Sportscape International sports field design, construction, and repair for baseball, football, and soccer fields

The Challenge:

The original layout of the school’s varsity baseball field and facilities for field events, like the long jump and the shot put, had left several areas of wasted space, which were too small to be useful. At the same time, the football and soccer teams were chronically short of practice space.

The Bishop Lynch reconstruction project included
moving the baseball field 47' along with the removal
of field events facilities to allow for the construction
of a football/soccer practice field.

The Solution:

Sportscape’s planners proposed shifting the baseball diamond 47’ down the third base line to take advantage of wasted space behind the outfield fence. This project allowed the building of a carefully contoured infield, and included the replacement of light standards and the first-base dugout. The field event facilities were moved to a new area at the curve of the running track. In the space created by moving the diamond and the field events, Sportscape was able to build a new full-width football and soccer practice field 100 yards long.

Byshop Lynch After
The completed project at Bishop Lynch High School
includes a reconstructed baseball diamond,
a spacious football/soccer practice field, and new
field events facilities, all making more efficient use
of the school's available space.

The Result:

This project has allowed for more efficient use of the school’s grounds, and has upgraded facilities for three different sports. A new automatic irrigation system now waters the practice field, as well as the baseball diamond. The field events have now been moved to positions adjacent to the track, where spectators can watch them from the main grandstands.
