Yates Town Park
Project: Conceptual park design, landscape architecture, green infrastructure
Client: Town of Yates
Contact: Jon Hinman, P.E.
Description: MRB Group was retained by the Town of Yates to re-envision the Yates Town Park as part of the Governor’s Lake Ontario Resiliency and Economic Development Initiative (REDI). As a result of high-water levels and flooding in 2017 and 2019, the park has experienced substantial erosion and scouring along the shoreline, and standing water due to poor runoff conditions.
MRB Group developed a conceptual park design consisting of integrative stormwater management, landscape architecture, and green infrastructure improvements to the shoreline and interior including the construction of car-top kayak launch and an ADA-compliant lookout point (pier).
