Background
History
Wayfinding signage and trails within Theodore Wirth Regional Park is out of date and in many cases, non-existent and trails are due for replacement. This project seeks to fix this and allow for better accessibility to the park by a greater variety of users. The park should be easy to navigate but still offer opportunities to “get lost” in nature.
