City of Wauwatosa Hart Park Athletic Fields
The City of Wauwatosa contracted GRAEF to help restore this community asset back to the regional athletic venue that it once was. Previously used as the home field for five local football teams, Hart Park’s usage had steadily declined due to the age and declining quality of the natural grass football field, running track, and stadium seating. GRAEF prepared a detailed report of different alternatives for renovations at Hart Park Athletic Field. The analysis included a comparison of similar athletic facilities in the area, preliminary design and a description of five alternatives, a preliminary estimate of design and construction costs, and a financial analysis for the possible revenue generation of the improved athletic venue. The City of Wauwatosa used the report to move forward with a full reconstruction of the athletic field complex.
GRAEF designed the complete renovation of the athletic complex. Improvements include the replacement of eight tennis courts, reconstruction of the existing six lane track with an eight lane track and associated field event areas, the replacement of the natural grass football field with a synthetic turf multi-sport field, bleachers for 5,000 spectators with a new press box, new sports lighting, and associated water main and storm sewer infrastructure improvements. GRAEF's design team successfully met a condensed design schedule for the project. The study, design, and construction were all completed in less than 12 months for the start of fall football.
