Ovid Hazen Wells Park
Clarksburg, MD
This 288-acre park in Montgomery County, Maryland’s Ag Reserve includes a new roundhouse for a carousel once located on the National Mall, a water play area and adjacent playground, as well as a skateboard park, picnic pavilions and looped trail system of boardwalks, bridges and paths. The design creates a “Great Lawn” with vistas of historic farmland and stream valleys while integrating site program into the rolling topography of the site.





Our 2013 Master Plan for the park located the roundhouse structure adjacent to a stream valley rather than on top of the hill to allow views into this pristine woodlands. 6 years later we suggested our building have operable doors toward this view to give riders a unique experience. Good things happen to those who wait!









Our work includes broad site planning in both urban and rural environments.
