The Karl Stirner Arts Trail (KSAT) is located on the south side of the Bushkill River in Easton, Pennsylvania between 3rd and 13th Street. The trail is paved and lined with trees and vegetation on both sides. Sculptures and artistic elements are featured along the 2.5 mile trail, as well as a dog park. Our task is to design a feasibility study of implementing a musical playground alongside the KSAT, analyzing the social, policy, technical and economic aspects of the project. The feasibility study will be used in the spring of 2016 when the Engineering Studies 480 Sustainable Solutions course will actually construct the proposed design. We are excited by the prospect of positively contributing to the community and making Easton an even better place to live.
