Location: Logan Township, Blair County
Project Manager: Adam J. Long, RLA
Project Engineer: Brian E. Smith, PE
Keller Engineers’ team added several ADA improvements and new amenities to the existing park. Project funding included DCNR, CDBG, and Logan Township.
High groundwater levels, significant floodplain and floodway, and poor soil infiltration were corrected through a creative stormwater strategy developed by Keller Engineers’ environmental team.
Additional responsibilities included boundary and topographic survey, site design, grading, erosion control, NPDES permitting, landscape plan, bidding assistance, stormwater management, construction administration, and water well and softener system consultation.
Throughout construction, the existing vault restroom building was demolished and a new restroom with plumbing was installed in its place. A second restroom was installed further inside the park to serve the west end. Additionally, ADA pathways were designed to provide access to existing park elements such as sports fields and courts.
The existing playground equipment was replaced in a drier location, and a train-viewing area was added. Handrails and other ADA modifications were made to an existing footbridge, and new light poles with provisions for cameras were added throughout the park.
