Park and Recreation Master Plan
HWC worked closely with the city, parks department, and a local steering committee to complete a Parks Master Plan for Charlestown. After reviewing input from over thirty stakeholder interviews and a public survey with excellent participation, recommendations were prioritized into four categories—connectivity, programming, projects, and policy.

Park and Recreation Master Plan
HWC worked closely with the parks board and staff to complete a Park and Recreation Master Plan. System-wide goals included focusing on the quality of parks over the quantity of parks, promoting active and healthy lifestyles, promoting activities and programs geared specifically towards teens, connecting neighborhoods to parks, and developing digital platforms for the parks department. A clear action plan with timelines, budgeting, and mini park plans provided the city with a toolkit to begin to implement these goals.
