Berthoud Arboretum
Berthoud, COAn arboretum celebrates the agricultural history of a new community park site.
Wenk led the master planning and first phases of construction for Waggener Farm Community Park, which included a recreation center, multipurpose fields, a community playground, a skate park, and court sports, including pickleball. The Berthoud Arboretum, the latest addition to the park, brings a welcomed open space experience for the community.
Working with the Town and the Berthoud community, the project team developed the 44-acre concept plan for the arboretum site that celebrates its agricultural history. The plan features a North Community Hub composed of an event lawn, shrub garden, native perennial garden, picnic shelter and restroom, a tree nursery, crop circle meadow, and interpretive agricultural play features. The South Hub features a meandering trail system that navigates horizontally and vertically through a pine forest, a Gamble oak hillside, native prairie, and wildflower meadow. A high point provides an overlook with expansive views of the Front Range.
Wenk is currently working on the project’s first phase of design.
