Stump Park Site Plan & Construction Documents
Location: York Township, Pennsylvania
Client: York Township
JMT completed a park development plan that promoted recreational
activities while emphasizing conservation of natural and heritage
resources.
This park development plan, developed by JMT working
collaboratively with the Township, empowered local and regional
planning entities to conserve natural and heritage resources while
promoting recreational activities through a collaborative planning
and design process, and demonstrated sustainable growth and green
infrastructure.
The proposed improvements included the development and
construction of a two-way access drive, walking trails, four
multi-purpose fields, two pavilions, a playground, two pervious
asphalt parking lots totaling 166 spaces, of which four were ADA
accessible, and several bioretention/rain gardens stormwater
facilities, emergent plantings and site-wide tree plantings and
landscaping.
To maximize the available area for the development of athletic
fields and related site infrastructure and amenities, JMT pursued a
low impact development approach. This approach reduced the amount
of available land required for storm water management facilities,
reduced runoff volumes, and lessened overall impacts to the site.
Porous pavement was utilized for the proposed parking areas and
trails. A series of shallow rain gardens and bio-swales were
designed and constructed to treat stormwater runoff, filter
pollutants and improve water quality.
This project required a multi-disciplined team to design and
prepare a project master plan, land development and construction
documents, erosion and sediment control design and permitting,
highway occupancy permitting, stormwater management design and
NPDES permitting, grant writing and coordination, bidding services
and post award construction administration and observation. By
showcasing this project as implementing "green infrastructure,"
this eco-friendly approach was a key factor in enabling the
Township to secure over $440,000 in grant dollars for the project
through PennVEST for the implementation of green
infrastructure.
