California Park & Recreation Society presented a 1999 Award of Excellence to the 26-acre John Kemp Community Park, for which The HLA Group prepared the site master plan and construction documents. Park uses include a lighted, two diamond softball complex with a concession/restroom building, lighted football field, two synthetic turf soccer fields and volleyball courts, group picnic structure, creative playground for children, and an interactive water play feature. The design and construction of the park’s synthetic turf soccer fields was a first in the greater Sacramento region.
