Rock Creek Park

Dawsonville, GA

Overview

Capital Sports Construction, Inc. partnered with Rock Creek Park in Dawsonville, GA to perform comprehensive base work for the full conversion of two multi-purpose athletic fields. This phase establishes the engineered groundwork required for future synthetic turf installation, ensuring long-term durability, performance, and drainage efficiency.

These improvements prepare the fields for year-round athletic use and significantly enhance the park’s ability to support community sports programs and recreational activities.

Project Goals

  • Perform full base work to support synthetic turf conversion on two athletic fields
  • Improve field grading, stability, and structural integrity for long-term performance
  • Install drainage systems that reduce weather-related downtime
  • Prepare consistent, high-quality foundations suited for multi-purpose sports use
  • Reduce maintenance demands once turf systems are installed

Our Scope of Work

Site Design and Engineering

We began by evaluating soil conditions, existing elevations, and drainage behavior across both fields. Engineering plans were developed to optimize drainage flow, surface stability, and sub-base structure, ensuring compatibility with future synthetic turf systems.

Site Construction (Base Work)

Construction activities focused on establishing engineered sub-bases capable of supporting synthetic turf installation. Key tasks included:

  • Excavation and removal of existing natural field materials
  • Precision grading to achieve accurate field elevations and runoff control
  • Installation of compacted aggregate base layers engineered for stability
  • Integration of subsurface drainage components to support all-weather field performance
  • Sub-base preparation meeting specifications required for high-quality turf systems

This foundational work ensures both fields are structurally prepared for the next phase of synthetic turf installation.

Project Highlights

  • Completed engineered base work for two multi-purpose athletic fields
  • Improved field drainage to support reliable, all-weather performance
  • Created stable, well-graded foundations for future turf installation
  • Reduced long-term maintenance needs by replacing unsuitable soils and improving drainage
  • Enhanced the park’s readiness for expanded athletic programming and field use
  • Provided infrastructure that supports durable, high-use community sports facilities

Results

Rock Creek Park now has two properly engineered field foundations that are ready for full synthetic turf installation. The new base structures provide improved drainage, stability, and long-term performance — essential for fields expected to endure heavy community use.

Once turf installation is complete, the fields will offer consistent, safe, and weather-resistant playing surfaces suitable for a range of sports and activities, supporting Dawson County’s growing recreational needs.
