Village of Colonie, New York

Laberge Group was responsible for obtaining funding, planning,
designing and construction observation for the 20+ acre
environmentally sensitive park in the urban Village of Colonie.
One of the key components to planning the park access road
was to connect it with a major pedestrian thoroughfares
in the Village and ensure park usage by the public. A previous
project provided sidewalks along Sand Creek Road that accommodates
pedestrian mobility. 
The park includes benches, wildlife amenities, recreational
trails, landscaping treatments and a series of interpretive
trails, which draw the population from the neighboring
residential
areas.A large portion of the park is handicapped accessible
as required under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
As
a result of this project, usage has significantly increased
in the park thus improving the quality of life in the Village.
