Parks & Trails Signage

Parks and trails sign systems are sets of signs and markers placed along parks, trails, and outdoor recreation areas to provide information, guidance, and instructions for visitors. Systems can include directional signs, park maps, trail markers, warning signs, and interpretive signs that provide information about the history, geography, flora, and fauna of the area. The purpose of a parks and trails sign system is to improve the visitor experience, ensure safety, and provide clear and consistent information to all park users. Hi Signs helps provide content creation for interpretive signage, as well as cartography and directional signs to efficiently guide patrons.

Hi Signs worked closely with the City of Edmonton on the implementation of multiple parks and trails throughout the city. Parks and trails signage provide opportunities for people to engage in physical activity, leading to improved health and wellness. Thoughtful signage can help visitors find the best trails for their fitness level and encourage them to explore new areas. Signs can help foster a sense of community and this can help build stronger connections between neighbours and promote a sense of community ownership over the parks and trails. Hi Signs also helps make parks and trails accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. This can improve the quality of life for those who may not otherwise have access to these important community resources.
