he great in-town neighborhoods of the early 20th century often
included a quaint commercial center within easy walking distance
of nearby residences. Our new, old neighborhood design includes
such a place. Flanked by Park
Homes one side, Live/Work
residences on another and a recreation park on the final
side, Clark's Square is greenspace at the village center?
a perfect gathering spot for community events, catching up
with neighbors or shopping with the neighborhood merchants.
No
TND would be complete without a ball field,
community pool and playground. Overlooking
Clark's
Square and the Recreation area, Clark's Pavilion is a great
place to spend an afternoon or weekend
picnic.
Turner
Lake Park is a short walk from Clark's Grove, on
the adjoining property. It is an outstanding, full service,160
acre recreation complex featuring a four-mile nature trail,
beautiful Turner Lake, four softball fields, one football
field, an indoor gymnasium with basketball courts and numerous
picnic pavilions. This award winning park is a model for environmental
preservation and low-impact development.

Clark's
Grove is a "walkable" neighborhood and walking trails
were front-of-mind during its design. The designers insisted
on a native Wetland Garden as an added bonus to the wonderful
nature trails.
