Bethesda Academy

Savannah, GA

Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with Bethesda Academy, a private school in Savannah, GA, to modernize its outdoor athletic facilities. The project included the demolition of an existing baseball field and the full construction of a new synthetic turf football field paired with a synthetic running track. This upgrade provides Bethesda Academy’s student-athletes with a safe, durable, and high-performance environment designed for year-round use.

The transformation elevates the school’s athletic complex with industry-leading sports construction practices, enhanced drainage performance, and a competition-ready track surface suited for training and events.

Project Goals

  • Replace an aging baseball field with a multi-sport facility optimized for football and track and field
  • Deliver a high-performance athletic field with consistent surface quality, safety, and durability
  • Integrate improved grading and drainage systems to reduce downtime after heavy rain
  • Construct a synthetic running track that supports competition-level training and long-term performance
  • Provide a low-maintenance solution that fits the school’s growing athletic needs

Our Scope of Work

Site Design & Engineering

The project began with a comprehensive site design phase, focusing on converting the existing baseball field footprint into a versatile football and track complex. Our team conducted grading analyses, established efficient stormwater management pathways, and engineered a foundation system capable of supporting synthetic turf and track surfacing.

The resulting design ensures long-term field stability, proper runoff control, and smooth integration of track geometry around the new field.

Site Construction

Our construction team executed the demolition of the former baseball field before preparing the site for new athletic infrastructure. This included:

  • Precision grading to establish correct field elevations
  • Installation of engineered base materials
  • Construction of drainage channels and underlayment systems
  • Establishment of the sub-base required for both the turf field and running track

Every phase adhered to best practices in athletic facility construction, ensuring durability and uniform field performance.

Synthetic Turf Installation

The new synthetic turf football field was built with a focus on safety, playability, and long-term value. Key elements included:

  • Installation of a stable stone base engineered for drainage
  • Placement of a high-grade synthetic turf system
  • Infill materials optimized for athlete impact reduction and consistent traction
  • Seam integration and field markings tailored to Bethesda Academy’s athletic programs

This synthetic turf installation provides a resilient surface capable of supporting daily practices and game-day performance with minimal maintenance requirements.

Track Surfacing

Surrounding the field, we constructed a competition-ready track surface designed for durability, weather resistance, and athlete comfort. Work included:

  • Base preparation and alignment
  • Application of a multi-layer synthetic track surfacing system
  • Finishing textures that support both speed and long-term wear

The new track offers optimal traction and cushioning for sprinters, distance runners, and field event athletes.

Project Highlights

  • Transformed a single-purpose baseball field into a multi-sport, year-round athletic complex
  • Implemented enhanced drainage strategies to reduce weather-related downtime
  • Delivered a durable, low-maintenance synthetic turf system ideal for daily school athletics
  • Installed a modern running track designed for training, meets, and long-term performance
  • Improved athlete safety through consistent surface conditions and engineered shock absorption
  • Created a facility that elevates Bethesda Academy’s ability to host practices, games, and community events

Results

The completed project provides Bethesda Academy with a modernized athletic hub that expands opportunities for both football and track and field programs. The synthetic turf field delivers reliable performance across all seasons, while the new track surface supports competitive training and enhanced safety.

Improved grading and drainage systems significantly reduce field closures after rainfall, increasing facility availability for student-athletes. The school now benefits from a durable, visually impressive, and highly functional complex that supports its long-term athletic development goals.
