The most recent improvement to the park was the design services to two of the existing Soccer Fields from natural grass to artificial turf fields. The scope of work included the artificial turf and irrigation system construction design documents including project plans, technical specifications as well as environmental resource permit modification for the park site.

The artificial turf field drainage system was integrated with the existing drainage system of the park and the master surface water management system of the Indian Trace Development District. The team worked closely with the City of Weston’s Parks Department staff to research and investigate various artificial turf products to be considered for the project scope. The team recommended and ultimately utilized a design solution that offered the City the most cost-effective construction cost with the least amount of disturbance to the existing site and park operations.
