Located in Columbia County, Georgia, Blanchard Woods Park is a 200-acre active and passive recreational park serving the metropolitan Augusta area. Breedlove Land Planning developed a comprehensive Master Plan that integrated the program goals and objectives into a highly functional design for the much-needed park.
The multi-phased Master Plan incorporates a variety of passive park elements, including a number of nature trails, picnic areas, and gathering spaces that take advantage of existing natural features. Active recreational activities include a large soccer complex of ten full-sized fields, a sixteen-court tennis pavilion, a cross country course, a BMX bike course, and a skateboard plaza.
The resulting Master Plan harmoniously incorporated an aggressive program into a site had many inherent challenges, including steep topography, existing power easements, and poor stormwater management.
