2022 Innovation in Park Design - National Parks and Recreation Association

Our project for the City of Fishers Parks and Recreation Department included the new offices for the Department, as well as a state-of-the-art makerspace that is operated by the Department. The makerspace was awarded the top national prize for “Innovation in Park Design” from the National Parks and Recreation Association. The space introduces a new way of fusing a makerspace and recreation space together. This design involved coordinating several different kinds of technology and machinery.

Learning + Innovation

The project includes a wood shop, metal shop, CNC machine, 3D Printer, laser engraver, computers, tools, and supplies to cut, form, and create. Safety considerations were also important since the makerspace shares programming with the local school district. Fifth grade curriculum brings Hamilton Southeastern students to the space regularly throughout the school year to learn different STEAM skills with the technology present at the facility.

This project is located within the Hub & Spoke Design Center.
