Parks create an environment that promote a sense of community, encourage social interaction and break down barriers between people. Parks give everyone the space to be a "kid" and offer an opportunity to "stop and smell the flowers". Community parks provide passive and active recreation, which are essential to a healthy lifestyle and community.

Every park RJM designs is as unique as the community that envisions them. RJM's approach for community park development involves community input throughout the design process enabling the design team to create an environment that is agreed upon by the end users.

All park development is community oriented based on interests, space availability, financial resources and goals. Aspects of important focus include athletic and recreational opportunities such as:
