Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. provided specialized site preparation and engineered base work for Panorama Park in Colorado Springs, CO as part of the park’s broader redevelopment efforts. Completed in December 2021, this work focused on building durable, well-drained subsurface foundations to support planned recreational and athletic-use areas within the expanding community park.

By establishing precise grading, stable base layers, and integrated drainage infrastructure, Capital Sports Construction helped prepare the site for future surfacing systems and multi-use improvements aligned with the park’s modernization goals.

Project Goals

• Prepare designated areas of the park for future recreational or athletic surfacing
• Establish durable, well-graded sub-bases for long-term performance
• Improve drainage and water management across active-use zones
• Support broader park redevelopment efforts through reliable construction practices
• Provide flexible foundations compatible with a range of future surface types

Our Scope of Work

Site Design and Coordination

Capital Sports Construction participated in the technical planning required to establish elevations, drainage pathways, and base construction methods appropriate for active-use park areas. This work ensured the subsurface design aligned with the overall redevelopment vision and met structural requirements for future installations.

Earthwork and Grading

Site preparation included cutting, filling, and reshaping designated project zones to achieve proper field geometry and promote safe, efficient water movement. Fine grading was completed to deliver consistent elevations suitable for subsequent construction phases.

Engineered Base Work

Capital Sports Construction installed engineered aggregate base layers designed to support a variety of potential surfacing systems — including synthetic turf, play surfaces, sport courts, or multi-use recreation areas. Tasks included:

• Placement and compaction of structural aggregate
• Establishment of load-bearing foundations for high-use environments
• Integration of drainage solutions to manage stormwater and surface runoff
• Quality-control measures to ensure uniformity and long-term stability

This flexible construction approach ensures that the prepared areas can accommodate multiple community uses as the park’s programming evolves.
