Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. contributed to the development of Championship Park in Kokomo, IN, a modern all-turf baseball complex designed to support high-volume tournament play and extended seasonal use. The facility features multiple high school, college, and junior softball fields built with synthetic turf systems engineered for durability, weather resistance, and consistent athletic performance.

With an emphasis on quality basework, field construction, and drainage optimization, the improvements help ensure each field can withstand heavy use while maintaining reliable, safe, and predictable playing conditions.

Project Goals

• Support the construction of an all-turf baseball and softball complex
• Deliver durable field systems capable of handling year-round competition
• Improve grading and drainage to reduce downtime after rain events
• Provide consistent surface performance across multiple fields
• Create a modern athletic environment suitable for high-volume tournaments

Our Scope of Work

Site Design and Engineering

Field development began with a detailed review of each playing surface to determine the grading, drainage capacity, and foundational requirements essential for synthetic turf systems across multiple field sizes. Design efforts emphasized efficient stormwater movement and long-term field stability, ensuring uniform performance throughout the complex.

Site Construction

Construction activities focused on preparing the subgrade and establishing the structural base needed to support the synthetic turf installation. Key tasks included:

• Excavation and removal of unsuitable materials
• Field-specific precision grading to meet baseball and softball slope requirements
• Installation of aggregate base layers engineered for rapid drainage
• Construction of perimeter and underfield drainage systems for consistent water flow
• Preparation of field edges and surrounding infrastructure for seamless integration

These foundational elements supplied the stability and consistency expected from a high-performance athletic facility.

Synthetic Turf Installation

Each field received a modern synthetic turf system designed to support baseball and softball play. Installation work typically included:

• Placement of monofilament turf designed for ball response and athlete traction
• Layered performance infill to balance safety, firmness, and playability
• Integration of infield, outfield, and foul territory turf zones
• Installation of permanent field markings tailored to each age group and competition level

The resulting surfaces support uniform play, reduced ball irregularities, and consistent athlete movement across all fields in the complex.

Project Highlights

• Delivered durable basework and field preparation for an all-turf athletic complex
• Improved drainage performance across multiple baseball and softball fields
• Created consistent and predictable playing surfaces for high-volume, multi-field use
• Reduced maintenance needs compared to natural grass systems
• Enabled year-round tournament scheduling with minimal weather-related delays
• Supported the development of a modern, state-of-the-art facility

Results

Championship Park now features multiple synthetic turf fields designed to endure continuous use from leagues, tournaments, and community events. The improved drainage and field construction work result in reliable scheduling and fewer cancellations, while the synthetic surfaces allow athletes of all ages to train and compete on consistent, safe playing fields.

The work completed helps establish Championship Park as a premier baseball and softball destination capable of hosting regional and statewide competitions with confidence.
