Community Sports

Fields, tracks, courts, pools - they put the "unity" in your community.

Sports facilities are woven into the social fabric of every community. They serve as vibrant hubs for health, wellness, and engagement, bringing neighbors together to play, cheer, and connect. Our portfolio showcases a range of athletic facilities—both indoor and outdoor—designed to accommodate user groups of all ages and skill levels, from baseball, softball, soccer, and football to basketball, volleyball, tennis, pickleball, running, and swimming.

From casual players to seasoned athletes, we develop spaces that celebrate community spirit while providing an accessible, collaborative, and practical design process. Together, let’s create facilities that put “unity” at the heart of your community.

We have experience with baseball, softball, soccer, football, and field hockey fields, as well as multi-purpose fields serving many user groups.
Our court portfolio covers basketball, volleyball, tennis and the all-popular pickleball – indoors or outdoors.
Having designed many YMCAs, we have experience with indoor tracks and courts, swimming pools, fitness centers, spin class and yoga studios, and locker rooms.
