Description:

The City of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma worked with TSW to provide park and recreation master planning services for the Bluff Landing Recreation Area. The goal of this project was to prepare a preliminary feasibility study that analyzed the existing Bluff Landing Recreation Area, which was located along the Verdigris River, and the potential for future opportunities for additional wilderness and recreation amenities.

The area was a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and picnicking. It was situated along the Verdigris River, which provided opportunities for river-based recreational activities. However, despite its popularity and natural beauty, the area had not yet been fully developed to its potential. The preliminary feasibility study, prepared by the TSW team, helped to identify opportunities for the expansion and enhancement of recreational amenities and services within the area.

TSW’s team conducted a comprehensive analysis of the existing park and recreation resources, including natural features, recreational amenities, and infrastructure. The team also gathered input from the community and local stakeholders to better understand the community’s needs and priorities. Based on the findings of this analysis, the team developed a plan that outlined a clear vision and achievable action items for the expansion and enhancement of the Bluff Landing Recreation Area.

The plan included a variety of potential recreational amenities and services such as additional hiking trails, picnic areas, fishing areas, and river access points. The plan also considered other potential opportunities such as education and interpretation opportunities, and nature-based tourism. The plan also included implementation strategies and cost estimates, to help guide the city’s budgeting and fundraising efforts.
