Halteman Park
Building upon previous work conducted by the Department of Landscape Architecture's Park and Open Spaces Design Studio in Ball State University's College of Architecture and Planning, the Studio reconvened during the spring 2020 semester to assist and engage with HVNA to formalize plans for future redevelopment of the former private neighborhood swim club. After much hard work from HVNA, among others, this space formally became a public city park during the Fall of 2019.
During the past several months, the spring landscape architecture studio collaborated with HVNA, the City of Muncie, and the community at large to strategize, vision, and plan for necessary future improvements at Halteman Park. Many thanks to everyone who helped during this process, and especially to Building Better Neighborhoods and Office of Community Engagement at Ball State for their generous support of this project.
