Parks & Recreation: A Case Study

Parks and recreation maps are successful when they attract new and returning visitors. Our custom maps are designed to help park visitors make the most of their recreation.

Parks System Map

The Frisco Parks and Recreation Department in Frisco, Texas, contacted us about producing a system map showing their many resources. This public map included community, neighborhood, and special-use parks, facilities, and trails and greenways. The map was built from current geographic (GIS) data procured from the city; this guaranteed that city street and feature information was current and accurate.

The map was published as a two-sided brochure. The other side included photographs and information about parks, trails, and facilities.For price and design information for your parks, please contact us.

The Individual Parks Map

A year later Frisco Parks and Recreation returned with a request to create detailed maps of four popular community parks.

Each park’s layout was mapped using satellite imagery. Soccer fields, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, a disc golf course were shown in a visually realistic way. Pictorial symbols were also employed to quickly reference the activities on the map. These page-sized full-color maps were printed and distributed at the parks and at other Parks & Recreation and city facilities.

Our completed maps were GIS-enabled. This allows for easier updates in the future. It also allows us to share our maps with the city’s GIS department, a free benefit that can integrate the data needs of the department and the city.
