Park Planning
The design and planning of
spaces that contribute to the leisure, health, physical activities, entertainment, and
remembrance in a city comprise a special practice area for Vista. Both private and public
parkland and open space planning are important for a community and city and require much
broader analysis and consideration than simply the border and adjacent land uses but all
parks are part of a system important for providing the functions designed for as well as a
place that may connect to a broader system of trails, or perform important functions for
stormwater drainage, buffering of land uses, heat mitigation, and spaces for health and
wellness.
Vista’s experience spans a very broad spectrum of parkland and open space types from private community swim centers to sport and open space public parks, splash pads and water parks, to city-wide parks, trails, and open space master plans. New areas of research for Vista includes the incorporation of educational and intelligence stimulus, as well as therapeutic and wellness spaces.
