Once restricted to planning and development of discrete parks and athletic facilities, recreational planning is now viewed in much more comprehensive terms. State, county, and local governments seek to implement practical plans that will not only develop and enhance recreational facilities but also link communities to these facilities. Our expertise includes planning design, development of trails, parks, greenways, wilderness areas, natural areas, historic sites, environmental education areas, campgrounds, and recreational areas, as well as integration of facilities that ensure multi-modal access to recreational destinations.

At The RBA Group we have developed comprehensive park and recreation plans that involve initial assessments and inventory; including critical constraints mapping, community outreach, recreation program development and management, and maintenance recommendations. Elements of a plan may include administrative service buildings, children's activity centers, a natural resources center and museum, and outdoor amphitheater, picnic and group shelter areas, bike and exercise trails, playgrounds and playing fields, regulation golf course, single family homes, golf villas, historic bed and breakfast, and traditional country club amenities.

The multi-skilled professionals at The RBA Group recognize that public entities such as federal, state, and local governments are looking for specific elements in recreation and park plans. As the general public has a particular level of required amenities, private developers have different needs for their recreation facilities. For the past thirty-three years our firm has provided quality master planning and design services to meet the varied needs our clients.
