool, a new pool bathhouse, an addition of two tennis courts to the existing eight tennis courts, a new 2-story tennis pavilion, a new basketball court, an enlarged play ground area, a new event field, and additional parking.
TSW planners and architects worked together to ensure these gateway amenities function well for the required sport and recreation activities and allowed for a blending of the architecture into the existing residential community. Heavy timber wood columns, stone, board and batten siding, and brick are used to create landmark Tudor and rustic buildings that add to the overall perception of the Crooked Creek Community. |

TSW's approach to park and recreation design is that quality parks and public spaces should be a direct reflection of the people they serve. These spaces are the most fundamental spaces in community building; they are the spaces where bonds are formed, memories made, and community identity is established. All parks must be designed in a manner which provides the opportunity for the range of uses evident in every community.
TSW's approach to recreational and sports facilities planning and design views parks and open spaces as one of the essential components of a sustainable community. By incorporating parks and open spaces into the community, we provide greater accessibility, minimize impacts to the natural environment, and create more memorable destinations.
