J. A. Brennan Associates is creating the schematic master plan for five recreational sites along the Wenatchee River in Central Washington. After conducting stakeholder interviews and community workshops, J.A. Brennan Associates created concept designs sensitive to the sites’ natural characteristics. Design amenities include river access points for fishing and rafting/kayaking, picnicking spots, an outdoor classroom, and enhancement of an oxbow pond for salmon refuge.

The Upper Valley Plan includes a plan for connecting the recreation sites by a greenway system including educational and interpretive facilities, back road routes for scenic drives, and a bicycle and pedestrian trail system. The new amenities will allow the valley to promote eco-tourism opportunities for future economic development.
