Description:

TSW has partnered with Croy Engineering to help the City of Kennesaw, Georgia envision a large public park that will energize its downtown. The park, named Gateway Park, is the first constructed portion of Depot Park, a twelve-phase park project in downtown Kennesaw. The Kennesaw Gateway Park Sign sign marks the southern entry to a multi-purpose trail that runs throughout Depot Park. Ultimately, coordinated signs—tailored to fit each entry point—will mark the primary entrances into Depot Park. The materials and forms incorporated into the Gateway Park sign to pay homage to the railroad that runs adjacent to the park and the historical significance of the railroad in the City of Kennesaw.

TSW has taken the lead in developing the schematic masterplan and implementation plan for Depot Park and has developed the design of Kennesaw Gateway Park Sign through construction documentation. This includes the selection of materials and forms that will be used for the Gateway Park sign, which will be tailored to fit the entry point and will be in line with the overall aesthetic of the park.

The park will be a great addition to the city and will provide a place for residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors. The park will feature a variety of recreational opportunities, such as walking and biking trails, playgrounds, and picnic areas. There will also be spaces for community events and gatherings.

The park will also be designed to be environmentally sustainable, with the incorporation of native plantings and rainwater harvesting systems. These features will not only enhance the park’s aesthetic appeal but also serve to protect and preserve the natural resources of the area.

In conclusion, TSW and Croy Engineering are working together to bring the City of Kennesaw’s vision of a large public park to life. Gateway Park will be the first constructed portion of Depot Park, a twelve-phase park project in downtown Kennesaw. TSW has developed the schematic masterplan and implementation plan for Depot Park and developed the design of Kennesaw Gateway Park Sign through construction documentation. The park will be a great addition to the city, providing a place for residents and visitors to enjoy the outdoors and will be designed to be environmentally sustainable.
