Jesse Allen Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

About The Project:

SCE provided surveying, engineering, planning, landscape architectural, and park design services for the completion of design and construction management for Phase III. This project consisted of final improvements to the park’s athletic fields, as well as ancillary improvements to other areas. The improvements consisted of the redevelopment and upgrade of the park’s natural turf athletic fields to synthetic turf, replacement of perimeter fencing, new restroom and storage building design and construction, removal of bleacher and bleacher pad, landscaping plan, and inspection of other areas of the park to develop a list of recommended repairs and improvements.

Heat mitigation strategies were incorporated into the synthetic turf design. SCE researched and provided alternative infills for the field, which will reduce anticipated “heat island” effect, a common occurrence in urbanized areas due to structures re-emitting the sun’s heat at a stronger level than natural landscapes. This project also incorporates Green Infrastructure with a stormwater management design included to collect runoff from the synthetic turf field.
