Lake Atalanta is an ecological gem nestled into the urban fabric of Rogers, Arkansas. Surrounded by some of Rogers’ oldest city parks, the destination was in need of redevelopment.
EDG master planned a new park and trails system that includes miles of boardwalk, a new natural play area and splash zone, restrooms, a pavilion, wayfinding kiosks, and a kayak hut. Care was taken to enhance the already rich flora and fauna present in the park through plant selection, sensitive grading and earth moving, site material selection, and vehicular restriction.
The goal for revitalization of this treasured city park is to enhance both the ecological and economical systems for the City of Rogers.
To design environments using strategies that incorporate stormwater to create innovative, resourceful, and compatible spaces for people, plants, and wildlife that enhance community and socio-economic well-being.
