O’Neil Park
Public Park, Softball & Football/Soccer Fields
Glendale, Arizona
Services Provided: Civil Engineering, Land Planning, Storm Water Management, Landscape architecture
Project Description: This City of Glendale existing park has been updated to replace the existing softball field with a new football / soccer field that will be used by the local citizens. Fencing, bleachers, and a scoreboard have been installed for this field. Solar pathway lighting has been utilized to reduce the city’s electrical costs. The park is also being converted back to flood irrigation to reduce the demand and costs for potable water use in the irrigation system.
The dual supply irrigation system was designed to leverage the lower cost flood irrigation during the summer high demands, but also segments parts of the park off during peak uses, and is irrigate by a spray irrigation system.
Continental Sports Park
Regional Sports Park & Baseball/Softball Fields
Flagstaff, Arizona
Services Provided: Civil Engineering, Land Planning, Storm Water Management, Landscape architecture
Project Description: CVL worked with the City of Flagstaff Parks and Recreation Department to develop this 106 acre regional park. The sports park was designed to incorporate a combination of five youth and adult baseball / softball fields. To support these fields a new 200 space parking lot and playground area was worked in to the site. To help conserve water and maintenance costs only the playing fields were planted in turf. The remaining areas received a combination of native trees, shrubs, and a native grass seed mix to reinforce the City’s desire to reduce the parks demand on the use of potable water.
