PARK PLANNING AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
Optimize your outdoor space. Make a deeper connection. Vibrant, functional outdoor spaces are critical to physical, emotional and social well-being. Whether part of a corporate campus, housing development, streetscape or park, even the smallest outdoor space has the potential to deliver major value. Creating memorable destinations and desirable places enhances the user’s quality of life while promoting economic benefits.
Fireman’s Park City of Verona
Park Planning and Landscape Design
Address every aspect of your critical space. Making the most of the environment is both an art and a science that requires expertise in multiple disciplines, from planning, green infrastructure and stormwater management, to branding and wayfinding. At MSA, our professional landscape architects understand how people interact with their environment in various settings. We use that knowledge to craft distinctive plans while supporting implementation through our strong understanding of construction principles.
Achieve multiple goals in one setting. Our multidisciplinary expertise and collaborative approach to design empowers you to do more with your space. Even while we’re creating outdoor spaces for people to use and enjoy, we’re thinking innovatively about how to balance budget and maintenance goals. By collaborating with MSA, you get smart, well-built solutions for your investment.

MULTIUSE TRAILS Connecting your community in more ways than one. There is a feeling of freedom associated with traveling by trail. Whether you’re an urban bicycle commuter navigating to the office or a family on a weekend outing to get “off the beaten path,”
multiuse trails offer
something for everyone. That’s their beauty. We view these trails as true community connectors, and in many cases, connectors to neighbors within the broader region. Designed to accommodate people with a range of interests and levels of mobility,
multiuse
trails can fit into almost every geography, grid or budget, and can serve as an extension of your community’s existing transportation and recreation networks.
The TAP-funded Trillium Trail adds over 1 mile of new 10-foot-wide paved trail that connects to existing routes, provides safe, accessible access over USH 51/I39 and links to the Wisconsin River pedestrian bridge — and, ultimately, surrounding communities.
16 MSA - Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Statement of Qualifications
Municipal leaders are seeing a consistent uptick in trail use and are electing to invest in the development of new trails and the maximizing the connectivity of existing trail systems. Trails yield a multitude of benefits, from increasing citizen health by encouraging healthy activity to cutting down on traffic congestion and reducing vehicular emissions.

ATV TRAILS AND CAMPGROUNDS When adventure calls, be ready to answer. Campgrounds, RV parks and ATV trails have become places of solace—a means to get away from busy schedules and retreat. For some, “R and R” means lounging at camp with a cup of coffee and a book. For others, it means hitting the ATV trail with friends to explore the surrounding landscape. We design to accommodate all preferences, by collaboratively working with state and local DNR, preservation groups, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, forestry departments, trail clubs, recreational organizations and local tourism interests to create trails and home-away-from-home bases that are functional, beautiful and accessible.
Drummond Lake Campground | Town of Drummond MSA worked with the Town of Drummond to develop an ATV campground facility. MSA’s design included sanitary sewer, water main and stormwater, plus the electrical and grading plan. The project also included a prefabricated restroom building.

ATV Trails and Campgrounds
Bunker Hills Campground Anoka County Parks The Bunker Hills Campground needed more sites to keep pace with its growing popularity and to address the needs of modern campers. One of the project’s main challenges was to protect the landscape while offering campers convenient access to electricity, water and bathroom facilities. The final product tucked 25 new campsites in among the trees and natural topography,
while
protecting
surrounding
wetlands and accommodating the existing bike paths and disk golf course.
MSA recognizes that getting away isn’t always about roughing it. Most adventurers still need access to staples such as electric, water and sanitary services. The MSA park and recreation team works to provide cost-efficient designs that meet these basic needs, while protecting the environment, providing safe stormwater and sanitary sewer engineering practices and working within the parameters of the existing environment. All of this helps assure that fun, outdoor recreation minimizes impact to our natural resources, wetlands and any fragile or protected species found along the project path.
Wild Rivers Trail RV Park Village of Minong MSA completed the grant application and the design for the RV campground. The project included a prefabricated restroom building, pavilion and tent sites.
Quartzite and Northern Lights Campsites Devil’s Lake State Park Upgrades were needed to the Quartzite and Northern Lights campground facilities in the form of new toilet/shower buildings and pit toilet buildings. MSA provided architectural, structural, site civil and surveying services. The new prefabricated concrete pit toilet buildings are cost efficient and will serve the park for years to come.

AQUATICS Help your community make a splash. Water-based recreation can find a home in any part of your community, whether as a large aquatics centerpiece or a small neighborhood splash pad. MSA recognizes that water amenities can be built to accommodate people of all ages, abilities and comfort levels. For some communities, this means a zero-depth splash pad that is safe for the very young and welcoming to those who just need to cool off on a hot summer day. For others, we’ve designed Olympic-sized competitive swimming and diving pools, water slides, lazy rivers, zip line features and poolside climbing walls. These can be stand-alone facilities or incorporated into larger park-like settings with bath houses, concessions, sport courts, athletic fields, playgrounds, shelters and trails. Whatever your vision, we’ll help you bring it to life with just the right splash factor.

A new playground, durable, low-maint composite, challen climbers. Accessible grilling stations allow all users to enjoy this community park.
A new multiuse path connects the entire park, including lighted basketball and tennis courts.
A beautiful bath house serves as a park focal point and is designed to be multi-seasonal. In summer, it functions like a traditional bathhouse with a pool shower and locker area. In winter, it can be used for parties and other events, in addition to a warming house for the ice skating arena.
The site was regraded to provide dual benefits. A sledding hill was created, and stormwater runoff was directed into a detention pond so the new park did not increase stormwater runoff. This also helps keep the site usable at all times of the year by improving overall site drainage.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT Our ability to implement effective, comprehensive public participation plans is one of the many reasons communities turn to MSA for their public engagement needs. At MSA, we believe that when planning a public project it must be done with the public’s advice and input. Decisions made by local governments affect the future of all those who live and work in the community. We are committed to helping governments and organizations understand the diverse needs and concerns of the public, non-profit organizations, business interests and local governments. Aside from community support, this process also lends itself to ensuring the final project reflects the community’s ethos and vision for its future. Public engagement generally consists of three related, and often overlapping, processes: information dissemination, dialogue, and citizen input. We specialize in working alongside our clients and selecting the best available methods to hear the voices of many citizens through the process. The type and combinations of methods selected will ensure a balance of informing, consulting, involving, collaborating, and empowering the public. Therefore, engagement can and should be accomplished by tapping into a variety of sources, including community and non-profit
organizations, public officials, youth, individuals with disabilities, mature citizens and those that have been traditionally underserved. Listed below are a few techniques we use to strengthen public involvement for your community.

MULTIMEDIA In addition to parks and recreation amenities, MSA also offers services that can enhance your projects and add value to your investments. Aerial Solutions The pilots, surveyors, video editors and marketers who make up the MSA Aerial Solutions team are highly experienced with capturing aerial photos and videos that deliver a wealth of information about vast areas in a highly effective and efficient manner. These resources add value to a wide range of applications and can be used for analyzing infrastructure in real time and using sUAS technology for topographic survey, gaining a bird’s-eye view of potential sites and make use of 3D modeling for planning and public engagement purposes. Photos can also do wonders for mapping and marketing projects. Asset Management Cloud-based GIS applications empower your parks and recreation staff to efficiently and systematically monitor park maintenance. Our asset management solutions can be easily scaled to fit your community’s goals, all while keeping your data centralized and at your fingertips.
Modeling With the help of 3D modeling, you will get a glimpse of different scenarios and truly bring your future projects to life. With this tool, public engagement and planning rise to a new level, whether attendees are physically at a session or viewing potential plans at home. StoryMaps Using the same cloud-based platform as our asset management solutions, an Esri StoryMap is an interactive, map-based application that allows you to overlay text, images and multimedia content. Wayfinding and Informational Kiosks Custom wayfinding and kiosks create a self-guided journey for visitors to your parks. From educating on the rich history of the site to enforcing community branding and identity, MSA can assist with planning, design and implementation to create a cohesive patron experience.
