Before Freedom

Hickory Grove was already a standout in the region — a full, well-maintained seasonal park with beautiful amenities, a strong guest community, and an onsite team that cared deeply. The owner had built something special, but after years of managing the day-to-day, they were ready to pass the torch. The biggest need wasn’t a physical overhaul — it was operational support and leadership to ensure the park continued running at a high standard without burning out the team.

After Freedom

The opportunity with Hickory Grove wasn’t in changing what made it special — it was in preserving and optimizing it. Freedom brought in leadership, improved infrastructure, refreshed the brand, and most importantly, made it easier for both guests and staff to interact with the park through digital systems. Plus, with sister park Arrowhead Lake nearby, we opened the door to shared resources and expanded seasonal access.
