Placemaking in Woodlands Park: Bringing Attention to Hamilton’s Rich History

In 2022 Morse & Associates had the privilege of working on a placemaking project in Woodlands Park in Hamilton. In conjunction with the Barton Village BIA and local historian Sarah Sheehan, we produced and installed content rich graphics highlighting the park’s prolific labour history. Graphics included mesh banners and mural panels with large historic photos, depicting activity in the park before and during its demolition in 1947. Graphic design, detailed drawings, and permit application services were provided as part of Morse & Associates’ scope of work.
