When community members saw an opportunity to recapture one of Lexington’s oldest gathering spaces, Castlewood Park, they called on Gresham Smith. In an effort to build on their grassroots momentum, our landscape architects helped nonprofit North Limestone Community Development Corporation (NoLi CDC) secure grant funding for their proposal to plan, design and build Plant & Play—a new nature play environment and garden that will harness the site’s promising potential. Our team’s design helps bring this local asset to life, providing children with an accessible place to play while reconnecting the community to nature.
