Deep Creek Park ImprovementsThe Deep Creek Park improvements project involved the conceptual planning, design, permitting and construction management assistance of a 22-acre regional park and recreational facility located on a tributary of the Peace River.

The park includes hiking trails, picnic and educational pavilions, restrooms, a boat ramp, boat trailer and bus parking, ranger living quarters, and recreational areas.

A site survey was performed to identify topographic information, parcel boundary, utilities, and pertinent natural site features (wetlands, large trees and hydrologic features).
