Sherwood Forest Park

BURLINGTON, ON

This project involved the redevelopment of, and improvements to, an existing sports complex of 4 ball diamonds. A major project challenge was successfully maintaining access to 3 of the 4 diamonds throughout the baseball season. The centrepiece is an iconic 1,200 sq ft washroom facility with a curved canopy extending 3,500 sq ft to shade an outdoor plaza. The building is finished with masonry, architecturally finished concrete and decorative steel gates. The plaza is paved concrete with a decorative spin finish. New playgrounds and fitness stations have been added with wood fibre and rubberized surfacing respectively. The main ball diamond outfield has been extended, with a new warning track, backstop and outfield fencing with raised netting. A new driveway with parking accommodates 68 cars, with a median bioswale LID feature. Reconstruction of site servicing includes watermain, sanitary and storm services with new street connections, requiring repaving of the municipal cul-de-sac. Landscape improvements include concrete and asphalt-paved pathways, armourstone seating, lighting, planting, seed and sodding. The project required demolition of existing outbuildings, backstops, fences, pavements and trees, and reworking of irrigation mainlines. Earthworks included the management and removal of impacted soils to a licensed landfill.
