Jewett Park

KGK was invited to work to develop a feasible masterplan for Jewett Park – an unappealing neighborhood park located on Akron’s east side. Working closely with the general public through the community engagement process, our team narrowed down the needs of the site to include amenities such as a new plaza space, bike racks, a new playground area, raised community gardens, covered pavilions, and a walking trail to connect it all together. Moving beyond the planning and design process, KGK continued their involvement through the installation process, leading a community build day and coordinating with other contractors to complete all of the landscaping throughout the park.
