Designing
Visitor
with
the

in Mind - the Next
Stage for Trojan Park

By Paula Jacoby-Garrett

T

his year, NRPA will complete its seventh Parks Build Community
(PBC) project with the creation of Trojan Park in Wellston, Missouri.
The program selects disadvantaged or underserved neighborhoods in
the host city of the NRPA Annual Conference, and either upgrades
an existing park facility that is distressed, or installs a new facility if none currently exist. This year, NRPA is proud to create a new park facility in Wellston,
located just north of St. Louis, Missouri. Once a thriving business community,
this area has seen both a loss of economic opportunities and municipal services.
" We are proud, hardworking, loyal, knowledgeable people that are working to
improve the quality of life for all our citizens, children, employees and business
owners, " said Wellston's enthusiastic, driven new Mayor Nathaniel Griffin.
Trojan Park is part of a broader effort by Great Rivers Greenway to link
parks throughout St. Louis with more
than 600 miles of greenways. The
park will be located along a 7-mile
section of the St. Vincent Greenway,

linking Forest Park to the University of Missouri - St. Louis campus.
Great Rivers Greenway Project Manager, Megan Riechmann, believes the
location is key: " I really feel like it is
going to be a catalyst for the neigh-

borhood. We are very excited about
the visibility of this park and hope
that it creates an entrance feel for the
Wellston community. "
Design
Great Rivers Greenway has teamed
up with Forum Studio for the design of Trojan Park. Public meetings
began in 2014 and were facilitated
by their nonprofit partner, Beyond
Housing. These meetings have defined the needs and desires of the
Wellston community for both the St.
Vincent Greenway and Trojan Park
and have helped determine that the
No. 1 priority for citizens is facilities
for all members of the community,
