Parks + Recreation

ms consultants provides engineering, architecture and planning services to local, community and state parks and recreation areas.

Depending upon the size, budget and program, the amenities of these many parks can include ball fields, pavilions, community buildings, tennis courts, volleyball and sand volleyball courts, hike & bike trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, dog parks, boat ramps and docking facilities, water features, amphitheaters and stage areas, food courts and a variety of other recreational options – both active and passive.

ms also has extensive experience in the design, inspection and rehabilitation of trail systems. These range from being located in remote natural areas, including ravines and gorges, to being in urban and suburban areas and connected to community or citywide trail systems.
