Civil/Municipal: Parks and Recreation - Example Projects

Sussex County Technical School - Running Track Replacement

​CP Engineers (CPE) provided design, bidding, and construction phase services for the replacement of the School’s running track.  In addition to the replacement of the track, long jump, pole-vault, and high jump running surface and underlying asphalt base, additional drainage improvements were constructed along the inside of the track to maximize drainage away from the track surface, as well as new perimeter fencing, asphalt walkways, a new long jump pit and shot put ring.  CPE also designed and coordinated the purchase of custom track appurtenances and equipment.

Township of Sparta – Preliminary Design of White Lake Recreational Facility

​The Township of Sparta retained CP Engineers (CPE) to provide survey and preliminary planning and design for a new sports field and recreation area facility.  The proposed project consisted of design for site access, parking, lighting, synthetic and natural turf fields and stormwater management.  Additionally, CPE provided the design of support facilities to accommodate the anticipated patrons, inclusive of on-site sanitary sewage treatment and disposal.      

Town of Secaucus - Buchmuller Park

​Project involved a $1.8 million refurbishment of a municipal park.  Upgrades included new synthetic turf field with new scoreboard and shade structures over new bleacher system, new synthetic turf putting green, new amphitheater seating, new bocce court, new epoxy surfaces for existing tennis and basketball courts, a new fountain, and stamped concrete surfaces throughout.  The project was spread out over two construction seasons with professional services including design and construction administration.

North Bergen/Guttenberg – Waterfront Park

​Multiple funding sources were combined to fund the construction of a public park that straddled the municipal boundary of the Township of North Bergen and the Town of Guttenberg at the Hudson River.  The project construction began with the installation of surcharge materials to stabilize the historical fill on the site.  The surcharge material was then recycled to form the soil cap over the same historical fill as required by the NJDEP.  When complete, the park contained a new parking area, an extension of the Riverfront Walk, a playground, a picnic shelter, an amphitheater, and a restroom facility.  Design services provided included site layout, stormwater control, and creative grading to avoid the removal of existing soils while utilizing the materials imported for the surcharging phase.  Complete construction administration services were also provided.
