    1. Recreational Fields

      Recreational Fields - Winner of the 2020 Lower Cape Fear Stewardship Development Award for Significant Achievement.


      Drainage:
      Underground infiltration systems capture stormwater underground so contaminants can be filtered through ground percolation. The slope of the fields keep stormwater for running off into the street and toward the infiltration galleries.

      Tree Conservation: Original Live Oak trees were protected and surveyed weekly to ensure safety and longevity of the trees.

      Lighting: LED field lamps are used to reduce energy usage and cost


      Turf:
      Our artificial turf fields are padded with coconut husks as opposed to plastic reducing the carbon footprint of the project and eliminating dangerous off gassing commonly associated with plastic options.
