Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with Lost Mountain Park in Powder Springs, GA to perform a full conversion of two athletic fields into synthetic turf multi-purpose playing surfaces. This project transforms existing grass or worn fields into durable, high-performance areas suited for a wide range of sports and community recreation — improving reliability, safety, and usability regardless of weather conditions.

These upgrades aim to deliver long-term value to the park and its users by employing contemporary sports construction standards, engineered drainage, and low-maintenance turf systems built for heavy use.

Project Goals

• Replace existing natural or worn field surfaces with durable synthetic turf on two fields
• Enhance surface consistency and safety for multiple sports and recreational uses
• Improve drainage and reduce weather-related closures or maintenance
• Provide all-weather, low-maintenance fields capable of supporting community athletics
• Expand the park’s capacity for hosting events, leagues, and recreational activities

Our Scope of Work

Site Design & Engineering

We began by assessing existing field conditions, drainage patterns, and soil stability at Lost Mountain Park. A comprehensive design plan was developed to ensure proper grading, stormwater management, and structural base design to support synthetic turf installation for both fields. The design allowed for long-term durability and compatibility with multiple athletic uses.

Site Construction

Construction work included removal of existing turf or grass surfaces, precision grading to establish optimal elevation and drainage, installation of compacted aggregate base layers engineered for subsurface stability, and construction of drainage infrastructure to ensure consistent runoff and surface integrity under heavy use.

Synthetic Turf Installation

Once the basework was complete, high-quality synthetic turf systems were installed on both fields. Installation included:

• Laying monofilament turf engineered for multi-sport performance and durability
• Installing performance infill to provide cushioning, traction, and consistent play surface
• Securing seams and edges to withstand frequent recreational or athletic use
• Final field markings and layout configured to support varied sports and activities

The result is two fully functional, weather-resistant multi-purpose turf fields ready for community use.

Project Highlights

• Delivered two modern synthetic turf fields for multi-purpose athletics and recreation
• Improved drainage and field consistency to maximize playability in wet conditions
• Reduced maintenance needs compared with natural grass fields
• Enabled year-round usability for sports, leagues, and community events
• Provided safe, durable surfaces supporting heavy multi-sport use
• Enhanced park recreational infrastructure and long-term community value

Results

With the completion of the turf conversion, Lost Mountain Park now offers two robust, all-weather playing fields that serve as reliable recreation zones for sports teams, leagues, and community users. The synthetic surfaces ensure consistent performance, safe footing, and minimal downtime, regardless of season or weather.

These improvements significantly enhance the park’s capacity to support organized athletics, casual recreation, and community gatherings, contributing to healthier, more active lifestyle opportunities for Powder Springs residents. The low-maintenance design also reduces upkeep costs and extends the usable life of the fields.
