Parks
and Recreation
Peaks to Plains Design has recently completed the newest
aquatics facility for the Heights Neighborhood in Billings
in over 20 years! The design encompasses a peanut-shaped
colored concrete surface with a trench drain that collects
the water from the spray pad to a holding pond. The water
from the pond becomes an aesthetic feature as well as a reservoir
for irrigation water for the park.
The play elements include age-appropriate play apparatus
as well as water-conserving nozzles. By far, the water cannons
are one of the most popular features on the pad. The system
is controlled by a timer that is adjustable for the duration
of the features, sequence of the ground sprays and operating
hours.
Peaks to Plains Design has been part of 29 acres of parkland
development for the Cattail Creek Subdivision in Bozeman,
Montana. The park lands have been developed in four phases
since 2001. The parkway includes Cattail Creek, which also
holds several small ponds, a walking trail, benches, unprogrammed
open space and numerous tree and shrub plantings.
Sandan Park is 3.12 acres of active recreation. It features
a large, flat open space, an internal circular sidewalk,
benches and a playground, complete with a real boulder climbing
wall. The park boundaries are defined with six-foot high
berms on the east and west axis.
Cattail Creek Parkway, the Developers, Sandan LLC, and the
Design Team have been recognized by the Gallatin Valley Land
Trust for outstanding quality as a community park and trail
system.
Peaks to Plains Design was part of a design team to renovate
a day-use area into a new campground for the Bureau of Land
Management along the Madison River. Red Mountain Campground
at an elevation of 3500 feet is located in southwestern Montana
and encompasses 20 acres. This is a basic campground with
16 campsites, toilets and drinking water. Fishing and river
floating may be enjoyed on the Madison River, with access
to a hand boat launch. Peaks to Plains Design worked with
engineers to develop a new roadway, fencing and trails. The
campground will also provide restroom facilities and a group
picnic shelter. In addition, recreational amenities have
been added to the site such as a group fire ring and horseshoe
pits.
Peaks to Plains Design is a member of a Design Team with
an IDIQ Contract with BLM. |
