Harding Park is an existing community park in the City of Richmond Hill with a softball diamond, a playground and basketball nets. Working with the community and the City, thinc design revitalized the park to meet current and future needs and to improve circulation through it.

The design adds two new playgrounds with high play value, a more functional softball diamond, an outdoor fitness area, a formal full basketball court, small and large group rest areas, and new pathways throughout. A new parking lot was designed with waste and snow management in mind.

To support the site's biodiversity and sustainability, over sixty native trees were planted, which will sequester approximately 38,000 kg of CO2.
