BKI offers a comprehensive approach and skill set to planning, designing and inspecting the construction of a variety of recreational projects. Our projects vary in size and complexity from recreation assessments to development of plans for facilities ranging in size from small neighborhood playgrounds to major regional parks. The firm's engineers, planners and landscape architects have successfully blended their talents to create a number of well-received public improvements within its park spaces including boat launches, bicycle paths, picnic pavilions, playgrounds and water features. Our work translates into facilities which are safe, useable community assets.
