WPL is saddened to hear of the loss of Grant Jones

WPL is saddened to hear of the loss of Grant Jones, FASLA, an esteemed landscape architect who inspired many designers in this profession. He worked diligently to ensure that landscape architecture went hand-in-hand with the environment.

Sending love to the family and those affected. The world will miss his brilliant mind.

As parks and recreation month is drawing to a clos

As parks and recreation month is drawing to a close, we wanted to spotlight one of our favorite parks in the Virginia Beach Parks system.

JT’s Grommet Island Beach Park & Playground for Every “Body” was the first playground of its kind in America. This 15,000 square foot playground was developed after a local developer’s son was immobilized after being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease. The park was designed with accessibility for all and equipment for people of all physical needs.

WPL was part of the team who worked to design this playground & its future impacts. Below the playground, there is a seawall that supports the it during large storms and above the playground sits shade posts that can tolerate hurricane force winds. All of the elements are designed to accommodate all needs and capabilities.

This is just one of VB’s 293 parks, so there’s so much left to explore. We have loved celebrating #ParksandRecreationMonth and hope you will continue to get outside and celebrate all your local parks system has to offer.

Celebrating in the Almond Memorial Courtyard alway

Celebrating in the Almond Memorial Courtyard always makes sense to us! 🌿🪴

Pictured, a graduation party 🎓 was celebrated at First Presbyterian Church where WPL has served the congregation since 1998. After providing the civil engineering for the Almond Memorial Courtyard, WPL completed a 30 year masterplan for implementation by the church. Since then, we have overseen the site planning, engineering, and construction for new additions.

Camp ⛺️ Grom is the home to the coolest 😎 summer camp run by the Hampton Roads YMCA! Sitting on roughly 13 acres, the camp includes numerous opportunities for passive and active recreation both on land and water. 🐠 🏊‍♀️ 🧗🏽

Bruce Thompson is pictured here at The JT Lake at Camp Grom, who originally had the idea for a summer camp for children with disabilities of all ages to enjoy. The YMCA now runs the camp for all children on a weekly basis!

Check it out!! Virginia Beach could be getting a new craft brewery, The Shipyard at 17th Street.

WPL worked on this project along with our friends over at Altruistic Design. The project features an outdoor area with reused shipping containers to enhance the vitality of the space. It will also feature local artistry, a small concert venue, and a space for food trucks to operate. Shipyard will draw visitors in and foster a one-of-a-kind environment close to the ViBe district. 🎨

We cannot wait to see this design come to fruition and to drink a cold one with you. 🍻

@vtcaus’ landscape architecture program is going to the ASLA National Conference in Nashville! This is a great opportunity for students to learn the intricacies of landscape architecture and to reignite their passion. OH and did we mention, that the initiative was funded 100% by fundraising at no cost to the students!? 🌿

WPL is proud to have a few graduates from this @virginia.tech program. 🎓

A year ago, a client came to us with the idea of redoing their outdoor space and making it not only aesthetically pleasing but also stormwater resilient.

Being a CBPA site and prone to flooding, WPL took special care to create a beautiful landscape that worked in conjunction with the natural landscape. 🌳🌊

WPL has a long history with transforming CBPA sites. If your site is located with a watershed, please call us to see if we can help you get your project designed, planned and approved! 🌱
