Kerr Park

The KGK design team worked with the community and stakeholders to develop a masterplan for Kerr Park, located in Akron, Ohio. The goal of the project was to develop a plan that could be adopted by the community over several years. The project’s goals included creating a new playground, renovating tennis courts, enhancing site circulation, and beautification of the park through landscaping and new site furnishings. Highest priority improvements were selected to receive funding in the initial stages of the project, including the playground and surrounding landscape.

The group raised donations for the buildout of the playground with help from their partner, KABOOM. In addition to providing the design and planting installation, the team at KGK was happy to volunteer their time to help KABOOM install the play equipment. The design of the playground is inclusive to all children and provides a great resource to the neighborhood, as well as the greater City of Akron.
