Landscape architects and urban planners who stand with the best at the national level — and have done so from Fredericton since 1983.
Transforming underutilized waterfront into highly prized public space
Our Story
Since 1983, Glenn Group has partnered with municipalities, communities and stakeholders across Atlantic Canada to shape meaningful public spaces.
Over four decades of work in Atlantic Canada has exposed us to a remarkably diverse range of opportunities — and given us a firsthand understanding of life-cycle value and resilient design.
From the beginning we've kept a culture of being current, or ahead of the trends: sustainable practices, continual reinvestment in technology for greater accuracy and richer graphic communication, and the goal of improving with every new assignment. Ask us our favourite project and the answer is always the same — "the one we're working on now."

Our Core Tenets
How we serve communities
Four pillars shape every project we take on — from the first conversation to the ribbon cutting.
Core Tenet 01
Community Parks & Placemaking
Parks and public spaces that go beyond aesthetics — anchoring identity, inviting participation, and becoming cherished gathering places.
Park & Waterfront Design — Shoreline parks, promenades, and natural amenity areas
Public Realm & Civic Spaces — Plazas and streetscapes that reflect community character
Accessibility & Universal Design — Inclusive environments for all ages and abilities
Amenities & Circulation — Site furniture, lighting, wayfinding, and pedestrian flow
Core Tenet 02
Planning & Strategy
Evidence-based strategies that help municipalities make confident decisions about their recreation and public-space futures.
Recreation Master Plans — Assessments of assets and future needs to guide capital investment
Active Transportation Plans — Connected trail and cycling networks for sustainable mobility
Tourism Development Strategies — Destination-building frameworks built on natural assets
Community Engagement — Consultation that brings residents and stakeholders in
Implementation & Funding — Realistic roadmaps with funding pathways and phasing
First Nation Allies — Partnering to ensure Indigenous voices and knowledge shape our work
Core Tenet 03
Project Management & Delivery
We don't just plan — we deliver. We manage the full project lifecycle, from detailed design to construction completion, keeping the build true to vision and on budget.
Design & Construction Documents — Drawings and specifications ready for tendering
Procurement & Tendering — Guidance through RFP processes and contractor selection
Contract Administration — On-the-ground site inspections ensuring quality and compliance
Core Tenet 04
Sport & Recreation Infrastructure
From neighbourhood playgrounds to regional sport complexes, we design facilities for athletes, families, and communities at every level of play.
Fields — Soccer, baseball, rugby, cricket in natural and synthetic turf, built for performance and longevity
Multiuse Courts — Hundreds of tennis, pickleball, and basketball surfaces delivered with local partners
Athletic Complexes — Full-pour and synthetic track systems with integrated support facilities
Lighting Specialists — Performance lighting clearly specified for competitive bidding and value
From First Sketch to Finished Place
In the community, and on the ground
We work shoulder-to-shoulder with communities — listening, sketching, walking the site, and staying involved through construction.
