Coal Mountain Park

Cumming, GA

Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with Forsyth County Parks & Recreation to install a multi-use synthetic turf field at Coal Mountain Park in Cumming, GA. As part of a larger public recreation complex featuring ballfields, courts, playgrounds, trails, and community amenities, the new turf field expands access to reliable recreational space that performs consistently in all weather conditions.

The project delivers a durable, low-maintenance playing surface engineered to support frequent community use, youth sports activities, and park programming throughout the year.

Project Goals

  • Provide a dependable synthetic turf surface suitable for multiple sports and recreational uses
  • Improve drainage to reduce downtime following heavy rain
  • Create a durable, low-maintenance alternative to natural grass
  • Enhance community access to all-weather recreational space
  • Support high-volume usage from youth leagues and public park visitors

Our Scope of Work

Site Design and Engineering

The design phase included evaluating existing field conditions, identifying drainage requirements, and establishing grading specifications needed for multi-use recreational activity. Engineering work focused on a stable sub-base, efficient stormwater movement, and seamless integration with the surrounding park layout.

Site Construction

Construction efforts prepared the site for long-term performance under the demands of frequent public use. Work included:

  • Removal of existing surface materials
  • Precision grading to establish suitable field elevations
  • Installation of a compacted aggregate base for improved drainage
  • Construction of underfield drainage components to support reliable all-weather play
  • Preparation of the sub-base to meet structural requirements for synthetic turf

These steps created a consistent and durable foundation ready for turf installation.

Synthetic Turf Installation

The new multi-use synthetic turf system was installed to support a range of sports and recreation programs. Work included:

  • Placement of a monofilament turf surface designed for durability and consistent traction
  • Installation of performance infill engineered for shock absorption and safe movement
  • Secure integration of seams and edges to handle heavy activity
  • A layout suitable for open recreational use, youth sports, and park programming

The result is a dependable field that accommodates varied recreational needs while maintaining long-term performance.

Project Highlights

  • Delivered a multi-use synthetic turf field for diverse community activities
  • Improved drainage to minimize weather-related closures
  • Reduced maintenance demands compared to natural grass systems
  • Provided a year-round playing surface usable by youth leagues, families, and park visitors
  • Strengthened the park’s ability to host scheduled programs and recreational events
  • Added long-term value to a key public recreation facility
