Parks and Recreation

City of Newport Beach Community Park located adjacent to the Pacific Ridge community and Crystal Cove State Park. This park serves adjacent Newport Coast residents featuring three baseball fields with soccer overlay, one soccer field, tot lot, restroom building and on-site parking. The dramatic hilltop setting takes advantage of breathtaking coastal canyon views and features a natural coastal grassland and scrub landscape theme.

The Coto de Caza Golf and Racquet Club is the community’s primary recreation and social facility, serving two highly acclaimed 18-hole Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed golf courses. The project includes two waterfall and lake systems, outdoor dining facilities and golf cart staging areas to serve the 41,000 square foot facility. The adjacent Tennis and Health Club features tennis courts and a magnificent stadium court as well as a resort pool, junior Olympic pool, wading pool, spa and health club facility.

Coto de Caza Sports and Recreation Park and Lennar Fields serve Coto de Caza residents and surrounding communities. The combined parks provide over 16-acres of active use amenities including six little league/pony league fields, three softball fields, five soccer fields, basketball court areas, a sand volleyball court, shaded picnic areas and tot lot play areas.

We have designed dozens of neighborhood level parks often conceived as a new open space amenity associated with our master planned community work as well as renovations of public and private facilities within an existing community fabric. Understanding the local demographics, use levels and recreational needs are the first steps in designing a successful, “long lived” park.

Neighborhood pool facilities are designed to provide predominantly “non-competitive” swim opportunities serving the surrounding residents. Pool configurations and sizes vary from junior Olympic to small lap or “resort style” pools. Depending on local demographics, our pool park designs are often complimented with splash play areas, wading pools, spas, shade cabanas, outdoor fireplaces and barbecue amenities. We lead the design team to ensure the style and theme is reflective of the surrounding neighborhood design vernacular.

This 150-acre community park is in the Medea Creek area of Agoura. The park includes picnic areas, play areas, an amphitheatre, archery range, wetland restoration, wildlife feeder ponds, a maintenance yard and caretakers residence, carefully set in a beautiful oak woodland and coastal sage scrub environment.

Design renovation for the southern end of the popular and heavily used 12-acre lake and surrounding park. The first phase of a phased improvement effort, the project scope included improving public access, circulation, views and facilitating seasonal special events.

This six acre public park is adjacent to Stonegate Elementary School in Irvine, California and is the central core of the Stonegate community. Park amenities include restroom building, parking lot, two full basketball courts (lighted), two tennis courts (lighted), sand volleyball, tot lot with shade structures, picnicking areas and a baseball field with soccer overlay.
