Blandair Park Phase 2. Columbia, Maryland.
Two synthetic turf baseball fields with dugouts and bullpens, a playground, six tennis courts, a turf quad, a comfort station and picnic shelter, pedestrian promenade, landscaping, parking, signage, a concession pad, and utility services were designed. Development of this 16 acre phase required topographic surveys, updating the forest conservation plan, geotechnical investigations, preparation of construction documents, extensive permits/approvals, and the coordination with adjacent property owners.
