Abstract

This is one of five reports submitted for the LA497C Spring 2011 Senior Studio project.

This proposed greenway plan will be assessing the features of Hatfield such as, History, natural features, and open space within the town. After a thorough assessment of the towns features the report will cover the extensive proposed greenway plan, focusing mostly on the town center of Hatfield. The town center is the hub of the town where the major community buildings are such as the elementary and high schools, town hall, the town library, and most of the public recreation fields. Once the overall greenway plan has been analyzed, the report will cover more in depth specific areas of focus that are important when creating connections through the town center in the proposed greenway plan. These focus areas are, The Mill River Park, Education connection, and renovations to the Smith Academy Town Park. Each area of focus provides the residents and visitors to the town of Hatfield the benefit of safe recreation as well as an opportunity to learn about the history, wildlife, and natural features of Hatfield.
