Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with local stakeholders in Huntersville, NC to construct and install four synthetic turf soccer fields at Richard Barry Memorial Park. The project delivers modern, weather-resistant playing surfaces designed to support youth soccer programs, recreational leagues, and community sports activities throughout the year.

By replacing traditional natural surfaces with durable synthetic turf systems, the park now offers consistent performance, improved safety, and extended field availability for players and coaches.

Project Goals

• Develop four high-quality synthetic turf soccer fields for youth and community use
• Improve drainage and field resilience to minimize weather-related cancellations
• Create durable, low-maintenance surfaces capable of supporting heavy play
• Enhance player safety and game consistency across all fields
• Expand the park’s ability to host practices, matches, and multi-field events

Our Scope of Work

Site Design and Engineering

Field layouts were evaluated to support proper spacing, safe run-offs, and optimal orientation. Engineering plans incorporated grading specifications, drainage pathways, and sub-base requirements to ensure reliable performance in a high-traffic, multi-field environment.

Site Construction

Construction began with clearing and preparing the field footprints, followed by:

• Precision grading for accurate field elevations and slope
• Installation of compacted aggregate base layers engineered for stability
• Integration of drainage infrastructure to support all-weather field use
• Sub-base compaction and verification to ensure long-term durability

This groundwork provided the structural foundation necessary for modern synthetic turf systems.

Synthetic Turf Installation

Each field received a full synthetic turf installation designed specifically for soccer play. Components included:

• Placement of monofilament turf engineered for durability and consistent ball response
• Performance infill to balance shock absorption and firmness
• Secure seam and perimeter installation to withstand heavy usage
• Final line striping configured for age-appropriate play formats

The multi-field layout enables simultaneous practices, matches, and recreational use across the park.

Project Highlights

• Installed four new synthetic turf soccer fields to enhance community sports programming
• Improved drainage to ensure fields remain playable following rain
• Delivered low-maintenance surfaces that reduce downtime and upkeep costs
• Created consistent and safe playing conditions for youth and recreational athletes
• Expanded capacity for training, league play, and multi-field events
• Increased year-round usability for families, clubs, and community programs

Results

Richard Barry Memorial Park now offers a modern, reliable soccer complex featuring four synthetic turf fields capable of supporting heavy community usage. The upgraded surfaces provide consistent footing, predictable play characteristics, and improved safety for players of all ages.

These enhancements significantly reduce maintenance demands and weather-related disruptions, allowing the park to host more games, events, and daily activities. The project strengthens local soccer infrastructure and expands recreational opportunities within the Huntersville community.
