There are plenty of ways to "Halff" fun this summer! 😎 Did you know you can experience some of our infrastructure and parks projects in real life?

Check out these 5 spots for your next adventure:

👣 1. Heritage Trail | Round Rock, TX
Halff partnered with the City of Round Rock to plan, design and deliver this transformative park and trail system through the historic downtown district. It weaves together historic elements of the original "round rock" and a signature spiral ramp connecting to the heart of the city. Originally initiated as a master planning effort, Halff supported it through final design and construction, ensuring the successful realization of the City’s vision.

🎵 2. Riverfront Music Garden | Jacksonville, FL
Halff helped shape this interactive riverfront destination through landscape architecture, hardscape, irrigation, lighting and audio/visual design services. Working with Hanson Professional Services and the City of Jacksonville, the space is now a great place for visitors to enjoy the St. Johns River while exploring music-inspired features.

🚴 3. Deep Fork Creek Trail | Oklahoma City, OK
A 4.5-mile trail, Halff designed the trail alignment and provided bridge engineering, drainage improvements, ADA compliance services and project management in partnership with the City of Oklahoma City. It helps close one of the final gaps in Oklahoma City's growing trail network, which connects key destinations together.

🌾 4. Old Celina Park | Celina, TX
Partnering with the City of Celina, Halff was responsible for the design of this one-acre all-inclusive playground located within Old Celina Park. Additional park improvements included new trails, a service road, restroom facility and ADA-accessibility upgrades that make the park welcoming for all ages.

⛰️ 5. Hill at Sims | Houston, TX
Halff served as the prime civil engineering consultant for this award-winning transformation with the Harris County Precinct 1 and the Houston Parks Board. It helped turn a regional flood-control basin into a 100-acre community destination that delivers both recreation and natural flood protection.

💧 Stormwater converted to potable water is redefining water resuse. With 1.3 million people residing in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, this fast-growing corridor faces critical needs as they experience prolonged drought and increasing water demand. That's what sparked an innovative project.

The Hidalgo County Drainage District No. 1 deep in South Texas is rethinking water supply. The first of its kind, this award-winning pilot-scale project was strongly advocated for by Hidalgo County Precinct 1 Commissioner David L. Fuentes. It captures stormwater, treats it and delivers potable water. Now, plans are underway to construct a full-scale treatment plant capable of producing enough water for 20,000 residents (5 million gallons per day), with potential to serve more than 200,000 people.

This project not only innovates a new water supply and creates a blueprint. The 225-acre detention pond also mitigates flooding, showing how infrastructure can serve multiple purposes. Zooming out, the project redefined the industry’s relationship with stormwater uses in arid and flood-prone regions.

It's a story about how engineering excellence can alter a community's approach to one of its most vital supplies: water.

Project Details
💧 Delta Reclamation Water Treatment Pilot Plant Study
📍 Northeastern Hidalgo County, TX
🤝 Hidalgo County Drainage District No. 1 (HCDD1)

HCDD1 District General Manager Raul E. Sesin stated, “The project showcases advanced engineering solutions that improve water availability and regionalization, setting a benchmark for similar facilities."

"Through comprehensive research and pilot testing, the study provides valuable data and practical recommendations that can be applied to future large-scale implementations.”

📓Meet Water Resources Intern Julian Ybarra, joining us in The Woodlands office!

This summer, Julian has been gaining hands-on experience with drainage, structural and hydraulic modeling projects while learning how engineering software and field work come together to support real communities. From building the Bee Creek model to visiting project sites during heavy rainstorms, he's developed new technical skills and a deeper understanding of the work behind every project.

From the project he's most proud of to the lessons he's learned about networking and the tools he uses every day, swipe through to learn more about Julian's water resources internship!
