From wayfinding signage that help the public navigate your trail, to informational signs that educate trail visitors about the area, promote conservation, and create a more interactive experience, proper signage can take trails to the next level.
The Heber-Kamas Ranger District created signs to help guide and inform visitors while on the trails. Learn more on the iZone website where they feature this project as both a case study and in their Project Gallery.
Signs are invaluable for parks, trails, and greenways. They make spaces interactive, convey information, create safer environments, and help users find their way. When installing signage it is very important to work with experts so that the signs are long lasting, fit spaces, are properly mounted, withstand weathering, and more. Companies like iZone Imaging make this process as easy and successful as possible, and work with buyers to create amazing signage.
iZone creates a variety of products including signs and wayfinding, exhibit displays, decorative surfaces, and hardware. Buyers can contact iZone and will be directed to work with a regional representative who can help them turn their artwork into beautiful signage. The below galleries show unique sign solutions that iZone helped implement to bring the user experience to the next level.
Martial Cottle Park is one of Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department’s newest urban parks. Through signs it celebrates California’s shared agricultural heritage and how the tradition of farming and sharing food continues to shape the landscape, people, and history.
