ETI Corporation was the lead firm in designing a 250-acre regional park in Shelby County, Tennessee. Due to the complexity of issues involved in this Project, ETI assembled a multi-disciplined team to meet the community's vision for a regional park. This team of planners, architects, and engineers, and landscape architects, under the direction of ETI, was able to develop an implementation model of a public/private partnership for a recreational facility that was planned to be emulated throughout the United States. The design process included the development of plans through a hierarchy of scenarios based on programmatic adjacencies, value engineering, and environmental conditions. The goal of the facility was to provide the community a balanced recreational facility that illustrates the blending of active recreational facilities with passive uses. Active recreational uses programmed included a 3.5 million-dollar soccer complex located on the southern 125-acre parcel within the regional park. The soccer complex includes sixteen regulation soccer fields. Passive recreational uses comprise an expanded greenway facility along with a wetland interpretive center. Also included in the site design was a neighborhood oriented activity area that includes picnic tables, tot lot playground, small fishing pond, and passive open space. Additionally, the pond serves as a reservoir to back up the water requirements for irrigating the soccer fields. The combination of the active with the passive recreation activities provides the community with a range of choices, as well as preserving open space and providing needed recreational facilities.
