Thomas Jefferson Athletic Field Renovation

Gunston Center Synthetic Turf Field Replacement
Gordon provided professional athletic design services for the replacement of the synthetic turf multi-purpose field and the addition of new seating and bench areas with shade structures. The specs were written to ensure a minimum of 90% of the materials must be re-used or recycled. The stone choker layer was removed and trucked to Luck Stone to be used for concrete base material. The carpet and infill was rolled up and will be re-used at a paintball facility.

Providence Ball Field
Gordon provided layout and design for a full size 375’ outfield varsity baseball field. The design included irrigation, site surface and under drainage, lighting, bleachers, dugouts, bullpens and batting cages, and an accessible route from the existing parking lot. Preparation of construction documents included plans, details, notes, and specifications necessary for bidding and construction of the athletic field elements as referred herein. Due to the constraints of the existing site and proximity to development and I-66, an extensive netting system was incorporated into the project.

 Providence Park Tennis Courts
Gordon provided layout and design of two side-by-side tennis courts with “California Corners” and ballstops. Design included site surface and detention for the 100-year storm event. Part of the challenge of the design was to provide ADA accessibility from the existing parking lot to the proposed location of the courts on a treed hillside within the park. Consequently the orientation was compromised in order to maintain a 5% access grade with minimal tree disturbance. Gordon also removed and re-designed the existing failed rain garden.

 Lyon Village Park Basketball and Tennis Courts
Gordon provided landscape and civil design services to prepare site permit and construction drawings for design improvements to the existing facilities at Lyon Village Park in Arlington County, Virginia. Improvements included a complete renovation of the basketball and tennis courts with under drainage, ADA compliant walkways, site furnishings, court lighting, and landscaping.

 Draper Drive Park
Gordon provided landscape architecture, surveying, and civil engineering design services to the City of Fairfax for the development of multi-purpose synthetic turf fields at Draper Park. The design consists of retrofitting two natural grass fields with Field Turf’s new Duo-Filament synthetic turf product and the latest light shielding technology.

 Stafford Park Athletic Fields
Gordon provided planning, engineering and surveying services for this athletic field park located in the City of Fairfax, Virginia. The City of Fairfax was interested in meeting the increased recreational needs of its residents by adding to the existing solid base of recreational facilities currently available. The City of Fairfax therefore requested a concept plan and footprint for 14-acres of land. The parcel was developed into athletic fields, with associated amenities including entrance roads and parking lots. The City of Fairfax identified specific minimum design criteria for the rectangular and diamond fields.

 Brambleton Golf Course
Gordon provided full civil engineering, environmental, surveying, and golf course architectural design services for this 18-hole public golf course. The site included approximately four miles of asphalt cart path with three timber bridge crossings of a perennial stream bisecting the site, driving range, tournament shelter, maintenance facility, and clubhouse facility operated by the NVRPA in Loudoun County, Virginia. Cost-effective design, as well as playability and ease of course maintenance were of prime interest to the client.

River Bend Country Club
Gordon developed the master plan and civil engineering design for a major expansion of this exclusive private golf course. In addition, a special permit amendment for the expansion was prepared. Gordon provided the necessary Special Permit Amendments in 1991 and 1998 and worked closely with the staff of both the Fairfax County Site Review Branch and the Office of Planning and Zoning to obtain the necessary site permits in a timely manner. The redesigned facility is now recognized as one of the best private practice facilities in the Mid-Atlantic area because it is 1.5-acres larger than typical practice facilities

 Strasburg Park Master Plan
Gordon conducted a review of the existing Town of Strasburg recreation facilities and provided a recreation master plan to the Town. The master plan addressed both short and long-term demands of a growing community and concerns expressed by Town planners. A key component of the master plan was a multi-use trail to accommodate all ages and abilities. In 2006, the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation approved a Virginia Recreational Trail Grant of $95,880 in support of the Strasburg Park Trail project.

Algonkian Regional Park
Gordon provided civil engineering, design, and surveying of approximately one mile of an asphalt bicycle/jogging trail within the Algonkian Regional Park in Loudoun County, Virginia. A portion of the trail winds through an existing golf course. Gordon designed subtle berming steer pedestrian traffic away from course features while minimizing the impact on the golf course. In addition to the design of the trail, Gordon has designed many other features at Algonkian including the reintroduction of ponds on holes 11, 13, and 15 on the golf course. In recent follow-up work, Gordon completed a site plan amendment for the proposed improvements to the existing swimming pool at the park.
