WGI PROJECT
Winding Waters Natural Area Boardwalks & Observation Towers
Client:
Palm Beach County
Location:
Palm Beach County, FL
Project Description
Winding Waters Park boardwalks and observation towers were developed as part of a Palm Beach County initiative to provide new passive park systems which provide hiking through natural areas, including boardwalks to traverse wetlands and elevated decks to observe birds and other native wildlife living in the natural surroundings.
As a part of the park improvements, WGI designed the structural components of a new 8’ wide by 300’ long wood boardwalk supported on concrete piling. The use of IPE and Brazilian hardwood for the decks and railing system, combined with the concrete foundations for the boardwalks, will provide safe, low-maintenance facilities for long-term use by visitors to the Winding Waters nature trails and park.
