GreenWorks has been working closely with Newland Communities on Reed’s Crossing, a 460-acre community located in South Hillsboro. Reed’s Crossing is a master planned community developed by Newland Communities to be constructed over the next 15 years, and comprised of single and multi-family residential, commercial, mixed use and high-density residential development with associated roadways, utilities, stormwater facilities, trails, and open space. GreenWorks was hired to envision the connected open space, including Greenway, parks, trails, pathways, and neighborhood connections.

As part of the master planning and design, GreenWorks worked with Newland Communities and Hillsboro Parks and recreation on this 4-acre neighborhood park. The park is located south the Greenway’s Discovery Zone Park (also designed by GreenWorks) and creates a link from the Greenway to a future elementary school.

GreenWorks was tasked with creating a diverse program to enhance the park and give the community a unique user experience without overlapping programs between the Greenway and the future school. Other important goals included safe pedestrian access to the park from the school and Greenway and incorporating the neighborhood trail that traverses the park.
