Wirth & Associates, Inc

The 5th graders at Sherrills Ford Elementary School in Catawba County, NC had a class project this year to design a park. Knowing that Wirth & Associates had completed master planning for the nearby 600 acre Mountain Creek Park, the school asked Gary Wirth to come and present what is a landscape architect and how does a landscape architect plan such a park. Mr. Wirth presented the design process to the class and then related it to how it was applied to the master plan for Mountain Creek Park.

The 5th graders then presented their park plans to their classmates and Mr. Wirth who provided encouraging comments on their designs. Perhaps there are a few future landscape architects in the group?? We hope so!

This morning the BOC explored design options for Catawba County's newest recreation destination, Mountain Creek Park. Good things coming to the Sherrills Ford area! http://bit.ly/2k9wcAF

Thanks to all of you that participated in the two Community Input Meetings on October 19 and October 25. We received valuable data which is a critical tool in programming and planning the park. If you didn't get a chance to attend a public meeting or submit a hardcopy survey, take the Mountain Creek Park online input survey and tell us what you would like to see developed at the proposed park:
