Yesterday we had fun digging in the dirt with our friends at Hamilton County Parks and Recreation! They let us join in the fun of planting thousands of native plant plugs in the raingardens we designed at Seven Streams Park. Green infrastructure like this raingarden helps naturally filter and slow stormwater, while native plants create essential habitat that support the local wildlife community. What a joy it will be to see this raingarden fill with life and color over the next few years!

Fun office outing at the ballpark this afternoon. Indians with a 2-1 victory over the IronPigs. A beautiful day to watch a game at Victory Field...the weather and camaraderie couldn't have been better!

John even talked our way onto the field after the game to get a photo with former MLB catcher and Beech Grove and Alexandrea, IN native, and the Indians catching coach JD Closser (who also played minor league ball for the Albuquerque Isotopes...the hat Kelsey is wearing)! A fun day all around!

Enjoyed speaking with SUIT last night...a great group, lots of good questions and discussion, and a passion for trails!

It was great to learn from Jeff Mader (Mader Design LLC) last evening about new trends in trail-making and greenspace design, from the private sector perspective. We’ll see you next month for more Southside trail discussion and action!

Happy to have lead the design and redevelopment of Thompson park with Indy Parks Staff and PlayPros providing equipment and construction. A fantastic improvement to energize the park...and the tower structure is the first of its kind to be installed in Indiana! Truly a unique playground on the southeast side!

Thompson Park just got a major glow-up 🛝 The Indy southside playground has been fully reimagined and families are going to love it. Details 👇
