This document explores various methods and their implications for parking lot design, exploring a combination of new techniques, technology, and up to-date methods that are all functional, self-sustainable, environmentally friendly, and affordable. The study was based on Haliburton Forest and Wild Life Reserve parking lot located at 1095 Redkenn Road, Haliburton, Ontario,Canada. The purpose of this study was to research strategies and methods to achieve a ‘green’ parking lot design and entrance space in rural areas. The main designs and methods researched were rain gardens, drainage, and bioretention; other ideas such as signage will also be explored, and a supporting case study will be referenced.
