Create Parks and Recreation Infrastructure That Serves Communities for Years to Come.

At GHA, we work alongside park and recreation agencies to understand what each space means to the community. That partnership guides practical improvements that are designed to deliver lasting value, simplify maintenance, and make the most of capital investments.

Park Districts

Helping park districts improve everyday use, expand programming, and invest confidently in facilities that serve their communities.

Forest Preserves

Balancing public access, trail connections, drainage needs, and natural resource protection.

Featured Projects

We've helped park projects succeed for 45 years and counting, from early planning through construction and long-term management.

Grounded. Honest. Accountable.

We Take Every
Project Personally.

We know these spaces matter to the communities that use them. That responsibility stays with us throughout the project, guiding how we work through challenges and follow through on every commitment.

Recreation projects succeed when design decisions match how people use and maintain the space every day.
