The
Goal
Over the past three decades, Richmond Hill has been successful in acquiring an exceptional park system well-suited to the town’s suburban landscape. As parks represent a critical piece of Richmond Hill’s physical environment, a clear sense of how the park system will need to evolve in the face of growth is essential. Through an initial park evaluation, it was determined that a Parks Signage Standards Manual was needed to bring consistency to the City’s parks signage system and to better reflect the character of the City’s parks.
The
Result
The final Signage Manual is a comprehensive manual for the City of Richmond Hill’s park sign system. It includes strategies for governance, outlines graphic elements, details sign types, and provides planning elements such as planning principles, where to locate signs, sign selection, and sign messaging. Through proper use of this manual, Richmond Hill’s Park Signs will promote and support the City of Richmond Hill’s brand image, secure a sense of community, establish a high standard for quality of design and create a uniform sign system that communicates information effectively and efficiently.
