Parks and recreation spaces have traditionally provided visitors with an opportunity for relaxation and recharge. They are a great spot for walking your dog, tossing the Frisbee, or enjoying a picnic with friends. Today’s spaces are equipped with walking trails, seating areas, fitness stations, privacy nooks, WIFI access and power blocks, and programming.

And the recreation space is not limited to community parks; managed properties, office parks, and campuses are recognizing the benefits of creating functional outdoor space for their tenants, employees, and patrons.
