Project
Located along the route once traveled by famed naturalist William Bartram, Camp Heritage is an interpretation of the rural Florida “fish-camp” architecture and native North Florida landscape. With 1,300 homesites, it is the centerpiece of the Heritage Landing community. The family-oriented neighborhood places a strong emphasis on social interaction, recreation and environmental preservation. Recreational amenities include a competition/lap pool, social/play pool, interactive “Manatee Springs” fountain, and a water slide tower inspired by forest-service overlooks. The Storytelling Ring is an ideal location for children’s activities and reinforces the summer-camp character. Other amenities include basketball, tennis, a soccer playing field, sandlot baseball/softball and a children’s playground. Completed in 2005, the community was awarded the 2006 Florida ASLA Award of Merit For Excellence in Landscape Architecture.
