Woodleaf Park – Rowan County, NC

I’m fortunate to work on projects that truly shape the communities I call home. From coastal parks and shaded playgrounds to neighborhood gathering spaces, each one is the result of close collaboration with local schools, parks departments, and community groups. These projects reflect the unique needs of Southwest Florida, withstand our climate, and create spaces people can enjoy for years to come.

Woodleaf Park – Rowan County, NC

Woodleaf Park was designed to be a central gathering spot for Rowan County families. The playground combines age-appropriate play equipment with shade and site furnishings, making it a year-round destination. Partnering with local leaders, I focused on durability and accessibility so the park can serve the community for decades.

What stands out to me about Woodleaf Park is how quickly it became part of daily life for the community. Families use it after school, on weekends, and for special events, proving the design works for all ages. With support from Bliss Products and Services, the equipment is built to last while blending into the park’s natural setting. It’s a project I’m proud of because it reflects Rowan County’s commitment to creating safe, welcoming spaces for everyone.

No two projects are ever quite the same – and that’s one of the things I enjoy most about this work.  Whether you’re just starting to sketch ideas or already have a clear direction, I’m happy to help you think it through and find the right fit for your space.  I’ll share what’s worked well in other Florida communities, walk you through the details, and make sure you feel confident moving forward.  Big or small, if you’ve got a project on the horizon, I’d love to be part of it.
