Field of Dreams Sports Facility Town of Oyster Bay Department of Public Works
This well used Town recreational facility provides fields for soccer, football, and lacrosse events. LiRo-Hill completed design and construction inspection services for the project. Above ground utilities and poor site drainage presented major design challenges. The new fields were constructed with a modified soil structure which allowed for increased vertical drainage of rain water. Utilities were relocated underground to permit unimpeded construction. The final plan included on-site parking, extensive landscaping, prefabricated buildings, basketball courts, playgrounds, and walkways. During a subsequent project phase, LiRo-Hill designed a turf system consisting of a 50/ 50 mix of sand and rubber crumb infill in place of the initially installed natural grass.
