Sports and recreation program participation is at an all-time high in the United States, creating great demand for sports facilities, play areas, and supporting infrastructure. Additionally, community revitalization initiatives are using recreation areas as the focal point of development. Our experts help clients achieve their goals of developing sports and recreational areas while preserving and often improving the surrounding environment. We understand how to address the technical challenges associated with the development of safe and resilient sports facilities in a variety of challenging settings.
Every sports, parks, and recreation project is an opportunity to look at the big picture and identify opportunities to create greater value and benefit communities and the environment. We have a strong track record of exploring and defining new opportunities for our clients, often doing so in ways that enhance our ability to secure state and federal funding. Examples include incorporating green infrastructure and creative stormwater management in park improvement projects and transforming brownfields into community parks and athletic facilities, among others.
