Weaver Road Park, Manheim Township (Lancaster, PA)

The high demand for athletic fields by local youth and adult sports leagues motivated Manheim Township (Lancaster County, PA) to approach ELA Sport for professional planning, design, and construction phase services to develop the Weaver Road Park Recreational Facility.

ELA Sport served as lead designer on the 38-acre park, which included 240,000 SF of synthetic grass field lined for football, soccer, and lacrosse; two natural grass multi-purpose fields, baseball and softball fields, a field house, pathways, court sports, and parking. The project also required roadway widening, traffic signal design, permitting, and water and sewer line extensions. All work was completed in-house with the support of mechanical engineers and architects for the buildings. Additional services by ELA Sport included processing zoning variances and land development approvals.

ELA Sport was responsible for coordinating the construction team of five prime contractors, including the general site, site electrical, synthetic turf field, stadium lighting, and grandstand construction. Additional coordination was required with the field house architect and the building contractors.
