Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation engaged RATIO to lead a master planning effort for the park that will guide its evolution over the next 10-20 years. The plan will provide recommendations and identify opportunities for improving infrastructure to support the future growth programming elements, enhancing connections to surrounding neighborhoods, greenways and the downtown area, expanding bicycle and pedestrian circulation, and improving wayfinding and accessibility.
In keeping with the wishes of John Franke, the plan will seek to enhance, restore, and preserve the park’s natural woodland areas, waterways, and wetlands for the enjoyment of future generations of Fort Wayne residents and visitors.
