Cool Springs

Project Details

Located in Kyle, Texas, Cool Springs is a neighborhood park project designed for Lennar. The park features neighborhood parks, a trail system, and recreational amenities, making it a central hub for community engagement and outdoor activities.

Scope of Work

Develop a neighborhood park featuring spring-fed ponds, a trail system, and diverse recreational amenities to enhance community engagement and accessibility.

Design Approach

Gathering Spaces: Custom pavilion with grills, picnic area, and washer pits near the pool and amenity center.
Recreational Amenities: Large playscape, playfields, and a restroom building.
Deck and Creek Integration: A deck spanning the connecting creek enhances the park's usability and scenic appeal.
